Example application for dual-channel emergency stop and cable-pull switch monitoring
1)
 Switchable modules see section4.3
When the emergency stop button is pushed or the cable-pull 
switch is activated, the UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL switches 
off the 24V supply for the modules
1) 
within the safety 
segment and thus also contactors K3 and K4. The failure of 
a switching element in the emergency stop button or the 
cable-pull switch as well as a cross-circuit in their supply 
lines does not result in the failure of the emergency stop 
mechanism and is detected within the fault-reaction time.
The UR20-PF-O-2DI-DELAY-SIL module switches on the 24V 
supply for the modules
1)
 within the safety segment if
 – the emergency stop button is unlocked
 – and the cable-pull switch is unlocked
 – 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.
