Collection of bits indicating the safety status of the motion axis.
Guard OK = indicates if the drive is free of any Guard Fault conditions.
Guard Config Locked = indicates that configuration data for the drive safety core has been locked and cannot be modified.
Guard Gate Drive Output = indicates the state of the Gate Drive (MP OUT) circuit used to disable the drive power structure.
Guard Stop Input = indicates the current state of the Safe Stop input.
Guard Stop Request = indicates if a safe stop operation has been requested. The safe stop request can be initiated by the Safe Stop Input or in response to a Safety Fault. The bit is only cleared by a successful safety reset
Guard Stop In Progress = indicates if the Safe Stop (SS) function of the safety core is in progress. This bit is set when the Safe Stop input transitions from on to off and clears at the end of the stop delay or when a safety fault occurs.
Guard Stop Decel = indicates if the Safe Stop (SS) function of the safety core is actively decelerating the axis. This bit is set after the monitoring delay expires and clears at the end of the stop delay or when a fault occurs.
Guard Stop Standstill = indicates if the Safe Stop (SS) function of the safety core is in the safe stopped mode, i.e. has successfully stopped the axis and is performing zero speed monitoring. This bit is set after the stop delay expires and clears when a fault occurs.

Guard Limited Speed Input = indicates the current state of the Safe Limited Speed (SLS) input.
Guard Limited Speed Request = indicates if a safe speed operation has been requested. The safe stop request can be initiated by the Safe Limited Speed input. The bit is only cleared by a successful safety reset.

Guard Limited Speed Output = indicates the current state of the Safe Limited Speed (SLS) output.
Guard Max Speed Monitor In Progress = indicates if the Safe Max Speed (SMS) monitoring function of the safety core is in progress.
Guard Max Accel Monitor In Progress = indicates if the Safe Max Accel (SMA) monitoring function of the safety core is in progress.
Guard Direction Monitor In Progress = indicates if the Safe Direction Monitoring (SDM) function of the safety core is in progress. Guard Door Output = indicates the current state of the Safe Door output.
Guard Door Control Lock = indicates if the Door Control Output is being commanded to the Locked state.
Guard Door Control Output = indicates the current state of the Safe Door Control output.
Guard Door Monitor Input = indicates the current state of the Door Monitor (DM) input.
Guard Door Monitor In Progress = indicates if the Safe Door Monitoring (DM) function of the safety core is in progress.
Guard Lock Monitor Input = indicates the current state of the Safe Lock Monitoring input.

The Guard Faults attribute is a collection of bits indicating the safety faults of the drive axis. When a safety fault condition occurs the safety core processor always requests a Safe Stop operation and notifies the drive controller to set the appropriate Guard Faults bit. This bit remains latched even if the safety fault condition is cleared in the safety core. A Fault Reset Request to the associated axis clears the safety fault bits, but the bits set again immediately if the underlying safety fault condition is still present.
