The PFH value of 2.00 x 10

-7

/h applies to the combinations of contact 

load (current through enabling contacts) and number of switching 

cycles (n

op/y

) mentioned in the table below.

At 365 operating days per year and a 24-hours operation, this results in 

the below-mentioned switching cycle times (t

cycle

) for the relay contacts.

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.

3.  Mounting

3.1  General mounting instructions

Mounting: snaps onto standard DIN rails to EN 60715.

Snap the bottom of the enclosure slightly tilted backwards in the DIN 

rail and push down until it latches in position.

To avoid EMC disturbances, the physical ambient and  

operational conditions at the place where the product is  

installed, must meet the provisions laid down in the  

paragraph "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)"  

of EN 60204-1.

3.2  Dimensions

All measurements in mm.

Device dimensions (H/W/D): 126 × 48 × 61 mm

with plug-in terminals: 126 × 48 × 53 mm

4.  Electrical connection

4.1  General information for electrical connection

As far as the electrical safety is concerned, the protection 

against unintentional contact of the connected and therefore 

electrically interconnected apparatus and the insulation of the 

feed cables must be designed for the highest voltage, which 

can occur in the device.

The electrical connection may only be carried out by authorised 

personnel in a de-energised condition.

6.  Set-up and maintenance

6.1  Functional testing

The function of the component must be tested. The following conditions 

must be previously checked and met:

1. Correct fixing

2. Check the integrity of the cable entry and connections

3. Check the switch enclosure for damage

4.  Check the electrical function of the connected sensor technology and 

their influence on the safety-monitoring module and the downstream 

actuators
