Connecting-up the fail-safe inputs

Connecting sensors to fail-safe inputs
The fail-safe inputs of the inverter are designed for connecting electromechanical sensors
with two NC contacts.
It is not possible to directly connect sensors with two NO contacts and antivalent contacts (1
NO contact and 1 NC contact).
Figure 5-42
The following diagrams show the principle connection options for fail-safe inputs for the case
that all of the components are mounted and installed inside a control cabinet.
● Connecting sensors with electromechanical contacts, e.g. Emergency Stop mushroom
● Connecting electronic sensors, e.g. SIMATIC FS-400 light curtains
● Connecting safety relays, e.g. SIRIUS 3TK28.
● Connecting fail-safe outputs, e.g. SIMATIC F digital output modules
