Determining cable lengths using the example table
Example: 6 switches are to be used in series. Cabling with a length of 40 m is
routed from a safety relay in the control cabinet to the last switch (#6) (conduc-
tor cross-section 0.34 mm²). Cables with a length of 20 m each are connected
between the individual CES-I-AR safety switches.
Figure 1: Circuit example with six CES-I-AR
A safety relay is connected downstream which consumes 75 mA on each of the
two safety inputs. This operates over the whole temperature range with a voltage
of 19.2 V (corresponds to 24 V -20%).
All the relevant values can now be determined using the example table:
1. Select the corresponding section in the column n (max. number of switches).
Here: 6 switches.
2. In column I
out
(possible output current per channel FO1A/FO1B), find a current
greater than or equal to 75 mA. Here: 100 mA.
¨ It is then possible to determine the maximum cable length from the last switch
(#6) to the control system from column l
1
. Here: a length of 50 m is permissible
with a conductor cross-section of 0.34 mm².
Result: The desired cable length l
1
of 40 m is below the permitted value from the
table. The overall length of the switch chain l
max
of 140 m is less than the maximum
value of 200 m.
