39 Appendix39.6 Definitions for short-circuit proof outputs (in accordance with IEC/EN 61131-2)XN300 slice modules 02/24 MN050002EN Eaton.com 34039.6 Definitions for short-circuit proof outputs (in accordance with IEC/EN 61131-2)The following applies to outputs that the manufacturer declares to beshort-circuit proof:• The output must continue to work with all output currents that are higherthan I e max. but less than two times the rated operational current Ie.Moreover, the output must be able to withstand temporary overloads.The manufacturer must provide specifics regarding temporary overloadscenarios.• The protective device must trip for all foreseeable output currents thatare more than 20 times the rated value. After the protective device isreset or replaced, the PLC system must continue to work normally.• It may be necessary to repair or replace the module after the presenceof output currents within a range of 2 to 20 times or temporary overloadsthat exceed the limits specified by the manufacturer (see first bulletpoint).• No fire or electric shock hazards must arise when there is an overload oftwo times I e for 5 min. The highest temperature rise in the I/O insulationmust not exceed the values specified in 4.4.2. immediately after eachoverload.
