7. Set the Dual Channel mode for the safety output.
Setting Dual Channel mode enables an error to be detected if the two
outputs from a user program are not equivalent. If an error is detected in
one of two outputs circuits, both outputs to the device will become
inactive.
IMPORTANT
If a safety pulse test is set, an off pulse signal (pulse width 580 µs) is
output to diagnose the output circuit when the safety output turns on.
Check the input response time of the control device to make sure this
output pulse will not cause malfunctions.
