Safe States
POINT Guard Digital I/O Modules
These are the safe states of the digital POINT Guard I/O modules:
• Safety outputs: OFF
• Safety input data to network: OFF (single channel and
dual-channel equivalent)
• Safety input data to network: OFF/ON for input channels n/n+1
(dual-channel complimentary)
Figure 3 - Safety Status
The module is designed for use in applications where the safe state is the off state.
