The GuardLogix architecture provides you with many ways to detect and react
to faults in the system. The first way that you can handle faults is to verify that
you have completed the checklists for your application (see
page
89).
For details on status indicator operation, see the user manual for the controller:

IMPORTANT Status indicators are not reliable indicators for safety functions. Use them
only for general diagnostics during commissioning or troubleshooting. Do
not attempt to use status indicators to determine operational status.
You can view the status of safety tag connections. You can also determine
current operating status by interrogating various device objects. It is your
responsibility to determine what data is most appropriate to initiate a
shutdown sequence.
CONNECTION_STATUS Data
The first member of the tag structure that is associated with safety input data
and produced/consumed safety tag data contains the status of the connection.
This member is a pre-defined data type called CONNECTION_STATUS.
