FB MUTING Bit 7

Maximum Muting Time Exceeded

Beckhoff · TwinSAFE Logic FB

What does FB MUTING Bit 7 mean?

The maximum allowed duration for the muting function has been exceeded. This indicates that an object has remained in the muting zone for longer than permitted, or the 'MaxMutingTime' parameter is set too short for the process. This fault ensures that muting is not active indefinitely, which would compromise safety and results in a safety shutdown.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Ensure muting sensors are functioning correctly and reliably detecting the presence/absence of objects.

  2. 4

    Check for any external conditions or interlocks that might be inadvertently prolonging the muting state.
