safety-related shutdown (3RM10) and in Failsafe design with safety-related shutdown
(3RM11 Failsafe), and also as reversing starters without safety-related shutdown (3RM12)
and in Failsafe design with safety-related shutdown (3RM13 Failsafe).
The following must be noted when using 3RM11 Failsafe/3RM13 Failsafe safety-related
motor starters:
A complete safety system consists of sensors, evaluation units, signaling devices and
