Safety guard
Module - used to connect conventional safe switching elements via a safe AS-Inter-
face module.
Notice
If tolerancing without shutdown is selected, shutdown in the event of single channel interrupti-
ons only occurs after the tolerance time has passed. The reaction time is extended by the set
tolerance time!
The set tolerance time in the "Tolerancing without shutdown" operating mode must not exceed
one tenth of the average time between two actuations of the monitored switch!
Example:
The shortest time between 2 opening operations of a safety guard is 5 s.
The set tolerance time in this case may be maximum 0.5 seconds.
