Use of contact2 diagnostics function (M1 2 connector)
AdvantysFTM splitter boxes allow the use of sensors and actuators incorporating an
integrated diagnostics function (DESINA type). Configuring contact 2 of each M12
connector as a diagnostic input enables detection of external faults associated with
the sensors or actuators.
This information enables the following faults to be detected:
bdamage to the detection surface,
bfaulty electronics,
bno load.
Selection of either the sensor input or diagnostic input function on contact 2 is made
channel by channel, by entering parameters, when configuring the splitter box.
Fault indication by a red LED is possible for each channel configured as a diagnostic
input.
Example of connection of a sensor with integrated diagnostics function:
Using the M12 diagnostics adaptor accessory FTXDG12, it is possible to monitor
breaks in wiring to sensors or actuators which do not have an integrated diagnostics
function (only applicable to splitter boxes fitted with M12 connectors).
