Safety Note – Use F_LIM_R for plausibility check of standards to F-data
conversion
The F_BO_FBO, F_I_FI, F_TI_FTI and F_R_FR blocks only carry out data
conversion. This means you must program additional measures for plausibility
checks in the Safety Program, for example using F_LIM_R, to ensure that only
safe operation is possible.
Plausibility Checking
The simplest form of plausibility check is to specify a range with fixed upper and
lower limits, e.g. with the F_LIM_R block. Not all the input parameters can be
checked for plausibility simply enough. These input parameters cannot be
modified during operation.
