Tab.4/5: Status LED (display group) short circuit/overload
Reaction to short circuit in the sensor supply
If there is a short circuit, the input module will switch off the
power supply to the sensors and communicate the fault to
the CPI/CP master. The status LEDs will be switched off and
the inputs of the module supply a 0−signal. After the short
circuit or overload has been eliminated, the module must be
separated from the supply voltage in order to reset the short
circuit/overload.
