Modular Safety System 3RK3

Functional principle
● When there is a positive edge "0 → 1" at the input IN, delay time "t1" begins and function
output Q is set to "1".
● When there is a negative edge "1 → 0" at input IN before the the end of the time "t1", the
time is reset. Function output Q is deactivated, i.e. set to "0".
● After the time period "t1", function output Q is deactivated, i.e. set to "0".

Parameters
Parameter name Description/parameter value
Name You can enter a name for the element here.
Element number Consecutive number which is automatically assigned. You can change
the number.
Element activated When this parameter is active, the function is processed in the safety
logic.
When this parameter is deactivated, the set substitute value is made
available at the output Q.
General
Substitute value "0" or "1" can be assigned to the substitute value when the element is
deactivated.
Substitute value "0" means output Q = 0
substitute value "1" means output Q = 1
Parameters t1[s]
• You enter the delay time here.
• The maximum value is 655 s, increment: 5 ms
Please note that the delay time specified by you can be a multiple of
the program cycle time specified by you in the properties of the central
unit.
For additional information on the program cycle time, refer to the
Response times
chapter.
