The test outputs can also be used to switch non-safety elements (e.g., lamps).
Function
The main module is the central processing unit of the modular safety controller. All
incoming signals are monitored and logically processed in the main module. The out‐
puts are switched based on this processing.
If the main module is used in conjunction with expansion modules, the communication
with the expansion modules is via the backplane bus.
The module offers the following functions:
•
Monitoring of the connected safety devices
•
Switching of the connected safety devices
•
Testing of the connected safety devices and the wiring (short-circuit detection)
•
Use of the test outputs as non-safe outputs
•
Programmable logic (binary logic, integer processing, application-specific function
blocks)
•
CPUc2: Ethernet interface as a TCP/IP configuration interface and data exchange
via Modbus® TCP and SLMP
•
Special IO functions (e.g., fast shut off)
•
Flexi Loop safe series connection
Complementary information
•
Each test output has an independent test pulse generator. This enables differ‐
ent test pulse parameters to be selected and short-circuits in the wiring to be
detected.
•
The element connected to the output during hardware configuration determines
how the test output will be used. If the test output is used for a non-safety element
(e.g., a lamp), then the test pulse is switched off for the output.
•
Safety outputs have test pulses for detecting short-circuits in the wiring.
