Determined Safety Characteristics
To determine the safety characteristics, the following assumption is made:
Ambient conditions correspond to an average industrial environment.
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) according to EN 61508:2010 or
Performance Level (PL) according to EN ISO 13849-1:2008
Load ≤ 700 Ω
