Redundant digital output modules
Fault-tolerant control of a final controlling element can be achieved by connecting two
outputs of two digital output modules or fail-safe digital output modules in parallel (1-out-of-2
configuration).
Figure 13-9
The digital output modules must be connected to a common load voltage supply.
You will find connection examples in Appendix Connection examples for redundant I/Os
(Page 461).
Interconnection using external diodes <-> without external diodes
The table below lists the redundant digital output modules which in redundant mode you
should interconnect using external diodes:
