Test rod
The test rod is an opaque, cylinder-shaped object used to check
the detection capability of the active opto-electronic protective
device. The diameter of the test rod is the same as the resolution
of the active opto-electronic protective device.
Universal I/O
Universal I/O can be configured as universal input or as universal
output.
Universal input
Depending on the device, a universal input can be used for reset‐
ting, external device monitoring (EDM), sleep mode, or restarting
the protective device, for example. If sleep mode is activated by
a universal input, the sleep mode must not be used for safety
applications. Certain universal inputs can also be used in pairs as
a static control input.
