Fault reaction timePermalink

This is the web edition of the original ‎⮫ AC500-S safety user manual, version 1.3.2. This web edition is provided for quick reference only. The original safety user manual must be used to meet functional safety application requirements.

Fault reaction time is the maximum time between the appearance of the fault in the system and the trigger of pre-defined error reactions. The table below provides an overview on the longest fault reaction times in AC500-S safety modules.
