The calculation of an individual scalable display is built-up as follows:

The unit („Units“) as well as the number of decimal places are freely selectable and have no
influence to the accuracy of the calculation.

Examples for an input frequency of 1 kHz:

If 1000.0 [Hz] is shown in display 1 „Frequency“, the parameter group „Input Scaling“ can be used

to adjust the following scaling’s, which are then indicated in display 3.

Parameters of the group „Input Scaling“ see chapter 7.1
Display 1 „Frequency“ resp. display 3/4 „Scaled Input“ see chapter 5.1

9.1. Error Messages from the Safety Unit

Error- resp. status-messages will be shown below the diving line of the BG230 display.

Runtime Error / Initial Error:

Example:
The hexadecimal number of the error message is build-up of individual errors:

H 0000 0200
H 0000 0100
H 0000 0080
H 0000 0004
H 0000 0002

Runtime Error: H 0000 0386

Bg230_02a_oi_e.doc / Jun-15 Page 26 / 30

In case of a status message „Communication Offline“

- the serial settings must be checked resp. adjusted

- or the safety unit must be switched off and on again

(in order to re-initialize the safety and display unit)

9.2. Status Messages from the BG230

Error- resp. status-messages will be shown below the diving line of the BG230 display.

Communication Offline:

CRC Error:
The "CRC Error" is released in case of damaged data, when storing in resp. loading from the flash
memory. The damaged data from the flash cannot be loaded or used and need to be saved again.

Readback Error:
The "Readback Error“ is released if the data which were transmitted to the safety device do not
correspond with the read back data.

Serial Error:
In case of errors during the serial transmission (e. g. parity errors or transmission errors), the
„Serial Error“ message is released. Then the BG230 must be removed and connected again for a re­initialization of the serial interface.
