7.3 Planning/configuring
7.3.1 Modes
The central unit always differentiates between three operating modes:
● Configuring mode
● Test mode
● Safety mode
Configuring mode (DEVICE LED: yellow)
The monitoring functions are not active in configuring mode. No signals are output at the
terminals. In configuring mode, you can modify existing parameters. To do so, you create a
configuration in the PC/PG with MSS ES and download this to the central unit. It is also
possible to upload and edit a configuration available in the central unit.
LED display The central unit changes to configuring mode when:
DEVICE SF
No application is installed in the device. yellow off
An application that has not been released is installed in the device. yellow off
An application that is incorrect is installed in the device. yellow red
A configuration error was identified in test mode. yellow red
The connection is interrupted in test mode. yellow red
A Category 1 error occurs in safety or test mode
(only diagnosis and reset possible; see Error management (Page 235))
Flashing red red
Test mode (DEVICE LED: green, flickering)
Test mode can only be accessed from configuring mode via a password-protected
command. You can switch to test mode even if the configuration has not been released.
The user program is processed in test mode. All monitoring functions are active in
accordance with the set parameterization. Logical outputs of functions can be set (see
Forcing (Page 217)). This makes it easier to carry out troubleshooting in the application and
check the wiring.
