Any short-circuit between the outputs or between the outputs and 24VDC or 0VDC power supply isdetected by the light curtain.SIGNAL NAME CONDITION MEANINGOSSD1English24VDC Light curtain free condition.OSSD2OSSD1 Light curtain occupiedor fault detected condition0VDCOSSD2Table 17 - Status of the outputs8540738 • 2nd December 2009 • Rev.2 23
