Note
| Note (General) |
Evaluation requirements: dual-channel safety input, suitable for p-type sensors with NO function. The safety-monitoring module must tolerate internal functional tests of the sensors with cyclic switch-off of the sensor outputs for max. 0.25 ms. Short-circuit recognition by the evaluation is not necessary. |
