Fault sequence:
•
Fault
①
(defective protective component):
A component connected to GND on the output short circuits or behaves like an ohmic resistor. This fault
is not always detected.
•
Fault
②
(open circuit on module GND):
The module loses its direct connection to GND and current begins to flow through the defective protective
component → I
OUT
→ actuator.
As a result, current above the maximum value permitted by the module is supplied to the actuator.
Danger!
This type of installation can cause hazardous situations and is therefore NOT permitted.
