Output test: This is used to select which test output signals are to be sent to the component
contacts. 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).
Test at start-up: If selected this enables the test at start-up of the external component. This test
is performed by opening the mobile guard or safety gate to run a complete function test and
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 external contacts. The filter can be
configured to between 3 and 250 ms 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.

LOCK FEEDBACK
The function block LOCK FEEDBACK verifies the lock
status of the guard lock device for mobile guard or
safety gate. In the case where the inputs indicate that
the guard is locked the Output will be 1 (TRUE).
Otherwise the output is 0 (FALSE).
Parameters
Input type
- Single NC – Allows connection of components
with one NC contact;
- Double NC – Allows connection of components
with two NC contacts.
- Double NC/NO – Allows connection of
components with one NO contact and one NC.
➔ With inactive input (guard unlocked), connect:
- Contact NO to terminal corresponding to IN1.
- Contact NC to terminal corresponding to IN2.

the filter affects the calculation of the unit's total response time.
With Simultaneity (only with Double_NC or Double NC/NO Input type): If selected this activates the
test to verify concurrent switching of the signals coming from the external contacts.
Simultaneity (ms) (only with Double_NC or Double NC/NO Input type): This is only active if the
previous parameter is enabled. It defines the maximum time (in ms) between the switching of two
different signals from the external contacts.
Enable Error Out: If selected reports a fault detected by the function block.
