ESCRIPTION

Failsafe values are output values which become valid as output data in the event of disrupted
communication (watchdog comes into effect) or of a PLC stop. Depending on the application, different
values may be appropriate: You have a choice between:

holding the last value

issuing a zero

adopting value from the data field

If you choose "Adopt value from data field", the freely selectable substitute values is adopted within the
data range, for digital output you have a choice between 0 and 1.

For an analogue module between FIXME:

–32512 and 32512 (bipolar) or 0 and 32512 (unipolar). These values are converted into a current or voltage
value according to the module and the data range being used.
