3. Description of the safety function
Devices from this series feature the following safety functions:
Monitoring of guard locking and the position of the guard
(interlocking device with guard locking according to EN ISO 14119)

):
-The safety outputs are switched off when guard locking is released (monitoring of the locking element).
-The safety outputs are switched off when the guard is open (monitoring of the door position).
-Guard locking can be activated only when the actuator is located in the switch head (prevention of inadvertent locking
position (faulty closure protection)).
-The following additionally applies in a BR series connection: the safety outputs are switched on only when the device
receives a corresponding signal from its predecessor in the chain.

Control of guard locking for variants with IMP/IMM connection
If the device is used as guard locking for personnel protection, the control of the guard locking must be regarded as a
safety function.
The device does not feature a safety characteristic for the control of the guard locking, because the guard locking solenoid
is completely disconnected from outside the device (no control function within the device). It therefore does not contribute
to the failure probability.
The safety level for the control of the guard locking is defined only by the external control (e.g. PFH
D, ext.
for the standstill
monitor).

Control of guard locking via IO-Link communication
If the device is used as guard locking for personnel protection, the control of the guard locking must be regarded as a
safety function.
The device does not feature a safety characteristic for the control of the guard locking.
