Overview
If you use an unconfigured device to extend a cascade or to replace a (defective) device
in a cascade, the unconfigured device adopts the configuration for the restart interlock
and external device monitoring from the existing devices.
Approach
1.
Install and wire the device.
2.
Set the DIP switches for the beam coding on the receiver of the host system.
3.
Switch on the voltage supply.
✓
The device is in configuration mode, the field indicator flashes green.
4.
If the restart interlock or external device monitoring was configured for at least one
existing device, the configuration is adopted.
5.
Wait until all receivers indicate the correct cascade configuration. In a cascade,
diagnostic LED 2 flashes.
6.
