Configuration options for output elements
Important information
DANGER
Ineffectiveness of the protective device or reduction of the safety parameters due to a
change in configuration of the element
The dangerous state may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely manner in the
event of non-compliance.
b
Take longer response times, fault detection times or reduced safety parameters
into account.
WARNING
Reduced safety characteristics due to deactivation of the test pulses
In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
b
Use protected or separate cabling.
b
Perform one of the following actions:
°
Restart the safety controller once a year.
°
Manually switch off all safety outputs simultaneously for min. 2 s once a year.
The supply voltage to the outputs must be within the operating range during
this manual test.
WARNING
Ineffectiveness of the protective device due to longer fault detection time with the
Increased capacitive loads allowed option.
In the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machine
may not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.
The
Increased capacitive loads allowed
option results in a longer fault detection time. This
primarily applies to single-channel outputs.
b
Take into account the extended error detection time.
