The pin connection of the "transmitter" socket on the module allows the protected area width of an ESPE (electro-sensitive protective equipment) to be set to "range high".
The configuration signal on the AS-i module for setting the protected area width is not safety-related.
If the protected area width is to be set to "range low", use an EY3092 adapter cable which can be ordered separately.
ESPE receivers usually have an 8-pole M12 connector.
Use an adapter cable for connection to a 5-pole M12 socket. The EY3090 adapter cable which can be ordered separately is rated for the automatic operating mode of the ESPE.

8.4 Electronic contacts
The safe inputs correspond to type 2 digital inputs of EN 61131-2.
The electronic switching contacts are connected via the SI-1/2 socket.
The device supports the connection of fail-safe electronic sensors with 2 OSSD outputs. The duration of the switch-off test pulses of electronic sensors must not be longer than 1 ms.
Ensure a safe separation between the external LED and the normally closed contact. In the configuration software for the safety monitor the monitoring modules can be used as dual-channel positively guided module, dual-channel dependent module and dual-channel dependent module with filtering.
Do not connect any of the pins to an external potential since they are electrically connected to the AS-i cable.
The wiring influences the achievable Performance Level PL or the Safety Integrity Level SIL. The requirements for Performance Level d to ISO 13849-1 or SIL 2 to IEC 61508 are met.
Performance Level e according to ISO 13849-1 or SIL 3 to 61508 can be reached if both outputs of the protective equipment feature cross-fault monitoring.
If the protective equipment does not provide this feature, the cabling between the contacts to be monitored and the module must be selected in a way to exclude cross faults between the wires (see ISO 13849-2).
