Application
The expansion modules provide additional inputs and outputs for a 3RK3 central unit. The
precondition for the use of expansion modules is always connection to a 3RK3 central unit and
the corresponding software version Safety ES.
5.1.8
Startup/self-test of the expansion modules
Once the power supply has been applied, all the devices perform a self-test. During this phase,
the LEDs of the 3RK3 central unit and the expansion modules light up (lamp test). When the
system has powered up, the self-test is complete, and the device is in safety or test mode, the
LEDs light up in accordance with the pending signals.
