To meet safety requirements, positively driven feedback contacts must be evaluated in a manner that is appropriate for safety technology. This new X20 module evaluates this data internally, making it just as easy to use the six safe relay outputs as it is to use semiconductor-based outputs. The digital output module has single-channel isolated outputs with a maximum switching capacity of 230 VAC / 6 A or 24 VDC / 6 A.
