4.2 Safety-related characteristic data and circuitry for sensors connected
The PSC1 modules have completely separate signal processing paths for each safety input.
In addition, measures for obtaining the highest possible DC values are implemented.
4.2.1 Digital sensors:
The digital inputs are completely redundant. The details for the categorisation, the DC and the
achievable PL or SIL are listed in the following.
