C.3.2

Signal status in the event of a fault (Fail safe)

Fundamentals

With the aid of the so−called fail−safe parametrisation, the
signal status which the outputs are to assume in the event of
fieldbus communication faults, can be determined (fail−safe
status). In this way, a defined machine/system status should
be created in the event of fieldbus communication faults (e.g.
failure of the higher−order PLC/IPC).

Warning
Depending on the functions of the machine/system, the
manipulation of signal states can lead to serious personal
injury or material damage.

Use the Fail−safe parametrisation very carefully, in order to
avoid damage.

CPX parametrisation

With CPX terminals, fail−safe parametrisation can be used for:

ć

Digital outputs

ć

Analogue outputs

ć

Valves

By means of the system parameter fail−safe, you can globally
determine the signal status which the outputs/valves are to
assume in the event of fieldbus communication faults, e.g. in
the event of:

ć

Communication failure (fieldbus interruption, PLC failure)

ć

Communication stop
