Parameter
Description
Output testing
Without test pulses
When this option is selected, the test pulses for this output are
deactivated.
Additional measures for all safety outputs of the module may be
required,
see "Safety-related parameters", page 126
This option is required for connected devices that cannot tolerate
a brief interruption in the voltage supply (test pulses).
Test pulses allowed
When this option is selected, test pulses are activated depending
on other elements on the module. If no element on the safety
outputs of the same module is configured with the
Without test
pulses
option, the test pulses are activated.
The report shows whether the test pulses are activated or deacti‐
vated.
This option is suitable for connected devices where the test pulses
have no effect on the connected device and they are not needed
to achieve the required safety-related characteristics.
With test pulses
When this option is selected, the test pulses for this output are
activated.
This option is required for connected devices where regular test
pulses are essential for achieving the required safety-related char‐
acteristics.

Increased capacitive loads
allowed
This may be necessary for switching loads in cases where the
voltage at the load does not drop to the Low level as quickly as
expected.
Examples
•
Loads with a capacitance that is higher than the standard level
permitted for the output, such as the supply voltage of PLC
output cards that require safety-related switching.
•
Inductive loads that cause an overshoot in the positive voltage
range once the induction voltage has decayed.
Take into account the longer response time.

Adding, configuring and expanding elements
7.4.7.1
Adding elements
Overview
The
Catalog
shows under
Elements
all of the devices (e.g., sensors, actuators, encoders)
that can be connected to the inputs and outputs of the safety controller.
Approach
1.
In the
Navigation pane
, click on
Hardware configuration
.
2.
Drag an element from the
Catalog
into the workspace but do not release it.
✓
All suitable and free inputs and outputs are highlighted.
3.
Drag the element to the desired free input or output and release it.
✓
The element is connected to the relevant input or output.
