BES M/Q…-D12 Inductive Safety Sensors Cross-connection / short circuit – Crossing both the outputs (A1 and A2) is detected by the sensor and results in turning off the outputs (OSSDs) at the next safety request. The outputs A1 and A2 remain turned off until the fault is eliminated and a voltage reset has been performed.
This makes it no longer possible to turn them back on in the release zone. A release takes place either by undamping (> s ar ) for more than 2 sec. or by a voltage interruption (see Section 4.3 Measures against simple circumvention on page 21). www.balluff.com...
