Status Input diagnostics
If the encoder has an error signal or status output, this can be connected to the "Status Input" input of the terminal and evaluated. The input is 5 V compatible.
The error signal or status output at the encoder is usually implemented with negative logic. This is indicated by the terminal as follows:
Encoder  | EL5131  | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Alarm output  | Status Input   | Status Input LED  | Meaning  | 
HIGH level / output open  | TRUE  | Off  | e.g. encoder OK  | 
LOW level / PullDown - level is actively pulled down to LOW  | FALSE  | Red  | e.g. encoder faulty  | 
If an overvoltage is present at the Status Input, it is displayed as follows:
Fault diagnosis in case of overvoltage at the Status Input  | Display  | 
|---|---|
DiagMessage, type "Error", text ID 0x8315  | Error status input (channel n)  | 
0xA0n0:05 "Error input status"  | TRUE  | 
LED: Status Input Ch. n  | Red  |
