23.5 Checking the Outputs
The MB 420 and the MB 520 features 8 PLC outputs which serve, for example, to control the
lamps of the buttons.
These outputs are located on the connecting line of the MB control and also on the following
terminal blocks:
With the table for the PLC outputs you can check the condition of the outputs:
8 Call the table with the PLC outputs. --> See “The TABLE function” on page 11 – 119.
8 Establish the conditions for setting the output concerned (keystroke, function call, etc.). Ask
the machine operator.
8 The output must change condition.
You can now find out, e.g., whether a lamp is defective or is not controlled correctly.
