Connecting monitoring outputs on the AR evaluation

unit

The AR evaluation unit has 14 short-circuit-proof semiconductor outputs that can 

be used to signal different operating states, e.g. to a PLC. If the monitoring output 

is active, a voltage of max. 24 V DC is present at the related terminal (referred to 

the potential at terminal 0 V).

 Fault on the AR evaluation unit or on a safety switch in the AR 

switch chain, or feedback loop was open during start (see section 

Troubleshooting)

Assignment of safety switches to monitoring outputs

At least one monitoring output is assigned to each safety switch in the AR switch 

chain. The safety switch with bridging plug has the monitoring output O1. From 

here, the output assignments are incremented up to the last switch in the chain.
Several monitoring outputs are occupied depending on the switch type, e.g. one 

monitoring output for the door position and one for the guard locking status.
The table below shows how many monitoring outputs the individual safety switches 

occupy.
