OSSD Inputs

Does a C.12 or C.15 have OSSD inputs? Ie. can I connect a light curtain with OSSD output direct to a C.12 or do I have to put a separate safety relay between the light curtain and the C.12?

I can't see mention of OSSD inputs in the manual or in the software.

Yes, the ctrlX SAFETY hardware C.12 or C.15 can directly use OSSD outputs from a safety device as inputs to SAFEX control. Have a look to the How-To or technical sample: /ctrlx-automation-how-tos-qmglrz33/post/use-1-ctrlx-safety-to-control-smo-functions-of-several-ctrlx-drive-in-3-UBhzIAVbWbSZuB5

There the safe OSSD outputs of several ctrlX DRIVE is passed to the inputs of ctrlX SAFETY.

But: In fact it is not a function of the inputs but of the outputs: The OSSD cyclic check has to be done on the output device.ย
