Example 1: diagnostics conceptPermalink

This is the web edition of the original ‎⮫ AC500-S safety user manual, version 1.3.2. This web edition is provided for quick reference only. The original safety user manual must be used to meet functional safety application requirements.

This example shows the usage of the diagnostic concept, with a daisy chain from the FB parameters Activate and Ready (with perhaps a pre-evaluation of hardware errors). Other examples will not show the diagnostic connections.

The safety functionality is to stop a drive in accordance with stop category 1 of IEC 60204-1 initiated by an emergency stop or by interrupting the light curtain. The equivalent monitoring of the 2 connectors of the emergency stop switch is done in the safety application.

In this example, both options of input evaluation are shown:

  • via intelligent safety input

  • via the equivalent function block
