enable the output. This test is only requested at machine start-up (when the unit is switched
on).
Filter (ms): This is used to filter the signals coming from the switch. The filter can be
configured to between 3 and 250ms and eliminates any bouncing on the contacts. The
length of the filter affects the calculation of the unit's total response time.
Enable Error Out: If selected reports a fault detected by the function block.
Item description: This allows a description of the component's function to be entered. The
text is displayed in the top part of the symbol.
ENABLING GRIP SWITCH
The ENABLING GRIP functional block checks the status of
the In
x
inputs of an enabling grip. If this is not gripped
(position 1) or is gripped completely (position 3), the
OUTPUT will be 0 (FALSE). If it is gripped to middle position
(position 2), the OUTPUT will be 1 (TRUE).
Refer to truth tables at the bottom of the page.

The ENABLING GRIP functional block requires
that the assigned module has a minimum Firmware
version as Table below:
Parameters
Type of inputs:
- Double NO – Permits connection of an enabling grip
with 2 NO contacts.
- Double NO+1NC – Permits connection of an enabling grip switch with 2 NO
contacts + 1 NC contact.
Test outputs: Permits selection of the test output signals to be sent to the enabling grip.
This additional control permits detection and management of any short-circuits between
the lines. To enable this control, the test output signals must be configured (amongst those
available).
Power-on test: If selected, enables the power-on test of the external component
(Enabling Grip). To run the test, the device must be gripped and released to carry out a
complete functional check and enable the Output terminal. This control is required only at
machine start-up (power-on of the module).
Simultaneity (ms): always active. Determines the maximum permissible time (ms) between
switching of the various signals from the external contacts of the device.
Filter (ms): Permits filtering of signals from the device control. This filter can be set to
between 3 and 250ms and eliminates any rebounds on the contacts. The duration of the
filter affects calculation of module total response time.
