The process interface has an integrated fail-safe mode. This allows to control conditions like interruption of
cables, shut-down of the software etc. and to give out these conditions as an alarm.

The failsafe function can be activated in the tab Device (PIF) under FS. The industrial PIF has a separate
failsafe relay.
Alternatively you can activate this function also on the analog out-
puts. The checkbox Stop fail-safe pulse on alarm must be
activated, if the analog output should be used in addition as an alarm
output for a temperature alarm. In case of an alarm the alternating
fail-safe pulse signal will stop and the set voltage level will be given
out as constant value (Industrial PIF only).
