The safety-relevant parameters are transferred to the new component when

the safety application is restarted.

A further highlight of the EL1918 is the integration of the functionality of the

EL6910 TwinSAFE Logic. The EL1918 can also be used as a safety controller

at any time. In the default case, the EL1918 is a simple input terminal,

whose input signals are transmitted via FSoE to a TwinSAFE Logic-capable

component. It can be used directly as a safety controller in order to process

input signals directly in the terminal so as to forward only accumulated

information to a TwinSAFE Logic, or a complete safety application can be

implemented on the EL1918. The range of functions corresponds to that of

the EL6910. The only difference is the limitation of the number of possible

safe connections to 128. Apart from that, all the advantages of the new

generation of safety controllers can be used (see EL6910 customizing,

incremental download, analog value processing, etc.).
