After switching on the power supply, the bus alarm can be suppressed for a definable period of
time. The setting depends on the time passing at the bus master between return of voltage and
start of communication via the bus.

SIGMA CONTROL 2 monitors the bus communication at log level (Modbus). If there is a check box
behind
Communication error
, this monitoring in the
Send
mode can be switched off by deactivating
the check box.
In
Send/Receive
or
Master
modes, SIGMA CONTROL 2 can monitor:
Com-Module
the bus com‐
munication at user level. For this purpose, the bus master reads a value ("toggle bit") that changes
with every bus cycle and returns it without change. SIGMA CONTROL 2 returns a bus alarm if the
bit does not change for a time longer than set (
Timeout
). Activate the check box to enable monitor‐
ing.
