84  Compact Operating Instructions, 12/2010, A5E00813159-11 
The connection or disconnection of a communication node on an unmonitored port does not 
lead to an error message. 
The signaling contact remains activated until the error/fault is eliminated or until the current 
status is applied as the new desired status using the button.  
When the IE Switch X-200 is turned off, the signaling contact is always activated (open).

installed. The grounding cable is not supplied with the device. Connect the paint-free surface 
of the device to the nearest grounding point using the grounding cable.
