Parameter
Description
Discrepancy time
The discrepancy time determines how long the two inputs can
continue to have different values after the value of one of the two
input signals changes.
OSSD test pulse filter
When this option is activated, the device filters out test pulses
from safety sensors with self-testing semiconductor outputs
(OSSD) that have a test pulse duration of ≤ 1 ms.
No lengthening of the response time needs to be taken into con‐
sideration.
Max. tolerated test pulse
delay
The max. tolerated test pulse delay specifies how long safety sen‐
sors with test inputs can delay the signal of a test output (X)
before the safety capable input no longer detects it.
•
For safety sensors with test inputs:
If the configured test pulse frequency is > 8 ms and a long
delay of the test signal due to the connected sensors is
expected, e.g., when cascading the sensors, set this to 12 ms.
See the operating instructions of the sensor
•
In all other cases and for all other sensors:
Always use 0 ms
Take into account the longer response time.

Discrepancy time
Overview
The safety controller evaluates dual-channel elements with or without a discrepancy
time. The discrepancy time determines how long the two inputs can continue to have
different values (for dual channel equivalent mode) or the same value (for dual-channel
complementary mode) after the value of one of the two input signals changes.
