S_MutingActive output

Output for the status of the muting operation.

Data type: SAFEBOOL

Connection: Connect the S_MutingActive output to an output terminal of your application (for a muting lamp, for example), either directly or via other safety-related functions/function blocks.

The signal (S_MutingActive) may only control the process directly if this does not adversely affect the safety-related function.

 WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

  • Verify that the S_MutingActive 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.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Value

Description

SAFETRUE

This indicates that muting is active. The following conditions must be met.

NOTE:

If muting is active (S_MutingActive = SAFETRUE), the light beam of the safety-related equipment may be interrupted. The S_AOPD_Out output remains SAFETRUE.

SAFEFALSE

Muting is not active. This may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Muting has not been activated by the muting sensors

  • or the function block is not activated (input Activate = FALSE)

  • or the function block has detected an error.

    • The muting lamp is non-functional (S_MutingLamp = SAFEFALSE)

    • or the monitoring time set at MaxMutingTime has elapsed

NOTE:

If muting is not active, an interruption of the light beam of the safety-related equipment will cause the S_AOPD_Out output to be switched to the defined safe state (SAFEFALSE).
