Dual-channel Mode
When dual-channel mode is used, output channels function as connection pairs.
Connection pairs are as follows:
•Channels 0 and 1
•Channels 2 and 3
•Channels 4 and 5
•Channels 6 and 7
•Channels 8 and 9
• Channels 10 and 11
• Channels 12 and 13
• Channels 14 and 15
When both output channels in a connection pair are in the On state and without
any faults, the safety outputs are turned on.
For information about how using dual-channel mode with a 5094-OB16S or
5094-OB16SXT module affects the safety application suitability level, see
Table 15 on page 79
