6.3.2 Status indication of the state machine
The Status window (i.e. the window that is permanently displayed in the online mode) has
been extended by the status indication of the state machine . It shows the status of the
functional safety in the firmware of the SE-Power FS basic unit, see Figure 9.
This is not the status indication of the SE-Power FS Safety Module STO itself. Here, the
status of the state machine within the SE-Power FS resulting from the evaluation of the driver
supply voltages by the SE-Power FS Safety Module STO is displayed. Independently of the
display the power end stage of the SE-Power FS may be already safely switched off by the
Functional SE-Power FS Safety Module STO, see also
Section 6.3.3.3 Status-LEDs.
In addition, the status of the internal state machine is indicated in the window Safety
module ; see Section 6.3.3
Window “Safety module”
.
