6.5.2 Active sensors
Active sensors consist of 2-channel semiconductor outputs utilizing OSSD
technology further described in “Safety data” on page 22. OSSD allows
monitoring of both outputs and cables. Active sensors can be directly connected
to the safety inputs of the Emotron OSTO_100 option, which supports OSSD.
When using active sensors it is important to consider the maximum connection
capacity of the output from the active sensor. The outputs will under normal
circumstances switch simultaneously. Safety functions will be initiated if only
one of the two channels are active. Diverging channel status imply faulty sensors
or impermissible wiring.
Examples of active sensors are: laser scanners, light grids
