SK 31 Safety Relay
6.5 Example of use
Safety-related monitoring of a sensor circuit with primary PLC or machine control.
For a functional test of the protection, the PLC/machine control performs a test prior to each dangerous
movement or in the non-dangerous phase/movement of the machine. If the test result is correct, the
PLC/machine control then initiates the movement or the next work step.

The SK 31 switching unit is only equipped with one input for sensors. Nevertheless, it is possible
to connect two or more sensors to the switching unit. For this purpose, the individual sensors are
connected in series according to figure 1.
