13.13. Information on operation in a BR switch chain
13.13.1. System times
The locking module has different reaction times compared to a CES-BR switch (see chapters
16.2. Typical system times on page 52
).
13.13.2. Wiring of a BR switch chain
To prevent earth loops, the wiring should be in a star configuration (see
).

13.13.3. Number of devices in switch chains
In a pure MGB2 switch chain a maximum of ten devices can be connected in series. In mixed switch chains (e.g.
MGB2 together with CES-BR) the maximum number of devices is also ten.
13.13.4. Resetting in switch chains
Important!
Use the reset input (RST) for resetting in BR switch chains. All devices in the chain must be
reset simultaneously. Resetting individual switches will result in faults.
