In a fail-safe configuration, removing the module disables all
outputs.

Fault Tolerant Configuration

For fault tolerant operation, two isolated Guarded output
modules are connected in parallel as shown in Figure 5. In
this configuration, operation continues even if one module
fails.

In the fault tolerant configuration, a failed module can be
removed and replaced without interrupting operation of the
loads.
