Application 2: Wiring loads to L+ and M at each digital output
You can connect two relays using one fail-safe digital output. The following conditions should
be kept in mind:
●
L+ and M of the relays must be connected with L+ and M of the F-DO module (reference
potential must be equal).
●
The normally open contacts of the two relays must be connected in series.
A connection to each of the four digital outputs is possible. The figure below shows an
example of the connection to DO0. This configuration achieves safety class SIL3/Category
4/PLe (process status readback required).

WARNING
When connecting two relays on one digital output, (as shown in the figure above), the
errors "wire break" and "overload" are detected only at the P-switch (not at the M-switch).
WARNING
The controlled actuator can no longer be switched off should a cross circuit occur between
the P and M-switches of the output. To avoid cross circuits between the P and M-switches
of a fail-safe digital output, you should always wire the relay connection to the P and M-
switches separately, in order to prevent any cross circuits (for example with separately-
sheathed cables or using separate cable ducts).
