4.3  Modules switchable by PF-O-xDI-SIL 
Safely switchable output modules:
 – UR20-4DO-P
 – UR20-4DO-P-2A
 – UR20-4DO-PN-2A
 – UR20-8DO-P
 – UR20-8DO-P-2W-HD
 – UR20-16DO-P
 – UR20-16DO-P-PLC-INT
 – UR20-4DO-N
 – UR20-4DO-N-2A
 – UR20-8DO-N
 – UR20-2PWM-PN-0.5A
 – UR20-2PWM-PN-2A
 – UR20-4AO-UI-16
 – UR20-4AO-UI-16-HD
 – UR20-4AO-UI-16-DIAG
 – UR20-4AO-UI-16-DIAG-HD
In case a N-switching output module is positioned within a 
safety segment the connected load needs to be switched 
against +24V Safe.
The relay output modules UR20-4RO-CO-255 and UR20-
4RO-SSR-255 are not safely switchable, therefore they must 
not switch any safety function.
The digital counter module UR20-1CNT-1DO-100 will not be 
switched since it is supplied via the input current path.
4.4  Conguration
A PF-O-xDI-SIL module can be positioned anywhere in 
the u-remote station. Multiple PF-O-xDI-SIL modules 
and thus safety segments can be set up in a single station. 
When planning a u-remote station with PF-O-xDI-SIL 
modules, the following requirements must be met:
 – The overall current consumption from the system current 
path of all switchable modules within a safety segment 
must be lower than 100mA (see table in section4.5).
 – Each safety segment might include at most 12 switcha-
ble modules. 
 – The switch-off delay time for the safe input channels 
within a safety circuit is 500ms ± 10ms.
 – The load output is not designed for either inductive or 
capacitive loads.
 – The feed-in of the PF-O-xDI-SIL module must be 
safeguarded with a 8-A super fast fuse.
 – A SELV/PELV power supply must be used. 
 – The safely shut-off systems/applications must get their 
power exclusively from the safe feed-in module 
PF-O-xDI-SIL. Likewise, it must not be possible to 
feed external energy into the safety segment elsewhere.
 – Relay modules can be located within a safety segment, 
however their outputs cannot be safely shut off in case of 
a malfunction.
 – At the SS1 output of the UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL, only 
systems/equipment that do not feed any power back into 
the system in the event of a malfunction can be con-
nected.
 – Any external short circuits in the wiring of the safe output 
must be avoided.
 – Fault exclusion as per EN ISO13849-2 must be provided.
4.5  Switch-off delay time
The turn-off time of a PF-O-xDI-SIL module is 20ms, 
caused by the hardware and rmware delay time. The time 
required until the output voltage even of the last switchable 
module of a safety segment is below 5V, can be calculated 
as follows:
  Turn-off time of a PF-O-xDI-SIL module 
+  Sum of all modules’ hardware delay
=  Switch off delay [ms]
Switch-off delay and current consumption
