t is possible to switch between the monitoring cases of the S3000 during operation. There
are various ways of achieving this switching:
 static control inputs on the S3000 Advanced, Professional and Expert
– locally on the S3000
– externally via EFI (e.g. using a Flexi Soft safety controller)
 dynamic control inputs for the connection of incremental encoders on the S3000
Professional and Expert
– locally on the S3000
– externally via EFI (e.g. using another S3000)
 static and dynamic control inputs for the connection of incremental encoders on the
S3000 Expert and Remote
– externally via EFI (e.g. using another S3000)
Standalone operation
In standalone operation of an S3000 use the local inputs of the S3000.
The S3000 Advanced has two dual-channel static control inputs.
The S3000 Professional and the S3000 Expert have four dual-channel control inputs. Of
these four control inputs, two are static (A and B), the other two (C and D) can be used as
both static control inputs and also dynamic control inputs.
Activate the inputs you want to use for monitoring case switching.
If you activate the Use velocity option, you can use velocity ranges for monitoring case
switching.
EFI system
If devices are connected together via EFI, the S3000 can receive control commands from
other devices, e.g. a second S3000 or Flexi Soft safety controller. Tab. 43 on page 158
shows the possible control commands of the S3000.
In an EFI system you configure which device you want to use for obtaining the input
information.
If the S3000 is connected to a Flexi Soft safety controller, up to five dual-channel control
inputs can be configured.
