Note
You can operate the various inputs of an F-DI module simultaneously in SIL2/Category
3/PLd and SIL3/Category 3 or 4/PLe. You only have to connect the inputs and assign the
parameters as shown in the following chapters.
Sensor Requirements
Please note the information in section
"Requirements for Sensors and Actuators" when using
sensors for safety-related applications.
