Abstract:
A safety switching device module arrangement for driving at least one actuator in response to a safety switching event represented by a safety transmitter, said module arrangement comprising:a plurality of input module places each adapted to accommodate an input module, a plurality of output module places each adapted to accommodate an output module, at least one input module adapted to process an input signal received from said safety transmitter, said at least one input module generating at least one output signal in correspondence to said safety switching event, and a plurality of output modules, each of said output modules being adapted for receiving said output signal and being configured for driving an actuator in response to said output signal, wherein said input module places and said output modules places are physically arranged in a series forming a series of module places such that said at least one input module and said output modules each have a defined position within said series, and wherein said input module places and said output module places are configured so that the associated signal connectivity between said input module and said output modules is determined by the position of said input module within said series of module places.
