General Safety Information
This application example is for advanced users and
assumes that you are trained and experienced in safety
system requirements.
A risk assessment should be performed to make sure all
task and hazard combinations have been identified and
addressed. The risk assessment may require additional
circuitry to reduce the risk to a tolerable level. Safety
circuits must take into consideration safety distance
calculations which are not part of the scope of this
document.

assessment services.
