Unplugging the connecting cable 
 
●  A project is running on the Mobile Panel. 
●  For a PROFIsafe-based F-system: 
The Mobile Panel is logged on to the F-CPU via the safety program. 
Procedure 
PROFIsafe-based F-system 
 
In a PROFIsafe-based F-system, logoff from the safety program is required before 
unplugging the connecting cable. 
If you unplug the connecting cable without logoff, the plant will switch to a safe operating 
state. 
1.  If you want to switch the Mobile Panel to another connection box, close the fail-safe 
communication via the corresponding operator control. 
If you want to shut down and switch off the Mobile Panel, close the currently active 
project. 
2.  Confirm the logoff in the corresponding dialog. 
The Mobile Panel is logged off the safety program. PROFIsafe communication stops after 
a successful logoff. 
3.  When the emergency stop button no longer lights up, unplug the connecting cable. 
 
Connection box compact and connection box standard 
When unplugging the connecting cable from the connection box compact or a connection 
box standard, there is no automatic bypass of the emergency stop / stop circuit. Without 
further actions, an emergency stop or stop is triggered in the plant and the plant switches to 
a safe state. 
Take appropriate circuitry measures to prevent an undesired emergency stop or stop of the 
plant.  
1.  Unplug the connecting cable. 
The emergency stop button is no longer active and no longer lights up.
