Alarm unit
Function
The alarm unit triggers fault messages and alarms using binary outputs. The message
function is based on the change in the signal status:
● If the signal status is "HIGH", there is no alarm message and the binary inputs are
● If the signal status is "LOW", the module reports an alarm by shutting down binary
● Thanks to the dynamic control, this module can report the arising operational faults
Apart from binary outputs, the alarm unit has a double-acting binary input BE2. Depending
on the selected parameters, it is used to block the actuator or to move it to its end position.
Configure the suitable settings on parameter 43.
Device features
The alarm unit has the following features:
● Available in two versions.
● Three binary outputs. Binary inputs are potentially separated from the standard controller
● The binary input has dual functionality. Both inputs are implemented as logical OR
