Example application for dual-channel emergency stop monitoring
1)
 Switchable modules see section4.3
When the emergency stop button is pushed, the 
PF-O-xDI-SIL switches off the 24V supply for the mod-
ules
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 safety door contact as well as a cross-cir-
cuit in their supply lines does not result in the failure of the 
emergency stop mechanism and is detected within the 
fault-reaction time.
A stop is performed by switching off K3 and K4 via the 
PLC. After the motor comes to a stop, as observed by the 
zero-speed monitor, the spring-operated interlock can be 
activated via the unlocking button and the safety door 
can be opened. When the power supply is turned off, the 
safety door cannot be opened if the locking mechanism is 
engaged. We recommend using switches with mechanical 
unlocking capabilities.
The PF-O-xDI-SIL switches on the 24V supply for the 
following modules
1)
 within the safety segment if:
 – the emergency stop button is unlocked
 – and the safety door is closed
 – and the locking mechanism is engaged
 – 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.
