Requirements
Only use "override" mode in delimited plant units that are secured by additional protective
measures.
Entering and leaving the protected area must be monitored by the F-CPU.
The operator must be able to fully see the area for which "override" mode applies. The
danger location must be visible from every point of the override area.
When using the "override" mode you must install a switch within an effective range that is
independent of the HMI device. The operator activates "override" mode with this switch.
Inadmissible activation of the "override" mode
The operator has to activate "override" mode through a conscious operator action, e.g. by
activating a switch. The "override" mode should not be automatically activated, e.g. when
the safety area is entered.
The application program in conjunction with F-FB must ensure that the "override" mode is
revoked when the area is left.

you can integrate them in your safety concept with the "override" mode. Thus you achieve
a consistent concept for safe plant operation.
