Note
| Note (General) |
Series-wiring of sensors: 16 safety sensors can be switched in series with self-monitoring. In this case, the dual-channel output of a sensor is switched to/inserted into the input of the next sensor. This does not affect the category 4 in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1. The voltage drop over a long sensor chain should be taken into account when planning cable routing. Operating voltage, cross-section and length of the cable, temperature, number of sensors connected, but also the input load of the control monitor all affect the voltage drop over the sensor chain. |
