Example application for dual-channel light curtain monitoring (AOPD type 4) and emergency stop 
monitoring
1)
 Switchable modules see section4.3
When the emergency stop button is pushed or the ac-
tive optoelectronic protective device (AOPD) reacts, the 
UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL switches off the 24V supply for 
the modules
1) 
within the safety segment and thus also for 
contactors K3 and K4. The failure of a switching element 
in the emergency stop button or the AOPD as well as a 
cross-circuit in their supply lines does not result in the failure 
of the corresponding safety device and is detected within 
the fault-reaction time. For this purpose, the AOPD must 
generate a test pulse on its safety outputs at least once per 
second.
When using a UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL: If the DIP switch 
which is assigned to the corresponding safety circuit is 
switched on (in the example DIP switch 2 for LC1) so that 
an AOPD generating own test pulses can be connected, it 
might be necessary to have a shielded cable installation and 
cross-circuit fault detection via the AOPD, depending on the 
required safety level.
The UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL switches on the 24V supply 
for the modules
1)
 within the safety segment if:
 – the emergency stop button is unlocked
 – and the active optoelectronic protective device (AOPD) is 
free
 – and the feedback circuit (NC contacts of K3 and K4) is 
closed
 – and the start push button has been pushed and released 
again.
Contactors K3 and K4 are controlled by the PLC and can 
switch on as soon as the UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL has 
switched on the 24V supply.
