Description

The safety edge module LG 5944 monitors safety edges with a permittedswitching current of ≥ 10mA. It enables or disables a safety circuit and can be used to protect men and machine. To avoid a damage of the safety edges by excessive currents, the current provided by the LG 5944 is limited to 10 mA even in the case of a short circuit.
