    SAFE import or externally generated automatic project creation procedures, are not covered by the certifi- cate. WARNING Commissioning test Before the EP2918-0032 can be used for the safety task, the user must carry out a commissioning test so that sensor and actuator wiring faults can be ruled out. CAUTION Follow the machinery directive! The TwinSAFE components shall only be used in machines as defined in the machinery directive.

    EtherCAT/Ethernet infrastructure", which is available for download from www.Beck- hoff.de. EtherCAT uses four cable wires for signal transmission. Due to automatic cable detection (auto-crossing) symmetric (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between EtherCAT devices from BECKHOFF. 4.2.2.4 Power connection and grounding This chapter provides basic information about the power supply and grounding of the TwinSAFE EtherCAT Box.

  • Page 21: Temperature Measurement

    The temperature measurement of the TwinSAFE EtherCAT Box consists of a single EtherCAT Box that is wired with corresponding supply and communication cables. The inputs and/or outputs of the EtherCAT Box are switched on for the test. EP2918-0032 and EP2918-2232 Version: 1.2.0...
  • Page 22: Signal Cables

    When connecting a single switching contact via its own continuous cabling (or via a sheathed cable), the maximum permitted cable length with test pulses activated is 100 meters. The use of contact points, connectors or additional switching contacts in the cabling reduces the maximum propagation. Version: 1.2.0 EP2918-0032 and EP2918-2232...
  • Page 23: Fig. 12 Cable Routing

    The common routing of signals together with other clocked signals in a common cable also reduces the maximum propagation, since crosstalk of the signals can occur over long cable lengths and cause diagnostic messages. EP2918-0032 and EP2918-2232 Version: 1.2.0...
