3.2 Concepts of the Safety Switch-Off at H41q
In the system descriptions of the safety-related PES H41q-MS, -HS, -HRS the ways for shut-
down if a fault occurs are shown. Depending on the fault location the reactions of the systems
are fixed or they can be defined in the user program.
Parameters are set
– in the resource properties I/O parameter
– by activating of a system variable for emergency shutdown
– via function block H8-STA-3.
An overview of the system variables including the corresponding error code you will find in the
operating system manual.
Reaction to faults of safety related digital I/O modules during operation:
Definition:
Double fault = fault within an output channel and the switch-off electronic part of this testable
output module.
Abbreviations used in the table:
CU Central Module
I/O bus Input/output bus
WD Watchdog signal
