Connecting AR switch chain

The AR evaluation unit has two safety inputs to which the AR switch chain is con-

nected. Safety inputs IA and IB have short circuit and earth fault monitoring.
The AR switch chain must be supplied by the AR evaluation unit (terminals UB

AR

 and 

0V

AR

). An additional power supply may be required for these safety switches (e.g. 

for guard locking), depending on which safety switches are used in the AR switch 

chain (see Figure 5). In case of switches with guard locking, the supply for the 

guard locking solenoid must be at the potential of the AR evaluation unit. Informa-

tion on this is provided in the operating instructions of the respective safety switch. 

Important!

A maximum of 12 safety switches can be connected. 
Only safety switches that are suitable for operation in an AR switch chain can 
be connected.
Safety switches with start input are not suitable for connection to an AR evalu-
ation unit.
In the case Unicode switches, the actuators must be taught-in at the read head. 
See the operating instructions for the related safety switch.
For the AR system to function, a bridging plug must be connected to the first 
safety switch in the AR switch chain (or a jumper between IA, IB and UB

AR

).
