S_AOPD_Out output

Output for enable signal of the function block.

The enable signal depends on the status of the protective device and the start-up inhibit.

Data type: SAFEBOOL

This signal represents the state of the safety-related equipment and is the enable signal for the entire process. Connect this signal in the safety logic such that, when the function block outputs a SAFEFALSE signal, the application switches to the defined safe state and retains it.

Hinweis
As the enable signal is present at the S_AOPD_Out output, this output is also referred to as the enable output.

Connection: Connect the S_AOPD_Out 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. The following conditions must be met:

  • The function block has been activated (input Activate = TRUE)
  • and the light beam of the safety-related equipment (e.g., light barrier) is not interrupted (S_AOPD_In = SAFETRUE)
  • and no start-up inhibit is active (setting made with S_StartReset)
  • and the function block has not detected an error.

Hinweis
When muting is active (S_MutingActive = SAFETRUE) or when an override operation is active (OverrideActive = TRUE), the light beam of the safety-related equipment may be interrupted in accordance with the above conditions. The S_AOPD_Out output remains SAFETRUE.

SAFEFALSEThe stop function is requested.
This may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The function block is not active (input Activate = FALSE)
  • or a start-up inhibit is active (setting made with S_StartReset)
  • or the function block has detected an error.

    • Monitoring time set at MaxMutingTime has elapsed
    • or the muting sequence is invalid
    • or the light beam of the safety-related equipment (e.g., light barrier) has been interrupted while muting was not active (S_AOPD_In = SAFEFALSE) and no override operation is active (OverrideActive = FALSE)
    • or the override operation is interrupted by the operator (S_StartStopOverride = SAFEFALSE) and the function block detects an error
    • or the override operation has been automatically exited and the function block detects 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.
