Reaction Time

The reaction time is the time to enable the safety output function when
activating the safety input devices and performing a valid reset operation. The
overall reaction time of the safety function considers the whole safety chain,
including the safety input device, logic device, and actuator. The reaction time
must be calculated for each safety function.

Table 29

shows the possible chain with all considerable reaction times for a safety

function.
