Rack or station failure OB
The "Rack or station failure" OB executes when the CPU detects the failure or
communication loss of a distributed rack or station.
Rack or station failure event
The CPU generates a rack or station failure event when it detects one of the following:
● The failure of a DP master system or of a PROFINET IO system (in the case of either an
incoming or an outgoing event).
● The failure of a DP slave or of an IO device (in the case of either an incoming or an
outgoing event)
● Failure of some of the submodules of a PROFINET I-device
If you have not programmed this OB, the CPU remains in RUN mode when any of these
conditions occur.
