Status DI external

State inputs can be configured under Devices > Status DI external. The inputs can be used, for example, by a "WAGO I/O System". This is necessary to be able to process alarms later via the digital input signals. Examples of DI external states include medium-voltage switchgear, UPS fault messages, and door contacts.

1. Go to Devices > Status DI external.

2. Using the drop-down menus, select the manufacturer (Vendor) of the device you are scanning for. 

3. Alternatively, using the drop-down menus, select the device type (Series) of the device.

Info

In most cases, interface settings can be found in the manufacturer documentation or the device itself. If you do not know the bus address, you can activate the Use range toggle to scan the blue'Log bus. For questions regarding the best baud rates to choose for a device, please contact the manufacturer.

Info

If the signal of a status input does not correspond to the configured normal state, an alarm is triggered. To configure alarms, go to Cockpit > Alarms/State > Alarm. The error description corresponds to the text in the Error message field. With the option State only, the signals are recorded. You will not receive any active notification of the alarm.
