Assignable Parameters for Use Case 2.1
Set the "Type of sensor interconnection" parameter to "1-channel" for the corresponding
input. The discrepancy time is permanently preset to 10 ms and cannot be changed.
You can enable or disable the "short-circuit test" parameter. For digital inputs connected to
an external supply, set the "Sensor supply" parameter for the corresponding digital input to
"external". The program will otherwise report a "short circuit" diagnostics event if the "short-
circuit test" is enabled.
Special Features for Fault Detection in Use Case 2.1
The following table presents fault detection according to the sensor supply and the
parameter assignment for the short-circuit test:

*: Fault is detected only in case of signal corruption. That is, the signal read differs from the sensor
signal (discrepancy error). If there is no signal corruption relative to the sensor signal, fault detection
is not possible and is not required from a safety standpoint.
WARNING
If the short-circuit test is disabled or cannot be enabled, the wiring between the sensor and
input channel must be short circuit-proof.
