Note
The "alive and well" counter is a 3-bit modulo counter at the PP application level. The PP 
application can be monitored using this counter. Failure of the application software does not 
generally result in a communication failure, as this is developed in a hardware-supported 
manner. The watch dog switches off the digital outputs, while the inputs remain at their last set 
values.

Table 11-65 Elimination of error for "alive and well" counter status "2" 
Value 
byte 1
Cause Effect Remedy
1 In the temperature measure‐
ment operating mode, an in‐
put voltage is too high. The 
hardware may become dam‐
aged/destroyed as a result.
The "PNFault" LED is activated.
The outputs are switched off. 
1)
The value 0x80 is stored in status byte 1.
 
It is essential that a Pt100 element is 
connected to terminals 3-4 or 7-8.
The module must be restarted with Pow‐
er ON after the error has been eliminated.
2 Reserved - -
3 Overload at the outputs The "PNFault" LED is activated.
The outputs are switched off. 
1)
The value 0x80 is stored in status byte 1.
Check the loads at the analog output.
The module must be restarted with Pow‐
er ON after the error has been eliminated.
4 Incorrect operating mode se‐
lection, e.g. temperature 
measurement at the analog 
outputs.
Selection of operating mode is rejected, If selected correctly, the module switches 
to cyclic operation.
