Description
As long as the safe outputs are switched off, the input contactor monitor on the AS-Interface
safety monitor must be active = ON . After the safe outputs have been switched on (validation),
the input contactor monitor is not relevant for set switching time. Afterward, the input must be
inactive = OFF. The state of the contactor monitor is active = ON (switched on).
After the safe outputs have been switched off, the state of the contactor monitor returns to
inactive = OFF (switched off) and the input contactor monitor is not queried for the set
switching time. Afterward, the input contactor monitor must again be active = ON.
Contactor monitoring prevents the monitor from being switched back on for the duration of the
set switching time after it is switched off. This should allow all downstream contactors to reach
the idle state before contactor monitoring again queries the input signal, thereby preventing an
error lock.
