5.6 Y7 transistor output
The Y7 transistor output provides a non-safety related signal for communication to
a PLC.
Status Y7 transistor output
Normal operation (no error) HIGH (ON)
Error LOW (OFF)
The output data is compatible with the input data of the current-sinking inputs of
type 1, 2, 3 to EN 61131-2.
5.7 Pulse pick-ups (sensors)
2 pnp-switching sensors with the "normally open" output function are connected to
the device as pulse pick-ups.
The position of the sensors and the mechanical design of the cams are not
arbitrary since one sensor must always be damped.

5.8 Sensor monitoring
In order to prevent faulty standstill signalling, the sensors are permanently
monitored during operation of the installation.
5.8.1 Pulse comparison input 1 and 2
By permanently comparing the pulses it is evaluated whether the pulse sequences
of both sensors differ from each other.
If during operation a mechanical or electrical error causes one sensor to fail, there
willbeaninterruptionoftheotherwiseidenticalpulsesequence(f1≠f2).
In accordance with "safe" standstill monitoring this is not considered as
underspeed.
The output relays K1/K2 do not switch, there is an error message.
5.8.2 Mechanical requirements on damping cams and gaps
The arrangement of the mark-to-space ratio of the damping cams and gaps
ensure that at least one sensor is damped all the time.
Therefore the gap between the damping cams must not be of a size that both
sensors face a gap at the same time and are not damped.
