output. Extensive fault detection and redundant critical
circuits ensure that each module operates in a fail-safe
manner.
Two monitored Guarded output modules can be connected in
parallel to obtain fault tolerant control of power to loads. In
this parallel module configuration, either module can be
removed and replaced while the other Guarded module
continues to control the loads without interruption.
