Maximum response time of outputs: 
The maximum response time of the EM 4 F-DI/3 F-DO DC24V PROFIsafe (with or without 
fault) is equivalent to the maximum internal processing time T
max
. 
The internal processing times of the electronic PM channel depend on the readback time 
parameter setting (see table below).

Maximum response time of the EM 1 F-RO DC24V/AC24..230V/5A 
The maximum response time of the EM 1 F-RO DC24V/AC24..230V/5A (with or without 
fault) is equivalent to the total of: 
●  the maximum response time of the fail-safe output used to activate the F-RO module 
●  plus the relay switching or release time of the F-RO module
