Abstract

A safe digital input circuit with a first input and a second input for reading in a sensor signal with a clock generator to generate a clock signal is shown. The safe digital input circuit includes a first clock output and a second clock output for connecting sensors to safely shut down a plant. A first and a second signal line are connected to a clock generator output of the clock generator to forward the clock signal to the first and second clock output.
