12.2.1 Analog Input Block
If the Analog Input Block receives an input or simulation value with the status BAD, the Analog
Input Block uses the failsafe mode defined in the FSAFE_TYPE/FSAFE_TYPE

The following options are available by means of the FSAFE_TYPE/FSAFE_TYPE parameter:
• Last Good Value
The last valid value is used for further processing with the status UNCERTAIN.
• Fail SafeValue
The value specified by means of the FSAFE_VALUE/FSAFE_VALUE
1
parameter is used for
further processing with the status UNCERTAIN.
•Wrong Value
The current value is used for further processing with the status BAD.
Factory setting:
• FSAFE_TYPE/FSAFE_TYPE: FsafeValue
• FSAFE_VALUE/FSAFE_VALUE: 0
!
Note!
The failsafe mode is also activated if the "Out of service" option was selected by means of the Block
Mode/MODE_BLK parameter, "Target" element.
