Diagnostic events
12.3.1

Faults that are detected by the device' s self-monitoring system are displayed as a
diagnostic message via IO-Link.
Solution
Apply correct voltage.
Correct the polarity.
Check for electrical contact
between cables and correct.
Check wiring and cables.
Correct errors that are dis-
played as a diagnostic event.
Corrective action
Check plug, cable and power supply.
• Clear the short-circuit.
• Reduce maximum load current to below 200 mA if
one switch output is active.
• Maximum load current = 105 mA per output if both
switch outputs are active.
Operate measuring device in specified temperature
range.
Repeat function test.
Replace device.
