Application 2: Wiring loads to L+ and M at each digital output  
You can connect two relays using one fail-safe digital output. The following conditions should 
be kept in mind: 
●  L+ and M of the relays must be connected with L+ and M of the PM-E F pm (reference 
potential must be equal). 
●  The normally open contacts of the two relays must be connected in series. 
This connection can only be made on digital outputs DO 0 and DO 1 (not DO 2). With this 
circuit, you achieve: 
●  SIL3/Category 4/PLe

WARNING 
 
 
When connecting two relays on one digital output (as shown in the figure above), the 
errors "wire break" and "overload" are detected only at the P-switch of the output (not at 
the M-switch).
