This command changes the parameter mode. Various commands (defined via STD/EXP) are blanked out in
standard mode. The several commands in expert mode have more significant influence on the system perfor-
mance. Therefore they should be changed with care.

This co
mmand is used to activate/deactivate the monitoring functions (4… 20 mA sensors, output current, sig-
nal range and internal failures) of the module.
ON:
All monitoring functions are active. Detected failures can be reset by deactivating the ENABLE input.
This mode should be used in case of active enabling and monitoring by a PLC (READY signal).
OFF:
No monitoring function is active.
AUTO:
Auto reset mode. All monitoring functions are active. If the failure does not exist anymore, the mod-
ule automatically resumes to work.
Normally the monitoring functions are always active because otherwise no errors are detectable via
the READY output. Deactivating is possible especially for troubleshooting.
AUTO MODE: The module checks each second the actual failure status, which will (in case of a per-
sistent error) trigger the LED and the READY output for a short time.
