Safety Module Features
Safety Output Fault Recovery
If a fault is detected, the safety outputs are switched off and remain in the off
state. Follow this procedure to activate the safety output data again.
1. Remove the cause of the error.
2. Command the safety output (or safety outputs) into the safe state.
3. Allow the Output Error Latch Time to elapse.
After the steps are completed, the I/O indicator (red) turns off. The
output data can now be controlled.
Fault and Status Reporting
The Compact 5000 I/O safety modules multicast fault and status data with
channel data to the owner and listening controllers. The data is returned via
module tags that you can monitor in your Logix Designer application.
For more information on how to use module tags to monitor fault and status
reporting, see the following:
• 5069-IB8S or 5069-IB8SK module -
• 5069-OBV8S or 5069-OBV8SK module -

TIP
If module outputs experience persistent high faults, consider
cycling power to the module to clear the error.
IMPORTANT
The module can require up to 1 second in addition to the Output Error Latch
Time to complete the recovery.
