Error at Output 4
Beckhoff · EL2904 TwinSAFE Fail-Safe Output Terminal
What does Diag 2 Flash 4 mean?
An error has occurred specifically at digital output 4. This can be caused by faulty test pulses (due to external supply or cross-circuit), high capacitive coupling from parallel cables, an actuator current outside the 20 mA to 500 mA range, or a short-circuit/voltage drop at the output. If left unresolved, output 4 may not function safely or correctly, potentially affecting the connected safety function.
Complete Troubleshooting Guide
- 1
Eliminate any cross-circuit or external supply detected at output 4.
- 2
If using parallel routed cables, isolate output 4 lines, lay them in separate non-metallic sheathed cables, and create distance to prevent capacitive coupling.
- 3
Ensure the connected actuator's current consumption for output 4 is within the specified range of 20 mA to 500 mA; select an appropriate actuator if necessary.
- 4
Check output 4 for short-circuits or excessive voltage drops in the supply lines; resolve any short-circuits and design the power supply to prevent drops.
- 5
Take suitable EMC measures if electromagnetic interference is suspected to be a contributing factor. If the issue persists, replace the terminal.
