2.22 Direct wiring of the TwinSAFE outputs to TwinSAFE
inputs (single-channel) (Category 1, PL c)
The output of an EL2904 is wired directly to a safe input of an EL1904; the test pulses and current
measurement of the outputs and the sensor test of the inputs are thereby deactivated. Hence, checks for
cross-circuit and external feed on the cable are not possible.
