Chapter 6 Safety Functions
For the Armor PowerFlex drives, the pulse width (X) is typically 500 μs; the
pulse period (Y) is typically 300 ms.
Safety Output Data
The safety output data can be monitored through:
•
Safety input assembly
•
Message Instruction
The following Safety Output data is available:
•
Safety output status
•
Safety output ready
•
Output monitor value
Each safety output point reports its own status, monitor value, and ready
attributes.
Safety Output Status
The safety output status indicates whether an alarm is present in the safety
output point. The safety output status is provided in the safety input assembly,
as shown in
describes the attributes for reading the safety
status via CIP messaging.
Table 50 - Safety Output Specifications
IMPORTANT
To help prevent the test pulse from causing the connected
device to malfunction, pay careful attention to the input
response time of the output device.
