Safety features
The relay meets the following safety requirements:
}
The circuit is redundant with builtin selfmonitoring.
}
The safety function remains effective in the case of a component failure.
}
The correct opening and closing of the safety function relays is tested automatically in
each onoff cycle.
Block diagram/terminal configuration
*Insulation to the nonmarked area: Protective separation (overvoltage category III),
Insulation of relay contacts against each other: Basic insulation (overvoltage category III),
protective separation (overvoltage category II)
Function description
When the supply voltage is supplied, the "POWER" LED illuminates. The unit is ready for
operation when the start circuit is closed or when a start contact is opened and closed
again in the start circuit.
}
High signal at input circuit (e.g. light guard nor interrupted): The safety contacts are
closed and the semiconductor output transmits.
}
Low signal at the input circuit (e.g. light guard is interrupted): The safety contacts are
open and the semiconductor output is deenergised.
}
Dualchannel operation without detection of shorts across contacts: redundant input cir
cuit, detects earth faults in the start and input circuit.
}
Automatic start: Unit becomes active as soon a there is a high signal at the input circuit.
}
Monitored start: Unit is active once there is a high signal at the input circuit and then the
start circuit is closed.
}
Increase in the number of available instantaneous safety contacts by connecting con
tact expander modules or external contactors.
