Note 
The safety classes SIL2/Category 3/PLd or SIL3/Category 4/PLe listed in the table above 
can only be achieved with the modules specified in the "Condition" column. Configurations 
with other modules (e.g. motor starter DS1-x/RS1x, DS1e-x/RS1e-x, DSS1e-x) are not 
permitted for safety-related applications.
