Beckhoff · TwinSAFE Logic FB

What does FB ESTOP Bit 1 mean?

A discrepancy has been detected between the two channels of input group 2 for the FB ESTOP. This indicates that the redundant E-Stop input signals are not in agreement, suggesting a potential failure of one channel, a wiring issue, or an incorrect switching sequence. This will prevent the E-Stop function from operating safely and halt the machine.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Inspect the wiring of E-Stop input group 2, ensuring both channels are correctly connected, free from damage, and properly shielded.

  2. 2

    Verify the functionality of the E-Stop device connected to input group 2, checking both contact sets for reliable operation.

  3. 3

    Review the discrepancy time parameter for E-Stop input group 2 in the FB ESTOP configuration; adjust if the application legitimately has different timing requirements.

  4. 4

    Monitor the individual input channels for group 2 in real-time using diagnostics to identify which channel is deviating or delayed.
