Connection of multiple base units:
Any number of base units can be connected via link modules. Two link
modules are required for a connection between two base units. Howev-
er, only a maximum of 4 link modules may be connected to any one base
unit.
Data transmission time:
The t
BUS
data transmission time is the time between the virtual output at
base unit 1 being set and the virtual input at base unit 2 becoming avail-
able (see "Technical details").
The maximum reaction time for series connection of n base units
This is the time between the activation of a safety function at the input
on one base unit and the switching of an output on the connected base
unit.
 The maximum reaction time t
SUM
includes the following times:
t
ON
: Input delay = 4 ms
t
COND
: Switch-off delay of semiconductor output = 30 ms
t
REL
: Switch-off delay of relay output = 50 ms
t
BUS
: Data transmission time between two base units = 35 ms
n: Number of connections between base units
The maximum reaction time t
SUM
for series connection of n base units
 On semiconductor outputs:
tS
UM
= t
ON
+ (n * t
BUS
) + t
COND
 On relay outputs:
t
SUM
= t
ON
+ (n * t
BUS
) + t
REL
CAUTION!
For signals that are forwarded or received via the link module, a
calculation must always be made in accordance with the above
formulas.
