Function description
The D_GRP is used for signal group monitoring.
Monitoring is carried out cyclically. The activation of the Diagnostics and thereby the distribution of the cycle load can be achieved through the enable signal ED.
An error is reported when the status "1" is present at the signal input IN for longer than the tolerance time DTIME.
NOTE: Do not use diagnostic EFBs in DFBs.
EN and ENO can be configured as additional parameters.

AREA_NR
BYTE
Automation area to be monitored.
This byte specifies which area will be monitored by the diagnostic EFB.
It is advisable to assign the numbers according to the functional modules.
Values: 0 ... 15. The standard value is 0.
Example:
  • Cutting: No. 1
  • Milling: No. 2
  • Thread cutting: No. 3
In the example AREA_NR must have the value 1, 2 or 3, so that they can recognize the error affected area.
OP_CTRL
BOOL
This bit specifies whether a diagnostic event will request a user acknowledgement.
  • 0: no user acknowledgement required
  • 1: user acknowledgement required
The standard value is 0.
