The plant designer assigns appropriate values when setting up the plant. After attaching the
Data Matrix code tape, the plant designer determines the corresponding expected values at the
positions relevant for the application. The values determined in this way are incorporated into
the safety-related application and then their plausibility can be assessed during the operation
of the plant using the data from the sensor. Depending on the result, the application responds
to ensure the safe operation of the plant.
For the safety function, the reader provides the following safety-related data:
The reader provides you with the following non-safety-related data:
The valid bit in safe status reflects the state of the safe position data. For processing of the
position data in the application, the state of the valid bit must be evaluated in terms of safety.
Depending on the state of the valid bit, the plant control software performs further processing.
The corresponding actions are triggered, to continue to ensure the safe state of the plant. The
response to the respective state is determined by the application and can only be displayed
here by way of example.
Valid bit = "logic 1": a valid position value is delivered in the safe X position data. This can be
used for further processing in the safety-related plant control software, where it is checked
against the expected values of the application for plausibility. The application responds,
depending on the result.
Valid bit = "logic 0": The device is unable to determine a position at this time. The content of the
safe X position data is "0." This state can be triggered by the following scenarios:
■Data Matrix code tape is missing
■Data Matrix code tape is not readable
■Reader is outside the sensing range
■Lens is dirty
■Reader is in the initialization phase
It is the task of the plant control software of the respective customer to evaluate and check the
plausibility of this state in each case. The result of this evaluation and the application determine
the steps necessary to ensure the safety of the plant.
When planning and setting up the plant control software, the evaluation of the valid bit must be
considered and incorporated in terms of safety.
The described state is not to be confused with the safe state of the positioning device.
