* The dry or non-floating information refers to the technical properties of the input signals:
Dry-contacts input signals, e.g. from emergency stop control devices, safety switches, interlocking devices, safety solenoid switches and similar.
Non-floating input signals, e.g. PNP outputs from optoelectronic protective devices such as safety light curtains, laser scanners etc. but also from safety
sensors from Schmersal CSS or AZM200 ranges.
Selectable, input signals are monitored without cross short recognition. Outputs from optoelectronic protective devices can be directly connected, or dry
contacts can be monitored up to a PL d.

system. A minimum con-
figuration consists of a CPU
module and a power supply
module. The CPU can trigger
up to 15 modules so that
additional input and output
modules can be added at a
later date as required and
integrated into the complete
system with little effort.
All modules can be easily

version
This operating mode allows
the real capacity and flex-
ibility of PROTECT PSC to
be demonstrated. All inputs
and outputs of the entire
system are assigned via
a programming language
(ladder) corresponding to
IEC61131. Logic functions,
e.g. AND and OR, as well as
other dependencies can be
freely programmed.
