Monitoring errors

Fundamentals
Monitoring functions that run automatically can be activated and deactivated by parameterisation.
The activation of monitoring functions helps to guarantee the functionality of the machine/system and
to avoid unnecessary idle periods. The deactivation of monitoring functions helps to avoid disturbing
error messages, e.g.:
– During commissioning
– During an emergency off, if the emergency off concept of the machine/system requires that the load
voltage supply for the valves and output modules be switched off. The error messages (e.g. under­
voltage), which are triggered when the load voltage supply is switched off, are often to be sup­
pressed in this case.
Parameterisation
The MSE6-E2M permits the monitoring of various types of fault (e.g. limit monitoring, undervoltage,
etc.). The different monitoring functions can be activated or deactivated globally by system parameters
for the complete MSE6-E2M and by module parameters for a single module or an individual channel.
Activation of a monitoring function causes the following:

Behaviour on activation
An error on the module will be:
– Forwarded to the bus node
– Displayed by the module common error LED
An error registered by the module will be:
– Sent to the higher-order bus master
– Indicated by the red "SF" LED of the bus node
– Entered in the module diagnostic data and, if applicable, in the status bits
– Entered, if applicable, in the diagnostic memory
