Unit features
` Positive-guided relay outputs:
– 4 safety contacts (N/O), instanta-
neous
` Safe separation of safety contacts
13-14, 23-24, 33-34 from input circuit A1 and feedback loop Y1-Y2
` Connection for feedback loop
` Switch status channel 1/2
` See order reference for unit types
Unit description
The unit meets the requirements of EN
60204-1 and IEC 60204-1. The contact expander module is used to increase the number of contacts
available on a base unit. Base units are
all
` Safety relays with feedback loop
` Programmable safety systems with
feedback loop
The category that can be achieved in
accordance with EN 954-1 depends
on the category of the base unit. The
contact expander module may not exceed this.
Safety features
The unit meets the following safety requirements:
` The contact expander module ex-
pands an existing circuit. As the
output relays are monitored via the
base unit's feedback loop, the safety functions on the existing circuit
are transferred to the contact expander module.
` The safety function remains effec-
tive in the case of a component failure.
` Earth fault in the feedback loop:
Detected, depending on the base
unit that is used.
` Earth fault in the input circuit:
The output relays de-energise and
the safety contacts open.

Wiring
Please note:
` Information given in the “Technical
details” must be followed.
` Outputs 13-14, 23-24, 33-34, 43-44
are safety contacts.
` To prevent contact welding, a fuse
should be connected before the
output contacts (see technical details).

` Use copper wire that can withstand

` Sufficient fuse protection must be
provided on all output contacts with
capacitive and inductive loads.
