4.10.2 Behavior of the SM 421; DI 16 24 VDC

Effect of Operating Mode and Supply Voltage on the Input Values

The input values of the SM 421; DI 16 24 DC depend on the operating mode of
the CPU and on the supply voltage of the module.
Table 4-14 How the Input Values Depend on the Operating Mode of the CPU and on the
Supply Voltage L+ of the SM 421; DI 16 24 VDC
CPU Operating Mode Power Supply L+

*Depends on the parameter assignment (see Table 4-13 )

Behavior upon Failure of the Supply Voltage

Failure of the supply voltage of the SM 421; DI 16 24 DC is always indicated by
the EXTF LED on the module. Furthermore, this information is made available on
the module (entry in diagnosis).
Triggering of the diagnostic interrupt depends on the parameter assignment
(see Section 4.9.1).

Short-Circuit of Sensor Supply Vs

Irrespective of the parameter assignment, the corresponding Vs LED goes out if a
short-circuit of the encoder supply Vs occurs.
