Example application for dual-channel two-hand monitoring with automatic start
1)
 Switchable modules see section4.3
If one or both switches of the two-hand switch are released, 
the PF-O-xDI-SIL switches off the 24V supply for the 
modules
1)
 inside the safety segment and thus also for con-
tactors K3 and K4. The failure of a switching element in the 
two-hand switch or a cross-circuit in its supply lines does not 
result in the failure of the emergency stop mechanism and is 
detected within the fault-reaction time. An interruption of the 
NC contact by S2 is detected before the next switching cycle 
and by S1 when the power is switched on.
The PF-O-xDI-SIL module switches on the 24V supply 
for the following modules
1) 
 within the safety segment if
 – the two-hand switch is pressed synchronously within 
0,5seconds
 – and the feedback circuit (NC contacts of K3 and K4) is 
closed. 
Contactors K3 and K4 are controlled by the PLC and can 
switch on as soon as the PF-O-xDI-SIL has switched 
on the 24V supply. To reset the system, press the reset but-
ton for 0.1 to 2s after switching on the power supply, even 
when automatic reset is used.
