General Information 1.4 Definition of terms 1.4 Definition of terms Output switching element (safety output) of the AS-Interface safety monitor Element activated by the logic of the monitor which is able to safely switch off the downstream control elements. The output switching element may switch to or remain in the ON state only when all components are functioning as intended. Output circuit Consists of the two logically connected output switching elements. OSSD The safe AS-Interface compone

General Information 1.5 Abbreviations Slave Component for data transmission; the master cyclically addresses this component by its address. Only then does it generate an answer. Standard slave Slave for connecting non-safe sensors, actuators and other devices. Synchronisation time The maximum permissible temporal offset between the occurrence of two events which are dependent on one another. ON state Switched on, logical "1", TRUE. This state means that the device has agreed to validate the
