6. Diagnostic
6.1 LED indications
The LED's have the following meaning (to DIN EN 62026-2):
LED green-red
(AS-i Duo LED):
AS-Interface supply voltage /
AS-Interface communication error /
Slave address = 0 /
Periphery error detected /
Enabling inhibit (tamper protection time) active
Yellow LED:
Device status (enabling status) /
hysteresis signal / device error
6.2 Error
Errors, which no longer guarantee the safe functionality of the
RSS260 AS electromagnetic interlock, cause the safety outputs to be
switched off and are signaled through a flashing pattern of the red LED.
(see table 2).
After fault rectification, the error message can be reset by opening and
closing the relevant guard door. The safety outputs of the safety monitor
can be switched back on, thus enabling the machine.
6.3 Diagnostic information

The safety switch signals the operational state as well as errors through three coloured LED’s installed on the device.

6.4 Diagnostic signal periphery error
All error messages of the safety switchgear are also transmitted as a
"periphery error" to the control system through the AS-i master.
A "periphery error" (FID input of the AS-i chip) is signaled by the
alternating red and green flashing of the AS-i duo LED on the AS-i
device.
6.5 Read-out of the parameter port
The parameter port P0 to P3 of an AS-i slave can be read out through
the control interface of the AS-i master (see component description) by
means of the "Write parameter" instruction (with hexadecimal value F).
This (non-safe) diagnostic information from the reflected parameters or
the answer to a "Write parameter instruction" can be used by the user
for diagnostic purposes or for the control programme.
