Accessing Fault Codes
Fault codes are displayed in the last line of the OBI fault diagnostics
menu (see example at right). Refer to OBI Configuration and Trouble-
shooting sections for more information.
2.5.2 Personal Computer Interface (PCI)
The Safety Controller can also be configured using a Windows®-based computer and the Safety Controller PC Interface (PCI) program.
This user-friendly interface makes use of icons and circuit symbols to simplify the selection of device properties during configuration. The
configuration wiring and ladder logic diagrams develop automatically as the configuration progresses.
Creating a configuration is simple. Once a configuration is created, it::
• Can be stored to a computer file for archiving and future use, or
• Can be emailed to a remote location as an attachment, or
• Can be sent directly to another Safety Controller or to the plug-in external memory card.
The PCI can be used to create a configuration, save it and send it as described above, and also monitor the function of a Controller using
the live display, as well as monitor the fault log for troubleshooting purposes.
To access the Ethernet functionality of the model SC22-3E, click on the Network Settings icon and check the Enable Network Interface
box. The Virtual Status Outputs will appear on the I/O Properties menu, as will additional tabs above the document section of the screen,
as shown in the following figure.
