Offline phase

In the offline phase all input and output data is reset. This phase is entered after
the startup of the master, after a

⇒

AS-i power fail, and during the transition from

the

⇒

configuration mode to the

⇒

protected mode.

Furthermore, the master can actively be transfered into the offline phase by set-
ting the offline flag.

During the offline phase, masters with a LED display show code "40".

Password

Security code for a (security) configuration, is required for releasing a configura-
tion or activating a changed configuration. The password is a string of 4 … 8 al-
phanumeric characters. It is stored in the configuration.

Peripheral fault

A peripheral fault is indicated by a red flashing LED on the master and on the
slave.

Depending on the slave type this indicates an overflow, an overload of the sen-
sor's power supply, or another fault regarding the periphery of the slave.

PIN

A security code is required for teaching code sequences. The PIN is a 4-digit dec-
imal number.

The PIN does not authorize for activating a safety configuration.

The PIN is stored in the EEPROM of the unprotected device section as well as in
the unprotected area of the chip card, and is therefore sent to a new device when
the chip card is replaced. When resetting to factory defaults, the PIN is set to
0000.

Permanent configuration

The configuration data of all expected slaves stored in the master (

⇒

slave pro-

file). If the

⇒

permanent configuration differs from the

⇒

actual configuration, a

configuration error exists.

Permanent parameter

The parameters saved in the master and sent to the slave after startup of the
master during the

⇒

activation phase.

Configuration mode

During the configuration mode the master exchanges data with all connected
slaves, no matter which of the slaves were configured. Thus, in this mode it is
possible to operate a system without the necessity to configure it before.
