Auxiliary Output
Each safety relay has an auxiliary output. The auxiliary output is not a safety
rated output; it is a low current output that is designed to indicate that the
safety output status is OFF. The auxiliary output is in the opposite state of the
safety outputs. When the safety outputs are ON, the auxiliary output is OFF.
When the safety outputs are OFF, the auxiliary output is ON.
When the EM and EMD safety relays are in a faulted state, the auxiliary
outputs are in an OFF state because the auxiliary outputs are often used as the
source of the monitoring circuit. If the EM or EMD safety relays are faulted,
the safety system must not reset until the fault is corrected.
The DI, DIS, EM, EMD, and SI safety relays have a solid-state transistor
auxiliary output. The CI safety relay has an electromechanical output. Table 3
summarizes the terminal connections of the auxiliary output.
Table 3 - Auxiliary Outputs
Reset and Monitor Input
The CI, DI, DIS, and SI safety relays have a reset/monitoring input (terminal
S34). The expansion relays (EM and EMD) do not have a reset input.
The reset action can be configured for either automatic or manual reset. When
the relay is configured for automatic reset, the safety relay outputs turn ON as
soon as the safety inputs are closed if terminal 34 is connected to 24V. If a
normally open switch is placed in the circuit, the reset function occurs on the
leading edge (when the switch is pressed).
When the relay is configured for manual reset, the safety relay outputs turn
ON after the inputs are closed and then the reset input is cycled from OFF to
ON and then back OFF again.
Monitoring of external devices, like safety control relays and safety contactors,
can be accomplished by adding normally closed contacts in series with the reset
signal. Figure 20 on page 30
shows typical reset/monitoring circuits.
