[RQ7.14] Figure 18 shows a simplified representation of the state diagram of the SafetyConsumer. The exact behaviour is described in Table 33, Table 34, and Table 35. The SafetyConsumer shall implement this behaviour. It is not required to literally follow the entries given in the tables, if the externally observable behaviour does not change.

To avoid unnecessary spurious trips requiring operator acknowledgment, it is recommended that a SafetyConsumer is started after an OPC UA connection to a running SafetyProvider has been established, or that the setting of input SAPI.Enable to “1” is delayed until the SafetyProvider is running.

Timers

ConsumerTimer

Timer

This timer is used to check whether the next valid ResponseSPDU has arrived on time. It is initialized using the parameter SPI.SafetyConsumerTimeout.

NOTE As opposed to other parameters, a modification of the parameter value SafetyConsumerTimeout takes effect immediately, i.e. not only when state S11 is visited, see RQ7.26.

ErrorIntervalTimer

Timer

This timer is used to check the elapsed time between errors. If the elapsed time between two consecutive errors is smaller than the value SafetyErrorIntervalLimit, FSV will be activated. Otherwise, the ResponseSPDU is discarded and the SafetyConsumer waits for the next ResponseSPDU.

This timer is initialized using the local variable SPI_SafetyErrorIntervalLimit_i.

See Table 26, 6.3.4.3, and 9.4 for more information.

NOTE The local variable SPI_SafetyErrorIntervalLimit_i is not to be confused with the parameter SPI.SafetyErrorIntervalLimit. The local variable is copied from the parameter in state S11 (restart). Hence, if the parameter value changes during runtime, the new value will only be used after the connection has been restarted.

Endif

SAPI.FSV_Activated:= 1

RequestSPDU.Flags.FSV_Activated:= 1

NOTE 1 If a safety application prefers fail-safe values other than binary 0, this can be implemented in the safety application by querying SAPI.FSV_Activated.

NOTE 2 The NonSafetyData is always updated if data is available. In case of a timeout, no data is available, which is indicated using binary zero. If it is necessary for an application to distinguish between “no data available” and “binary zero received”, it can add a Boolean variable to the NonSafetyData. This value is set to ”1” during normal operation, and to ”0” for indicating that no data is available.

External event

Restart cycle

Event

The external call of SafetyConsumer can be interpreted as event “restart cycle”

Table 34 shows the states of the SafetyConsumer. The SafetyConsumer parameters are accessed only in state S11. In this state, a copy is made, and in all other states and transitions the copied values are used. This ensures that a change of one of these parameters takes effect only when a new safety connection is established. The only exception from this rule is the parameter SafetyConsumerTimeout. A change of this parameter becomes effective immediately (see RQ7.26). If this is not the desired behaviour, i.e. if parameters should be changeable during runtime, this can be accomplished by establishing a second safety connection according to this document with the new parameters, and then switching between these two safety connections at runtime.
