Maximum cable lengths
Switch chains up to the maximum cable length as per Table 4-2 are permitted while observ-
ing the voltage drop due to the cable resistance. Also observe the maximum permissible
cable lengths between two safety switches.

Note that a high voltage drop at large load currents leads to low input voltages at the sen-
sor and evaluation unit.
