Agent Digital Input Configuration (SCALANCE X414-3E)

Note
Digital inputs and their associated functions are available only on the SCALANCE X414-3E.
Examples of applications for digital inputs
A SCALANCE X414-3E has eight digital inputs that can be used in a wide variety of ways:
● Example 1, monitoring an OLM in process control without I/O
I t is assumed that you have an S7-400 controller without central I/O module, the I/O is
connected optically over PROFIBUS OLM. The signaling contact of the OLM can be
applied to a digital input of the SCALANCE X414-3E and is available for diagnostics.
If the signaling contacts of an existing OLM are applied to the digital inputs of the
SCALANCE X414-3E, the OLM can be monitored without additional components.
● Example 2, door contact
T he door contact of a cabinet is connected with digital inputs of a SCALANCE X414-3E.
By suitably configuring events, it is then possible to monitor any interventions in the
cabinet.
Events for changes and the digital inputs
For each individual digital input, you can specify which event is triggered if there is a status
change at the input (both rising and falling edges). The following options are available:
● The SCALANCE X414-3E sends an E-mail.
● The SCALANCE X414-3E triggers an SNMP trap.
● The SCALANCE X414-3E writes an entry in the log file.
● The SCALANCE X414-3E writes an entry to the Syslog server.
