5.1.2.3 GUARD-MONITORING function block (1CH; device for movable guards)
The GUARD-MONITORING (1CH) function block monitors the status of the “I
N” input of a
movable guard (e.g., safety door). When the movable guard is open, the “O
UT” output is
logic “0”. Otherwise, the output is logic “1”.

Parameters
Manual Reset If this option is selected, a reset must be performed manually every time the function block
is activated. Otherwise, the activation of the output directly follows the state of the inputs.
Reset Type There are two types of reset: “Manual” or “Monitored”. If the “Manual” option is selected, only
the signal transition from “0” to “1” is checked. In the case of the “Monitored” option, the dou-
ble transition from “0” to “1” and back to “0” is checked.

Output Test Enables the selection of clock signals that are to be connected to the switches of movable
guards. These additional diagnostics enable the detection of short circuits and cross-cir-
cuits between the cables. To activate these diagnostics, the clock signals must be config-
ured in the “Property” window of the relevant function block.
NOTE:
Inputs at a function block must always be used in ascending order.
Example: Input 1 and Input 2 are used for the function block, so Input 3 must be used for
the reset input.
