Application and Wiring Examples for Safety Modules      Appendix C
When the module is wired as shown, and the requirements listed are met in the 
project of the safety controller, it is suitable for applications that are rated up 
to, and including, Category 4 as defined in ISO 13849-1. 
To achieve that suitability rating, the following requirements must be met:
• Point Mode must be Safety Pulse Test.
• Safety input pairs must be associated with different Test Output sources.

IMPORTANT: When the power supply and muting lamp 
are configured for a test output, you much connect the 
return wire on the device to a COM point on the module.
Channel Connections
The diagram shows devices that are connected to safety 
input channels 0 and 1, and to test outputs 2 and 3.
You are not restricted to using only those safety input 
channels.
You can connect devices to any channel or combination 
of channels as needed.
SA Power
Connections to an external power supply that provides 
SA power via the SA Power RTB on one of the following:
• Compact GuardLogix 5380 controller
• 5069-AENTR or 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP Adapter
• 5069-FPD field potential distributor
IMPORTANT: Remember the following:
• The 5069-IB8S and 5069-IB8SK modules use DC SA 
power. You must connect DC power to the 
component, that is, controller, adapter, or field 
potential distributor, that provides SA Power to the 
modules.
• If you install modules in a system that use AC SA 
power and DC SA power, you must install them on 
separate SA power buses.
• You use a 5069-FPD field potential distributor to 
establish a new SA Power bus in a system. SA Power 
buses are isolated from each other. To keep the 
modules on separate SA Power buses, complete the 
following steps.
1. Install the modules that use one type of SA power, 
for example DC, to the right of the adapter or 
controller, that is, the first SA Power bus.
2. Install the 5069-FPD field potential distributor to 
establish a second SA Power bus.
3. Install the modules that use the other type of SA 
power, for example AC, on the second SA Power 
bus.
