FB TWOHAND Bit 8

Two-Hand Discrepancy Error - Pair 1 (Safe Inputs Active)

Beckhoff · TwinSAFE Logic FB

What does FB TWOHAND Bit 8 mean?

Similar to 'FB TWOHAND Bit 0', but specifically when the 'Safe Inputs after Disc Error' option is active for input pair 1. This means a discrepancy occurred, and although the FB is attempting to maintain a safe state for the inputs, the error persists, indicating a critical issue with the input pair that requires immediate attention and prevents operation.

Common Causes

  • Wiring short-circuit or open-circuit on channel 1 or 2 of input pair 1 (e.g., terminals X4.1, X4.2).
  • Degraded or faulty contacts within the two-hand control button for input pair 1.
  • Intermittent power supply to the input pair 1 buttons, causing erratic signal detection.
  • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) causing transient false signals on input pair 1's wiring.
  • Safety input module hardware fault affecting the reading of input pair 1 signals.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    1. Power down the safety system, then perform a continuity test on the wiring from the two-hand buttons of input pair 1 to their respective safety input terminals (e.g., X4.1, X4.2).

  2. 2

    2. With power restored, actuate the buttons for input pair 1 and monitor the diagnostic LEDs for consistent switching on the safety module.

  3. 3

    3. Measure the 24VDC supply voltage at the two-hand buttons for input pair 1, ensuring it remains stable at 24VDC +/-10%.

  4. 4

    4. Replace the two-hand button assembly for input pair 1 if it exhibits inconsistent contact closure or release during repeated actuation.

  5. 5

    5. Initiate a safety reset sequence (e.g., via a dedicated reset button or HMI command) after clearing the root cause to re-enable the FB TWOHAND function.
