5  Operating principle and settings

AES 2355/2356 and AES 2555/2556

Monitoring of two safety switches, which are simultaneously actuated 

by a safety guard (e.g. safety guard, diversitary actuation). Monitoring 

of one or multiple safety guards in series-/parallel-wiring only possible 
with a AES 2355/2356 and AES 2555/2556 series safety-monitoring 
module. The number of connected safety switches is restricted by the 
contract transition resistance and the conduction resistance. This  

overall resistance must not exceed 300 Ω. For magnetic safety sensors 

with LED, the brightness of the LED's reduce as the amount of guard 
doors opened increases.

AES 2365/2366 and AES 2565/2566

Monitoring of safety switches, which are actuated by different safety 
guards (e.g. two guard doors, which are opened independently from 

one another).

Operating principle after the operating voltage is switched on
Without start-up test AES 2355 / 2555 / 2365 / 2565

1. The function of the safety-monitoring module is tested.
2.  If the safety guard is closed, the enabling path of the safety- 

monitoring module will close. The LED is green.

3.  The cable and the connected safety switch are only tested when the 

safety guard is opened or the emergency stop button when actuated.

With start-up test AES 2356 / 2556 / 2366 / 2566

1. The function of the safety-monitoring module is tested.
2.  The safety guard must be actuated, in order to check the cables and 

the connected safety switch (start-up test).

3.  If the safety guard is closed, the enabling path of the safety- 

monitoring module will close. The LED is green.

If the safety guard is opened, the enabling path of the safety-monitoring 

module will open.The machine is stopped and the LED lashes yellow. 

This contact however must not be integrated in the safety circuit.

Inputs S1-S14/S22;  S2-S14/S22

Safety switches with one NC and one NO contact must be connected  
to the inputs S1/S2.

Feedback circuit X1/X2

Connect the feedback circuit of the external contactor with positive  
action contacts and/or a start button to the inputs X1 and X2 or bridge 
the inputs X1 and X2.

Enable delay time X7/X8

By bridging the connections X7/X8, the enable delay time (i.e. time 

during which after the irst closing of the guard, bouncing of the switch 

contacts or of the entire guard is possible without error message) can 

be extended from 0.1 s to 1 s. The enable delay time simultaneously 
is the minimum time, expiring between the guard being closed and the 
relays being activated.

Outputs
Enabling paths 13-14, 23-24, 33-34, (43-44)

NO contacts for safety functions

Additional contact 51-52

NC contact for signalling purposes

Additional outputs Y1/Y2

Y1: indication "guard open"
Y2: indication "error"

The additional outputs Y1 and Y2 must not be integrated in the safety 

circuit; they may only be used for signalling purposes.

6  Set-up and maintenance

6.1  Functional testing

The safety function of the safety-monitoring module must be tested. 
The following conditions must be previously checked and met:

1. Correct itting of the safety-monitoring module

2. Fitting and integrity of the power cable

6.2  Maintenance

In the case of correct installation and adequate use, the safety- 
monitoring module features maintenance-free functionality. 

A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following 
steps, is recommended:

• Check the correct ixing of the safety monitoring module

• Check the cable for damage.

Damaged or defective components must be replaced.

7  Disassembly and disposal

7.1  Disassembly

The safety monitoring module must be disassembled in the de- 
energised condition only.

7.2  Disposal

The safety monitoring module must be disposed of in an appropriate 
manner in accordance with the national prescriptions and legislations.
