ferent propagation times of the input signals can lead to a lengthening or
shortening of the discrepancy time and/or synchronization time.

7.6.2.4.3 Dual channel monitor V1
Overview
T
his function block evaluates dual-channel switches or sensors. The function block
checks the sequence and discrepancy of two inputs.
You can use the function block if, for example, you are unable to configure dual-channel
evaluation in the hardware configuration.

Output Description
Enable Data type: Boolean
T
he dual-channel evaluation can only switch to active (Enable output
changes from 0 to 1) after a correct sequence.
The inputs are not allowed to change from active to discrepant and
then back to active. The Enable output can only change back to 1 if both
inputs are inactive at the same time for at least the logic execution
time.
Status Data type: Boolean
