Function Description
The safety relay PNOZ X3P provides a safety-oriented interruption of a safety circuit. When
supply voltage is supplied the "POWER" LED is lit. The unit is ready for operation when the
start circuit S13-S14 is closed.
} Input circuit is closed (e.g. E-STOP pushbutton not operated):
– Safety contacts 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34 are closed, auxiliary contact 41-42 is open.
The unit is active.
– The LEDs "CH.1" and "CH.2" are lit.
– A high signal is present at the semiconductor output switch state Y32.
} Input circuit is opened (e.g. E-STOP pushbutton operated):
– Safety contacts 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34 are opened redundantly, auxiliary contact
41-42 is closed.
– The LEDs "CH.1" and "CH.2" go out.
– A low signal is present at the semiconductor output switch state Y32.
Operating modes
} Single-channel operation: No redundancy in the input circuit, earth faults in the start
and input circuit are detected.
} Dual-channel operation with detection of shorts across contacts: Redundant input cir-
cuit, PNOZ X3P detects
– earth faults in the start and input circuit,
– short circuits in the input circuit,
– shorts across contacts in the input circuit.
} Automatic start: Unit is active once the input circuit has been closed.
} Monitored start: Unit is active once the input circuit is closed and once the start circuit is
closed after the waiting period has elapsed (see Technical details [ 133]).
} Increase in the number of available contacts by connecting contact expander modules
or external contactors/relays.
