Error output

Output for error message.

Data type: BOOL

Each error message (Error = TRUE) causes the enable signal at the S_OutControl output to switch to SAFEFALSE and maintain this state.

Hinweis
Additional measures, e.g., an additional function stop, can be taken to reduce the risk of an unintended start-up.

The error state (Error = TRUE) can only be exited if the error condition no longer exists and if there is a positive signal edge at the Reset input. If the error state has been caused by a static TRUE signal at the Reset input, this must be switched to FALSE in order to exit the error state.1

Hinweis
The error state of the function block can only be exited if the cause of the error no longer exists.

Connection: The state of the error output can be evaluated in the application program and is also useful in the debug mode of PLCnext Engineer. If required, the signal can be transmitted externally for diagnostic purposes (via a global I/O variable or other functions/function blocks).

WARNUNG
Non-conformance to safety function requirements
  • Verify that the formal parameter is only used for diagnostic purposes which must not reduce the safety integrity.
  • Validate the source code of your application program accordingly and thoroughly test the application.

ValueDescription
TRUEThe function block has detected an error. The error state is shown at the DiagCode output.
FALSEThe function block is either not activated or has not detected an error.

1Resetting the error by activating the reset button can cause the S_OutControl output to switch to SAFETRUE immediately (depending on the status of the other input signals).

WARNUNG
Unintended start-up
  • Verify the impact of resetting an error by means of a positive signal edge at the Reset input.
  • Make certain that appropriate procedures and measures (according to applicable sector standards) have been taken to help avoid hazardous situations when resetting an error.
  • Do not enter the zone of operation when resetting an error.
  • Ensure that no other persons can access the zone of operation when resetting an error.
  • Use appropriate safety interlocks where personnel and/or equipment hazards exist.
