Switching Grounded Loads   
If the EM 4 F-DI/3 F-DO DC24V PROFIsafe switches loads that have a chassis-ground 
connection (for example to improve EMC characteristics) and if chassis and ground are 
connected at the power supply being used, a "short-circuit" is detected. 
From the perspective of the F-module, the M-switch is bridged by the chassis-ground 
connection (refer to the diagram below as an example of an EM 4 F-DI/3 F-DO DC24V 
PROFIsafe). 
Remedy:  
●  Using the PM-E F pp DC24V PROFIsafe 
●  The value of the resistance between chassis and ground at the load end must be greater 
than 100 kΩ
