Phoenix Contact · ib il safe 2-eco
What does 5 mean?
This fault signifies a plausibility error in either sensor circuit 1 or 2 (external error), or that internal diagnostics are active (internal error). This state is observed when sensor circuits 1 and 2 are active and the segment circuit is open. Such an error indicates a potential inconsistency in sensor input logic or an internal device issue that could affect safety functions.
Common Causes
- External plausibility error detected in sensor circuit 1 or sensor circuit 2
- Internal diagnostics active, indicating an internal device issue
