Diagnostics and error handling

Overview
The CPX terminal offers extensive options for diagnostics and error handling. The input module
supports the following diagnostic and error handling facilities:

Tab. 33: Diagnostics options
Reported errors can be evaluated depending on the bus protocol used. The errors are indicated on-site
via the error LEDs and, if necessary, can be evaluated with the operator unit.
Information about the diagnostic options on the complete CPX terminal and/or all modules can be
found in the CPX system description and/or in the description of the bus node.
NOTICE
Ensure that the diagnostic messages cannot be evaluated for safety-related measures.
6.2
Error characteristics
The input module distinguishes between types of error and responds accordingly with:
–
Channel passivation if a failure can be allocated to precisely that channel (e.g. with detection of
shorts across contacts).
–
Module passivation if the error that occurs cannot be allocated precisely to one channel and a
component defect is not detected (e.g. communication failure with PROFIsafe).
