Achievable safety rating Category 4 ENISO13849-1
PLe ENISO13849-1
SIL 3 EN62061/61508
Notes A shielded cable installation is neccessary 
if the safely switched-off line (24V Safe 
at 4.2) runs outside the switch cabinet.
 All examples shown are proposals without war-
ranty. In any case the operator has to perform a 
safety review of the entire site.

Example application for cascading
The following shows the cascading of PF-O-xDI-SIL 
modules. When the safety door for the robot cell is opened 
in the example, the conveyor belt is also switched off at the 
same time. In contrast, switching off the conveyor belt, e.g. 
with the cable-pull switch, does not automatically switch off 
the robot cell.
Multiple cascade levels and also multiple PF-O-xDI-SIL mod-
ules can be used on a single level. Be aware that the trigger-
ing of an PF-O-xDI-SIL module immediately switches off the 
24V supply of all subsequent safe power-feed modules. A 
delay of these modules is then no longer effective.
 Please regard during commissioning:
After switching on the u-remote station the man-
ual start has to be operated once for each single 
cascaded PF-O-xDI-SIL module.
