S_EStopOut output

Output signal of the function block (enable signal).

Data type: SAFEBOOL

The enable signal depends on the status of the emergency-stop control device (activated or not activated) and any start-up/restart inhibits that have been specified (S_StartReset and S_AutoReset). Furthermore, it controls the request for the stop function.

Hinweis
Since the enable signal is present at the S_EStopOut output, this output is also referred to as the enable output.

Connection: Connect the S_EStopOut output to an output terminal of your application, either directly or via other safety-related functions/function blocks.

The enable signal may only control the process directly if this does not adversely affect the safety-related function.

WARNUNG
Unintended machine operation
  • Verify that the enable signal only controls the process directly if this does not adversely affect the safety-related function.
  • Validate the overall safety-related function, including the start-up behavior of the process, and thoroughly test the application.

ValueDescription
SAFETRUENo stop function is requested (normal operation).

The following conditions must be met:

  • The function block has been activated (input Activate = TRUE)
  • and the emergency-stop control device is not activated (input S_EStopIn = SAFETRUE)
  • and no start-up/restart inhibit is active (setting made with S_StartReset and/or S_AutoReset)
  • and the function block has not detected an error.
SAFEFALSEThe stop function is requested (emergency-stop).

This may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The function block is not activated (input Activate = FALSE)
  • or the function block detects that the emergency-stop control device is activated (input S_EStopIn = SAFEFALSE)
  • or the start-up/restart inhibit is active (setting made with S_StartReset and/or S_AutoReset)
  • or the function block has detected an error.

The risk of unintended start-up/restart and/or manipulation can be reduced by combining a stop request from the safety-related application and an operation stop from the standard application.

WARNUNG
Unintended start-up
  • Make certain that appropriate procedures and measures (according to applicable sector standards) have been established to help avoid hazardous situations when starting up the Sicherheitssteuerung.
  • Make certain that no unintended start-up/restart or manipulation can occur.
  • Validate the overall safety-related function, including the start-up/restart behavior of the process, and thoroughly test the application.

Precise details of the behavior of the S_EStopOut output in relation to the start-up/restart inhibit are given in the following table:
