8.2  Integral System Diagnostics (ISD)

The safety monitoring modules LED display to show the different 
switching conditions and faults. The following tables show the different 
switching conditions.

Tables switching condition indication

Diagnostic LED

System condition

The LED is green.

Enabling paths closed

LED flashes yellow 

(0.5 Hz)

Enabling paths open

LED flashes yellow 

(2 Hz)

Safety guard closed, however no authorised 

operation; possible cause: incorrect operation 

(only one contact was actuated when the 

safety guard was opened) or voltage drop  

or feedback loop not closed → perform 

 

start-up test

Table error indications

Indication  
(orange) LED

Error

Cause

1 impulse

 

Switch

Defective supply 

voltage lead, defective 

switch, erroneous 

fitting of the switch; 

switch only partially ac-

tuated* for at least 5 s

4 impulses

 

Interference signals 

at the inputs (no 

safe evaluation 

assured)

Too high capacitive or 

inductive interference 

at the switch's cables 

or the supply voltage 

lead

5 impulses

One or both relays 

did not close within 

the monitoring time

Too low operating 

voltage U

e; 

Defective relay

6 impulses

 

Relay not disabled 

upon the actuation 

of the switch

May be due to contact 

welding

7 impulses

Dynamic monitoring 

of both channels 

(cross-monitoring) 

failure

Fault in one channel; 

internal data trans-

mission interrupted

*  Partial actuation: position of the switch, in which only one contact was actuated.

Deleting the error message

The error message is deleted once the fault has been rectified and after 
the connected switch has been actuated to check the various functions 
(open and then close the safety guard).
