For an overview of the permissible function modes with changeover mode Overlapped monitoring, see
chapter 5.2 "Function modes of safety sensor".
The field pair changeover must take place within a configurable time period of the changeover time. Two
field pairs can be monitored simultaneously during the changeover time.
• First the control unit must switch to a new field pair before it switches off the previously active one.
• A maximum of two field pairs are active.
Each field pair is then only active if it is selected by the control unit.
• The changeover time starts when the second field pair is connected. When the changeover time has
expired, only one field pair should still be active.
• The changeover time is specified with the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9.4.4
"Creating and configuring protective/warning field pairs").
Tab.5.4: Connection of control inputs F1 to F5 with activation of field pairs A1.1 to A1.5 for protective function A
Field pair Control input Description
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
A1.1 1 0 0 0 0 Field pair A1.1 is active
A1.2 0 1 0 0 0 Field pair A1.2 is active
A1.3 0 0 1 0 0 Field pair A1.3 is active
A1.4 0 0 0 1 0 Field pair A1.4 is active
A1.5 0 0 0 0 1 Field pair A1.5 is active
In the case of two protective functions, connection of control inputs F6 to F10 applies analogously for acti-
vation of field pairs B1.1 to B1.5 for protective function B.

Changeover of ten field pairs in changeover mode Fixed changeover moment
Changeover mode Fixed changeover moment: The field pair changeover must take place within the con-
figurable changeover time, i.e. after the changeover time has expired, a valid and stable input connection
must be present. The old field pair is monitored during the changeover time.
• The previously active field pair is monitored during the changeover time.
