Dual channel monitor
The value necessary on the two signals to achieve the required state depends on
the Input mode selected. There are two possibilities:
equivalent evaluation
complementary sampling
Input mode Input A Input B State of the tolerant dual channel monitor
Equivalent 0 0 Inactive
0 1 Discrepant, Input A switched off
1 0 Discrepant, Input B switched off
1 1 Active, if correct sequence has been followed
Complementary 0 1 Inactive
0 0 Discrepant, Input A switched off
1 1 Discrepant, Input B switched off
1 0 Active, if correct sequence has been followed
