Standard slave
Within an OSSD, it is also possible to use standard AS-Interface slaves in order to realise, by
means of their switching signals (inputs or outputs), an exclusively operational switching of the
safe switching outputs of the AS-Interface safety monitor in an OSSD.
Monitor input
Within the OSSDs or preprocessing, the input signals of the 2 or 4 inputs 1.Y1, 1.Y2 and
2.Y1, 2.Y2, respectively, of the AS-Interface safety monitor can also be used to implement
strictly operational switching of the safe switching output(s) of the AS-Interface safety monitor
in an OSSD.
Button
The Button device can be integrated within the OSSD or Preprocessing. The Button device
makes acknowledgement possible on the device level. As soon as the validation for the device
which is linked to the button is present, this device can be validated by actuating the button,
i.e. acknowledged.
With the aid of the Device button, it is possible, for example, to assign a common local
acknowledgement to multiple light barriers which have been linked together by an AND gate.
NOP
Dummies (NOP - No OPeration) can be used within an (OSSD) window to make the configu-
ration or the graphical display in ASIMON easier to organise or to create a sample configura-
tion to be used as a pattern for different configuration variants. An NOP dummy occupies an
index within the configuration. Each functional device can be replaced by an NOP dummy and
vice versa.
Notice
The use of a standard slave device for safe switching tasks is not permitted!

The use of a monitor input device for safe switching tasks is not permitted!
