Notes
Phoenix Contact components used
3 x PSR-CT safety switch
Safety relay: PSR-MC40-3NO-1DO-24DC-..
WARNING: Loss of functional safety
Make sure that all safety switches and the safety relay have the same ground potential.
WARNING: Risk due to unexpected machine startup
Cross-circuit between A2 (0 V) and the cable of the reset button for connecting S34 of the
safety relay can result in automatic machine startup.
Avoid cross-circuit between A2 (0 V) and the cable from the reset button to S34 by
means of design measures, e.g., protected cable installation.
See fault exclusion according to EN ISO 13849-2.
Also observe the documentation for all other devices used together with the safety switch.
