To program fault tolerant outputs two output coils driven by 
the same control logic are used as shown in Figure 11. 
Figure 11. Programming Fault Tolerant Outputs.
In this illustration A, B, C, D represent various logic elements 
used to drive the outputs; XV103A represents the output on 
one Guarded output module; and XV103B represents the 
output on the other Guarded output module. 
Maintenance
No periodic maintenance or calibration is required for this 
module. 
Fuses can be removed and replaced without removing the 
module from the I/O chassis. Turning the fuse holder one-
quarter turn from its locked position releases the fuse holder, 
extending the fuse and allowing it to be removed. 
To prevent damage to the module, replacement fuses must be 
of the same rating and type (see Specifications, below). 
Safety Considerations
The DC Guarded output modules are TÜV certified to Risk 
Class 5 for safety critical outputs. The modules are approved 
for de-energize to trip safety critical outputs in single or dual 
module configurations. 
The modules are also approved for energize to trip safety 
critical outputs in dual module configuration only if the 
outputs are dynamically transitioned at a period not greater 
that six months (to verify the signal wiring and load device 
integrity).
