Safe-state mode
Function of the safe-state mode
If the device does not work as intended, e.g. as a result of errors in the project design
or during commissioning, the execution of the loaded application program can be hal-
ted by activating the safe-state mode. In safe-state mode, essential functions of the
device are deactivated. Only the ETS diagnosis function can be executed, and it is
still possible to program the device.
When safe-state mode is active, the device acts as follows:
–
No group telegrams, physically addressed telegrams or broadcast telegrams
are forwarded (the routing is inactive).
–
The repeater function is inactive (no RF telegrams are repeated).
–
The configuration lock is inactive.
–
The status LED flashes red slowly.
If the device is working exclusively as a repeater (physical address
x.y.1...255), it is only possible to program the application program and read out
device information via the RF side! Thus, the configuration lock is always act-
ive on the TP side. In this case, the lock cannot even be released in safe-state
mode.
