FB MUTING Bit 1

Muting Discrepancy Error - OSSD Input Group

Beckhoff · TwinSAFE Logic FB

What does FB MUTING Bit 1 mean?

A discrepancy has been detected in the OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) input group (e.g., OssdIn1/OssdIn2) within the FB MUTING function block. These inputs typically come from a safety light curtain or area scanner. A discrepancy means the redundant OSSD signals are not synchronized, indicating a fault in the safety device or its wiring, compromising the primary safeguarding function and stopping the machine.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Check the alignment, cleanliness, and functionality of the OSSD device (e.g., safety light curtain, area scanner) for proper operation.

  2. 2

    Inspect the wiring from the OSSD device to the TwinSAFE inputs, ensuring both OSSD channels are correctly connected, free from damage, and properly terminated.

  3. 3

    Review the discrepancy time parameter for the OSSD input group in the FB MUTING configuration; adjust if needed based on the OSSD device specifications.

  4. 4

    Monitor the individual OSSD channels during operation using diagnostics to identify inconsistencies or delays.
