Diag 2 Flash 10

Error in Output Circuit

Beckhoff · EL2904 TwinSAFE Fail-Safe Output Terminal

What does Diag 2 Flash 10 mean?

A general error has been detected in the terminal's output circuit, not necessarily specific to a single output. This can include faulty test pulses (from external supply or cross-circuit), excessive current draw or open load conditions (current below 20 mA or above 500 mA), or general output voltage issues like short-circuits. This impacts the safe and reliable operation of the terminal's digital outputs.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Verify that actuator currents for all connected devices are within the 20 mA to 500 mA limit; select appropriate actuators if necessary.

  2. 4

    Inspect all outputs for short-circuits or excessive voltage drops in supply lines; resolve any short-circuits and ensure proper power supply design.

  3. 5

    Take suitable EMC measures if electromagnetic interference is suspected to be a contributing factor to output circuit errors. If the issue persists, replace the terminal.
