Safety POU

Name of the POU in the device tree

Activation

A deactivated group is permanently activated. After activating the group, the associated POU is stopped. To start it, its RUN signal must be set next from 0 to 1.

Permanent deactivation

The group is permanently deactivated. The substitute values for the outputs of the corresponding POU are set.

See: Displaying Substitute Values after Deactivation

Temporary deactivation

The group is deactivated one time until the next time the EtherCAT SafetyModule is switched on and is then automatically reactivated. During deactivation, the substitute values for the outputs of the POU are set.

Passivation

Passivation: A group with exactly one FSoE Module is deactivated when the connected device has been disconnected from the installation. After deactivation by online command, the connection defined in the group must report a COM error within the Timeout Passivation time (default value 10 seconds). If the device is still present after the Timeout Passivation so that no COM error is reported, then a group error is set and a corresponding diagnostic message is generated.
