Test stop for motion monitoring is required

What does F01697 mean?

The set time (p9559) for performing the forced checking procedure (test stop) of the extended functions has been exceeded. This indicates a required safety test is overdue, compromising safety integrity if not performed and potentially leading to a fault state.

• The scheduled test stop for Safe Motion monitoring functions (e.g., SSM, SDI) has not been performed within the interval defined by p9559.
• The required test stop procedure was initiated but failed to complete successfully, perhaps due to an external condition.
• Parameter p9559, which defines the test interval, is set too short for the application's operational rhythm or maintenance schedule.
• An external safety PLC or higher-level controller has failed to trigger the required motion monitoring test.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   1. Initiate the forced checking procedure (test stop) for the extended safety functions as per the safety manual (e.g., by activating specific test inputs).

2. 2

   2. Monitor the relevant safety status bits (e.g., r9756) to confirm the successful completion of the motion monitoring test stop.

3. 3

   3. Review parameter p9559 to ensure the test interval is appropriate for the application and maintenance schedule, adjusting it if needed.

4. 4

   4. Verify the external safety circuit or PLC logic responsible for triggering the motion monitoring test stop is functioning correctly.

5. 5

   5. Document the completion of the safety test stop in the maintenance logbook.
