The BMX EIA 0100 module supports AS-Interface safety devices on its bus. The addresses of these devices can be configured by the Control Expert software.
The AS-Interface safety product consists of a Monitor and one or more slaves. The Bus Master sees these devices as standard address slaves, but with a special profile. There is a
Safety Module family on the
Configuration Screen.
I/O Values Not Significant
Input/Output objects from these devices should not be used in a project application as their values are not significant.
The diagnostic information from the Safety Monitor can, however, be utilized by the DFB supplied with this product.
Using Input/Output objects from a safety device in a project application causes the safety device to loose its Safety Monitor function. The safety device can no longer report abnormal situations to the CPU, thus allowing unexpected behavior of the controlled devices that the Safety Monitor function normally detects.
