The EK1914 has safety parameters to adapt the functionality specifically to the respective safety-oriented requirements (e.g., 1

channel evaluation vs. 2-channel evaluation of the inputs, testing of the individual channels).

In addition, standard outputs can be activated for the EK1914. As a result, corresponding standard outputs are available in parallel

with and internally ANDed with the safe outputs of the EK1914. The safe output signals, which are controlled by a TwinSAFE Logic,

thus issue the safe release for the standard signals, which can then be triggered by the non-safety oriented control system

independently of the cycle of the safety controller and FSoE. This allows faster switching times of the outputs, provided that the

safety controller issues the necessary release for the output.

The safety parameters are not stored directly on the component, but are transmitted to the input terminal via a TwinSAFE Logic

capable component when the safety application is started. This simplifies service procedures, because in this case the component

can simply be replaced. The safety-relevant parameters are transferred to the new component when the safety application is

restarted.
