Line control
The safety inputs are supplied by the various control outputs
(2)
,
in such a manner
so as to monitor for short-circuits between the inputs, short-circuits between each
input and earth or the presence of residual voltages.
The controller, assisted by the control outputs, continuously tests all the connected
inputs. As soon as an error is detected on an input, all the outputs associated with this
input are disconnected. Safety outputs associated with other inputs remain active.
Configuration
Safety controllers XPS MC

are configurable and addressable using software
XPS MCWIN running on a PC. Connection accessories required: see page 4/13.
Connections
For connection of safety inputs and outputs, safety controllers XPS MC

can be
fitted with a choice of:
v
screw connectors type XPS MCTS

,
or
v
spring clip connectors type XPS MCTC
pp
.
These connectors are to be ordered separately, see page 4/13.

independent safety outputs = 6 solid-state safety outputs + 2 x 2 relay outputs (4 relay
outputs with guided contacts).
(2) 8
control outputs are available but they are not safety outputs.
