Heartbeat
The absolute encoder supports the slave sign-of-life functionality (
).
Figure 114: Heartbeat
If the heartbeat is set to
on
, then the following symbols and parameters are displayed:
An LED symbol indicates the heartbeat:
Green
Active
Gray
Not active
NOTE
Since the website is updated every second, the change between statuses cannot be
displayed in real time.
The
Aktueller RPI in ms
column shows the RPI.
The update factor can be specified in the
Aktueller Update-Faktor (2 … 127)
field.
The
Aktueller Update-Zyklus in ms
column shows the heartbeat.
