Signaling contact
The signaling contact (relay contact) is a floating switch with which error/fault states can be
signaled by breaking the contact.
Error indication
●
The signaling by the signaling contact is synchronized with the fault LED, in other words,
all errors displayed by this LED (freely configurable) are also signaled on the signaling
contact.
●
If an internal fault occurs, the fault LED lights up and the signaling contact opens.
●
The connection or disconnection of a communication node on an unmonitored port does
not lead to an error message.
●
The signaling contact remains activated until the error/fault is eliminated or until the
current status is entered in the fault mask as the new desired status.
