S_StartReset SAFE-
BOOL
TRUE or
FALSE
FALSE Controls automatic and manual resetting at startup
(i.e., when program execution is started).
You can input a variable or a constant.
FALSE (default): Perform resetting manually when
the Safety CPU Unit is started.
TRUE: Resetting is performed automatically when the
Safety CPU Unit is started.
Use automatic resetting only when you can verify that
no hazard of any sort will result from automatically
resetting the Safety CPU Unit.
S_AutoReset SAFE-
BOOL
TRUE or
FALSE
FALSE Controls automatic and manual resetting for the oper-
ation of an emergency stop button.
You can input a variable or a constant.
FALSE (default): Perform resetting manually when
the emergency stop button is released.
TRUE: Resetting is performed automatically when the
emergency stop button is released.
Use automatic resetting only when you can verify that
no hazard of any sort will result from automatically
resetting the Safety CPU Unit.
Reset BOOL TRUE or
FALSE
FALSE The reset input.
Input a variable.
This parameter is used for different purposes for dif-
ferent FBs.
• You can use it to reset the function block status and
release the relationship between the error and code
that is returned in DiagCode after the cause of the
error is removed.
• You can use it for a manual reset with an operator
restart interlock. The reset processing must be
designed to reset the FB.
• You can use it for other FB-specific resets.
Resetting is effective only when the signal changes
from FALSE to TRUE. Resetting is not performed
unless the change from FALSE to TRUE is detected.
Some FBs detect this as an instruction execution
error. This is described in Instruction Execution Errors
under Function for the relevant FB. You must connect
a SAFEBOOL variable (not a BOOL variable)
depending on safety requirements.

Standard Functions

Execution Control Instructions

Details instructions for controlling program execution flow.

Data Type Conversion Instructions

Explains instructions for converting data types between different formats.

Boolean Operation Instructions

Describes instructions for performing logical Boolean operations.

Math Instructions

Details instructions for arithmetic operations on integers and durations.

Comparison Instructions

Instructions for comparing values of variables.

Selection Instructions

Instructions for selecting values based on conditions.

Safety Standard Function Blocks

Safety Standard Function Block Instructions

Lists and describes safety standard function block instructions.

SF_CTD

Decrements the counter value when the counter input signal is received.

SF_CTU

Increments the counter value when the counter input signal is received.

SF_CTUD

Creates an up-down counter operating on up and down counter inputs.

SF_F_TRIG

Outputs TRUE for one task period when the input signal changes to FALSE.

SF_R_TRIG

Outputs TRUE for one task period when the input signal changes to TRUE.

SF_RS

Retains the value of a SAFEBOOL variable, giving priority to Reset.

SF_SR

Retains the value of a SAFEBOOL variable, giving priority to Set.

SF_TOF

Outputs FALSE when the set time elapses after the timer starts.

SF_TON

Outputs TRUE when the set time elapses after the timer starts.

SF_TP

Outputs TRUE during the set time after the timer starts.

Safety Function Blocks

General Rules for Safety Function Blocks

Provides general rules for safety function blocks, including rules specific to FBs.

Safety Function Block Instructions

Lists and describes various safety function blocks.

SF_Antivalent

Monitors discrepancy time for two antivalent SAFEBOOL inputs.

SF_EDM

Controls a safety output and monitors actuator control.

SF_EmergencyStop

Monitors the input from an emergency stop button.

SF_EnableSwitch

Supports stopping a safety function using an enable switch.

SF_Equivalent

Monitors discrepancy time for two equivalent SAFEBOOL inputs.

SF_ESPE

Monitors electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE).

SF_GuardLocking

Controls entry to hazardous areas with a four-state interlock guard.

SF_GuardMonitoring

Monitors safety guards and opens/closes them.

SF_ModeSelector

Selects system operation mode (automatic, manual, etc.).

SF_MutingPar

Performs parallel muting with four muting sensors.

SF_MutingPar_2Sensor

Performs parallel muting with two muting sensors.

SF_MutingSeq

Performs sequential muting with four muting sensors.

SF_OutControl

Controls a safety output with control and safety signals.

SF_SafetyRequest

Makes requests for safe state and monitors actuator safety state.

SF_TestableSafetySensor
