1.6  Warning about misuse

In case of inadequate or improper use or manipulations of 

the component, personal hazards or damage to  machinery 

or plant components cannot be excluded. The relevant 

 requirements of the standards ISO 14119 and ISO 13850 

must be observed.

1.7  Exclusion of liability

We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from 

defective mounting or failure to comply with this operating instructions 

manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages 

resulting from the use of unauthorised spare parts or accessories.

For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary 

repairs, conversions and modifications to the device are strictly 

forbidden; the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages 

resulting from such invasive work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or 

modifications to the device.

2.1  Ordering code

This operating instructions manual applies to the following types:

Description

02

Connection of NC/NC sensors

Connection of NC/NO sensors

with cage clamps

SK

with plug-in screw connection

•  Possibility to connect up to 4 sensors per interface, e.g. 

safety magnetic switches of the BNS type, emergency stop 

control devices, interlocking devices, etc.

• Current and voltage limitation of the input circuits

• Cross-wire monitoring of the input circuits

•  Signalling output for each sensor (monitoring of both circuits 

of the sensors)

• Green LED indications for UB and every sensor contact

• Cascading possible for the connection of up to 80 sensors

This device is designed as input expander module. The  

safety function is only realised in conjunction with the 

downstream basic device (SRB). To this effect, the device 

must be connected in accordance with the wiring example!

Only if the information described in this operating instructions 

manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefore 

the compliance with the Machinery Directive is maintained.

2.2  Special versions

For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1, 

these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to 

the standard version.

2.3  Purpose

The input expander modules for integration in safety circuits are 

designed for fitting in control cabinets. They are used for the evaluation 

of the signals of 1...4 sensors and the summarised transmission of the 

signals to a downstream safety-monitoring module.

The function is defined as the opening of the enabling contacts 13-14 

and 23-24 when one or more of the 8 sensor inputs are actuated. The 

enabling paths with the outputs contacts 13-14 and 23-24 meet the 

following requirements under observation of a PFH value assessment 

and in conjunction with an SRB (control category 4 / PLe) (also refer to 

chapter 2.5 "Safety classification"):

–  Control category 3 – PL d to ISO 13849-1 (when multiple  

safety guards are opened within one work cycle)

– SIL 2 to IEC 61508

–  SILCL 2 to IEC 62061

The above-described requirements cannot be met by the 

input expander module solely, but only in combination with a 

safety-monitoring module as described in this manual.

To determine the Performance Level (PL) to ISO 13849-1 of the entire 

safety function (e.g. sensor, logic, actuator), an assessment of all 

relevant components is required.

The entire concept of the control system, in which the safety 

component is integrated, must be validated to the relevant 

standards.
