Error messages
Safety CPU error messages are aggregated together with other communication module error messages in the non-safety CPU. All error messages can be observed on the non-safety CPU. In addition, error messages of the safety CPU can be observed on the safety CPU itself.

NOTICE

The error messages of not only the safety CPU but also of safety I/O modules are visualized on non-safety CPU display.
No error message overflow on the safety CPU is possible. The maximum number of entries in the safety CPU diagnosis system is 100. If all 100 entries in the diagnosis system are occupied, the newest entry overwrites the oldest one.
After a power cycle of the safety CPU, error messages are deleted from the safety CPU diagnosis system.
