1)
When sensor cables carry the test pulse signal of the same test output, a protected or separate cabling is required. Reason: Cross-circuits
be
tween the sensor cables are not detected.
2)
If you are configuring safety pressure mats (dual-channel input with short-circuit detection), the safety function must be requested at least
once a year.

Important information
DANGER
Ine
ffectiveness of the protective device or reduction of the safety parameters due to a
change in configuration of the element
The dangerous state may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely manner in the
event of non-compliance.
b
Take longer response times, fault detection times or reduced safety parameters
into account.
WARNING
Ineffectiveness of the protective device due to longer response time with debounce
filter
The dangerous state may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely manner in the
event of non-compliance.
b
Select the shortest possible debounce time.
b
Take into account the longer response time.

Parameter Description
Tag name The logic editor and report display the tag name of an element.
Nr. of devices: If multiple devices are connected in a safe series connection, you
c
an enter the number of devices here.
Safety element Specifies whether you can use the element for a safety function.
ON-OFF The ON-OFF debounce filter for falling signal edges (1 → 0) and
t
he OFF-ON debounce filter for rising signal edges (0 → 1) prevent
undesirable signal changes that arise as a result of bouncing of
the contacts.
When the debounce filter is active, a change in the signal is
delayed by the selected debounce filter time [ms].
Take into account the longer response time.

est output
The element is tested if the option is activated. You can configure
the test pulse frequency and the test pulse duration in the Test
outputs tab.
For dual-channel elements, these parameters can be configured
individually for each channel.
