5.3 System monitoring
The system monitoring checks the gateway as well as the connected büS devices using the NAMUR status.
The system monitoring is in Bürkert Communicator at:
Generalsettings>Parameter>Systemmonitoring
The Diagnostics menu option is used to set which type of messages of the büS devices is transferred by
the gateway as the overall status. If all types are set, one message per type appears on the gateway.
For example, if a connected device is in “Maintenance” status, the gateway displays the message “At least
one büS device is in the status: Maintenance”, and the NAMUR LED adopts the status, assuming there are
no errors with a higher priority.
The function is ensured when the following operating conditions are met:
• GatewaycongurationhasbeencreatedwithaCommunicatorversionhigherthan6
• Theproductcataloguehasbeenusedfortheconguration.Inthisprocess,eachdeviceisassigneda
device ID
• For each büS device, the NAMURstatushasbeenaddedtothegatewaycongurationasacyclicalvalue
• The NAMUR status of the individual devices is connected to the gateway
Special features for PROFINET:
The following is set under the menu option
Generalsettings>Systemmonitoring>Singlediagnosticsofthesystemdevices: An error in a con-
nected büS device means that (with “PROFINET alarms active”), an alarm is sent to the corresponding slot
of the NAMUR status.

CAUTION
Malfunctionduetoelectrostaticdischarge.
Electrostatic discharge on the device may cause malfunctions.
►Connect the device to the functional earth.
Dangerduetoelectro-magneticelds.
If the functional earth (FE) is not connected, this represents an infringement of the legal regulations of EMC.
►Connect the device to the functional earth.
▶If the installation surface is not grounded, use an earthing strap or FE line. Connect the earthing strap or
FE line to the earthing point using an M4 screw.
7.2 Electrical connection of the device
RequirementsforULcertieddevices:
▶ConnectdevicesonlywithaULcertied(CYJVorPVVA)cablewithsuitableratings.
▶Maximumpermissibletemperatureofthecableis105°C.
▶Do not lay Ethernet cables used for communication outdoors.
▶Provide galvanic isolation to separate external circuits connected to the ports from main circuits to
protect against insulation breakdown into the communication network.
NOTE
Prerequisiteforthefault-freefunctioningofthedeviceandtoavoidinterferenceissues:
▶Use only shielded cables with a braided or foil shield.
Ensurethedegreeofprotection.
