8-2-2 External device monitor (EDM) output signal
• The monitor output signal is used by the external device to monitor the state of the safety input signal. Connect the
monitor output to the external device monitor terminal of the safety devices such as safety controller and safety
sensor.

• The table below shows the logical relationship between safety input signal and EDM output signal.
When both safety input 1 and 2 are off, i.e. when STO function of 2 safety input channels are active, the photocoupler
in EDM output circuit turns on.
Signal Symbol Photocoupler logic
Safety input
SF1 ON ON OFF OFF
SF2 ON OFF ON OFF
EDM output EDM OFF OFF OFF ON
By monitoring the logics (all 4 states) of photocoupler shown in the table above, the external device can determine the
status (normal or abnormal) of safety input circuit and EDM output circuit. That is, when error occurs, the EDM
output circuit does not turn ON the photocoupler even if both safety inputs 1 and 2 are OFF. Or, reversely, the EDM
output circuit turns ON the photocoupler if one of or both of safety inputs 1 and 2 are ON.
• Maximum delay time from input of safety 1 and 2 signals to output of EDM signal is 6 ms.
