How to manage UL Power Supply for Lumberg Active Components

Affected Modules

0980 ESL 390-1x1

Network type

Profinet

PLC

Siemens


Problem Description

Current behaviour: After switching of the UL power supply from the system chain, an error in the PLC-system status is received.

Expected behaviour: After switching off the UL power supply from the system chain, PLC “Diagnostic” error should not be displayed on the PLC error LED

Configuration: Network Topology

When you choose to deactivate the UL source, it will affect all actors in the downstream of the network.

Therefore it is important to divide the sources of errors into two types: the error due to the absence of the UL source and the error due to the absence of the UL source at the peripheral points of the automation infrastructure.

Here we build up a network with all the UL power supply. NO ERROR APPEARS.

Now we switch off the UL Power Supply for both the modules

We notice that module 0980 ESL 390-1x1 shows an error. These are the reasons:

  • The module provides an option to manage the error propagation for UL upstream power supply
  • The module provides the option to manage the propagation UL Power Supply error for downstream components

Possible workaround description for 0980 ESL 390-1x1

For this module, you have these two options which you can check:

The option 1 deactivates the error propagation for UL Power Supply in upstream.

The option 2 deactivates the error propagation for UL Power Supply in the downstream

This could probably be a workaround for your problem.
