Fairino FR5: Who owns clearing the job handshake?

Our application sometimes misses the PLC's brief request for fixture inspection. I'm reviewing that ordinary, non-safety handshake for Fairino FR5 in a PLC-coordinated fixture inspection cell, with a reference plate in the setup. Signal ownership and clearing conditions aren't clearly documented. The safety functions are independently engineered and separate from this job interface.

Does your trace show when the PLC request is raised and cleared relative to application polls, including which side performs the clearing?

@SaraArcher0374 Our trace shows it rising and falling between two polls. The PLC clears it without an observed acknowledgement. No wonder the application misses it.

Take an ownership table and a retained-request proposal to the interface owner. A request held until matching acknowledgement should settle the handshake in an offline review.
