Example application for safety mat
1)
 Switchable modules see section4.3
When the safety mat is stepped on, the PF-O-xDI-SIL 
switches off the 24V supply for the modules
1)
 within the 
safety segment and thus also contactors K3 and K4. An 
interruption or a cross-connection in the supply lines for the 
safety mat do not result in the failure of the safety function 
and is detected within before the next starting cycle.
As an alternative to both NC contacts for the reset switch, 
an NO contact can be used there. One of its contacts is set 
at M (0V) and the other contact is wired through a diode to 
connection 1.1 and through a diode to connection 1.3 (both 
cathodes to the switch).
The PF-O-xDI-SIL switches on the 24V supply for 
modules
1)
 within the safety segment if 
 – the safety mat has not been actuated
 – 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 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.
Combined with a safety mat PF-O-xDI-SIL modules 
attain safety rating Category3 only.
