Extended diagnostics
Usage on Flexi Soft
The software for configuring the Flexi Soft safety controller supports advanced diagnos‐
tic options. These options allow you to further isolate the problem if the error situation
is unclear or if there are availability issues. You will find detailed information in the
“Flexi Loop in the Flexi Soft Designer” operating instructions, part no. 8014522.
Usage on the MSTR2 Flexi Loop accessory
The PLC uses service data to read out parameter values or statuses of Flexi Loop
nodes.
The parameter list with all data that can be read and written is available as a separate
document (SICK part number 8017450).
