Single/Dual
Set the evaluation method to use with the safety output terminals.
Relationship between the Single/Dual Setting and Safety Output Data
The safety output data that is used in the safety program is output to the safety output terminals
according to the Single/Dual parameter as shown below.
• Relationship between Safety Output Data and Signals Output from Safety Output Terminals for
Single-channel Outputs
• Relationship between Safety Output Data and Signals Output from Safety Output Terminals for
Dual-channel Equivalent Outputs
n = Even number
• Operation for Single Channel: Normal Operation
Setting Description
Single Channel The safety output terminals are used as independent safety
output terminals.
Dual Channel Equivalent The pair of safety output terminals are used as dual-channel
outputs. The output is ON if the paired safety output termi-
nals are both normal.
