Status device function

Ok/Defect

1.005 alarm

CRT

Function:

This object regularly transmits the value “0” when the device is functioning. If the device no longer transmits cyclically, this indicates a device failure.

A higher-level system can monitor the cyclic sending and trigger a warning or alarm message if the status message is not transmitted.

The parameter “Send status of device function inverted” can be used to set that this value is inverted. In this case, the value “1” is transmitted cyclically when the device is functioning properly.

Note:

Transmission first takes place after the time configured in the “Cyclical transmission period” parameter.

Availability:

The "Status device function” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Cyclical transmission of device function (0 = in operation)” on the "device settings” parameter card
