Monitoring functions
● Only fail-safe signals must be connected to a signal input (INx) of a monitoring function.
● "Mixed connection" of signals is not possible, i.e. for multi-channel functions capable of
cross-circuit detection, only channels of the same module can be connected. (Comment:
mode selector switch).
Note
For cross-circuit detection, channels are assigned to "channel groups" on central units or
expansion modules:
Channel group 1: IN1/IN2
Channel group 2: IN3/IN4
Channel group 3: IN5/IN6
Channel group 4: IN7/IN8
● The following rules apply for interconnecting channels on these modules to multi-channel
monitoring functions with the exception of the mode selector switch:
– If an input in a channel group is used with one channel, the assigned second input
– If an input of a channel group is used with two channels, the second associated input

must no longer be used with two channels. It can still be used with one channel.
is automatically configured to the still unused input of the element (e.g. emergency
stop: IN1 is configured to SLOT3_F-IN1, IN2 is automatically assigned to SLOT3_F-
IN2).
The test cycle inputs for detecting cross-circuits are assigned as follows:
T1: IN1 IN3 IN5 IN7
T2: IN2 IN4 IN6 IN8
Note
A 2-channel enabling button can only be connected via the test cycle.
NOTICE
If a safety shutdown mat (cross-circuit principle) is connected to a slot (expansion
module or central unit), cross-circuit detection must be deactivated for the remaining
inputs on this slot because otherwise the monitoring functions configured for these
inputs will also signal a cross-circuit when somebody steps on the safety shutdown
mat.
