Example response time calculation
Overview
The example calculation includes 2 signal paths. Each signal path needs to be consid‐
ered separately in the calculation.

For safety sensors with a test input or
Flexi Loop: test pulse frequency of the
test output
•
For safety pressure mats: the longer
test pulse frequency of the two test
outputs
•
For electro-mechanical switch/safety
switch (EMSS): test pulse duration of
the test output
