Safex reset from ctrlX - Ethercat

Hello,

Is it possible to reset a Safex from ctrlX Core via Ethercat? 

Also, I tried with the Start/Reset block and it works with a button:

But I need without physical button. Is it possible via filedbus from ctrlX Core??

 

Thanks!!

Hello joelfernandez ,

It is possible to reset from ctrlX CORE but not directly. What I mean by this is you would have to send a bit from ctrlX CORE via Functional exchange (EtherCAT) to SAFEX. Then link this bit to a SAFEX output that is wired to a SAFEX input defined as Start / Reset like you did with the physical button. 

The other ways to reset are:

  • Press SF40 on SAFEX (typically not convenient since SAFEX is in a closed panel)
  • Use PROFISafe network reset with SAFEX-C.15 uplink ports 

HTH
