General information

Generally, all the connection variants listed in this documentation are permitted for safety-relevant applications as long as the basic safety concept is met. This means you must ensure by all means that the DC 24 V safety inputs are activated by an external safety relay or a safety controller so that an automatic restart is not possible.

All the safety conditions stipulated in chapters Integrated safety technology, Safety requirements, and Connection variants must be satisfied on a primary basis for the basic selection, installation, and application of the safety components such as safety relay, emergency stop switch, and the approved connection variants.

The wiring diagrams are block diagrams whose only purpose is to show the safety subfunction(s) with the relevant components. For reasons of clarity, circuit-related measures that usually always have to be implemented are not shown in the diagram. Such measures include, for example:

  • Ensuring the availability of touch guards.
  • Handling overvoltages and undervoltages.
  • Avoiding insulation faults.
  • Detecting ground faults or short circuits in externally installed lines.
  • Guaranteeing the required interference immunity against electromagnetic interference.
