Universal Input Compatibility: A single unit can handle E-stops, light curtains, safety gates (interlocks), and safety mats.
-
Simplification: The rotary switch configuration eliminates the need for software, reducing setup time and potential programming errors.
-
Space Efficient: The 22.5mm width allows for more components in smaller control panels.
-
Fast Response Time: Provides rapid de-energization of outputs to ensure maximum operator safety.
-
Global Compliance: Meets international safety standards, making it suitable for machines exported worldwide.
4. Important Considerations & Precautions
-
Configuration Lock: Ensure the rotary switch is set to the correct logic before powering on. Changing the switch while the device is active will trigger a fault.
-
Terminal Torque: Use the correct torque settings for screw terminals to prevent loose connections or arcing.
-
Environmental Factors: Avoid installing the unit in environments with excessive vibration or temperatures exceeding $55^{\circ}C$.
-
Redundancy: To maintain a Category 4 or PLe rating, ensure that the input devices and wiring also meet the required safety architecture.
