The safety function consists of safely switching off the safety outputs when the safety guard is opened and maintaining the safe switched off condition of the safety outputs for as long as the safety guard is open. The safety switchgears are classified according to ISO 14119 as type 4 interlocking devices. Designs with individual coding are classified as highly coded.

The side allows for a maximum height misalignment (X) of sensor and actuator of ± 8 mm (e.g. mounting tolerance or due to guard door sagging). The axial misalignment (y) is max. ± 18 mm. Latching versions X ± 5 mm, Y ± 3 mm. The latching force will be reduced by misalignment.
Requirements for the connected safety-monitoring module: dual-channel safety input, suitable for p-type sensors with NO function Information for the selection of suitable safety-monitoring modules can be found in the Schmersal catalogues or in the online catalogue on the Internet: products.schmersal.com.
5.3 Wiring examples for series-wiring Series-wiring can be set up. In the case of a series connection, the risk time remains unchanged and the reaction time increases by the sum of the reaction time of the inputs per additional unit specified in the technical data. The number of components is only limited by the external cable protection according to the technical data and the line loss.

6 Actuator coding Safety sensors with standard coding are ready to use upon delivery. Individually coded safety sensors and actuators will require the following "teach-in" procedure: 1. Energise the safety sensor. 2. Introduce the actuator in the detection range. The teach-in procedure is signalled at the safety sensor, red LED on, yellow LED flashes (1 Hz).

SD-Gateway is integrated as a slave in an existing field bus system. In this way, the diagnostic signals can be evaluated by means of a PLC. The necessary software for the integration of the SD-Gateway is available for download at products.schmersal.com. The response data and the diagnostic data are automatically and permanently written in the assigned input byte of the PLC for each safety sensor in the series-wired chain.
