All safety-related parameters (e.g., speed limits, position limits, reaction times) must be correctly configured and validated to ensure the system operates safely. This fault indicates an inconsistency, invalid value, or corruption in these critical parameters, preventing safe operation.

F3141

Selection validation error

An error occurred during the validation of a safety-related selection. This implies a problem when selecting or activating a specific safety function or operating mode (e.g., 'Safe Operating Stop', 'Safely Limited Speed'). The selection could be invalid, inconsistent, or fail a self-test, preventing the desired safety mode from being entered securely.

F3142

Activation time of enabling control exceeded

The activation time for the enabling control signal has been exceeded. The enabling control signal (e.g., Safe Torque Off - STO) is critical for allowing or disallowing motor torque. If it takes too long to activate after being commanded, it indicates a failure in the safety circuit's response time, compromising personnel and machine safety.

F3143

Safety command for clearing errors incorrect
