8.3.6 Normally open with error signal
Application
If there is an error message on the CFP Cubic, this can be output using a switching
output.
Configuration
Configure the Qx switching output as normally open for error signals (using Q1 as an
example).
Note:
The switching output designation (Q1 in the example here) changes according to the
selected process variable to be output: Q1-LVL or Q1-TEMP is now Q1-STA.
1. Log in to Exprt mode, see “8.2.2 Exprt mode”.
2. Configure Q1 as output.
• Set the parameter to OUTPUT in the Q1-### / MODE1 menu.
3. Configure the process variable to be output.
• Set the parameter to STATUS in the Q1-### / PROC1 menu.
4. Set the status to be output in the Q1-STA / STAT1 menu.
• Set the parameter to FAILURE in the Q1-STA / STAT1 menu.
5. Configure the Q1 switching output as normally open.
• Set the parameter to NO (normally open) in the Q1-STA / POL1 menu.
6. Select the electrical property (NPN/PNP/DRV [push/pull]).
Select the parameter in the Q1-TYP1 menu.
The following rules apply:
• PNP = Switching output in PNP circuit
• NPN = Switching output in NPN circuit
• DRV = Switching output in push/pull function
8.3.7 Switching output as input for processing external signals
Application
Switching outputs can also be used as inputs for the CFP Cubic. This enables you to
integrate external signals (e.g., from a tuning fork). In this way, the CFP Cubic can be
used as a mini PLC and reduces the number of cables to the PLC.
