MSTR Status
branch.
✓
The
Flexi Loop communication status
branch indicates the status of the communica‐
tion in the safe sensor cascade.
°
The value is 0 if the safe sensor cascade communication is interrupted.
°
The value is 1 or 2 if the safe sensor cascade communication is initialized.
°
The value is 3 or 4 if the communication in the safe sensor cascade is run‐
ning.
°
The value is 6 if the safe sensor cascade is not terminated (missing termina‐
tor, open safe sensor cascade).
°
The value is 7 if there is a configuration error (e.g. incorrect number of nodes)
in the safe sensor cascade.
✓
The
Total node count
branch indicates the number of Flexi Loop nodes.
✓
The
Safety controller status
branch indicates whether the signal from the safety con‐
troller is detected.
°
The value is 0 if there is no supply voltage on FC_IN.
°
The value is 1 if a safety controller has not been found on FC_IN.
°
The value is 2 if a safety controller has been found on FC_IN and the compat‐
ibility test is in progress.
°
The value is 3 if a compatible safety controller has been found on FC_IN and
the safe sensor cascade is operational.
✓
The
MSTR voltage
branch indicates the voltage on FC_IN.
