DCSTL wiring and programming example

This topic demonstrates how to wire the guard I/O and program the instruction in the safety control portion of an application
This example complies with ISO 13849-1, Category 4 operation.
TIP:
The standard control portion of the application is not shown in the following diagram.

TIP:
  • The tag in the preceding diagram is an internal Boolean tag that has its value determined by other parts of the user application that are not shown in this example. The falling edge (1->0) of the Test Request input forces a test to be executed (safe state must be observed). Connecting this input to the output that enables the hazard forces a test to be executed every time that the hazard is stopped.
