Fault 12 — Welded Safety Output Contact

What you'll learn

**Reported symptom:** The light curtain is interrupted, yet the contactor coil path remains continuous.

Lab time: ~14 minutes.

Lesson briefing

Welded Safety Output Contact

Reported symptom: The light curtain is interrupted, yet the contactor coil path remains continuous.

The circuit was commissioned from a known-good drawing. Treat every terminal as suspect, but test from source to load instead of guessing. Use voltage mode on an energised control circuit and continuity only after the simulated circuit is isolated.

Your task

Isolate the panel and prove whether KSR1 output 13–14 actually opens when the safety relay drops.

Choose the fault category only when the measurements support it.

Hints

Hint 1

First confirm both OSSD inputs change state so the fault is not at the curtain.
