Note: If the device is a normal ring member and not a ring manager, it 
doesn't report anything for the HIPER-Ring; for the Fast HIPER-Ring 
and for MRP it only reports local configuration problems.
X The elimination of the reserve redundancy for the ring/network coupling 
(i.e. the redundancy function did actually switch on). Select “Monitor” for 
the ring/network coupling if the signal contact is to report the elimination 
of the reserve redundancy for the ring/network coupling (see on page 176 
“Preparing a Ring/Network coupling“).  
Default setting: no monitoring.
Note:  In two-Switch coupling, both Switches must have found their 
respective partners.
9.8.3 Device status
 Select the tab page “Alarm 1” or “Alarm 2” (for devices with two signal 
contacts).
 In the “Mode Signal Contact” field, you select the “Device status” mode. 
In this mode, the signal contact monitors the device status (see on 
page 254 “Device Status“) and thereby offers remote diagnosis.  
The device status “Error detected” (see on page 254 “Device Status“) is 
reported by means of a break in the contact via the potential-free signal 
contact (relay contact, closed circuit).
9.8.4 Configuring traps
 Select generate Trap, if the device is to create a trap as soon as the 
position of a signal contact changes when function monitoring is active.
