Swright Posts: 26 Rating: (0)	I am searching for definition of the pin assignments of M12 connectors, standard, Y, and Y-II. I am curious as towhy the Y-II connection is used on safety rated modules. Can anyone help me? Thanks

In my opinion, the Y-II connector allows to have two leads for power supply. And a failsafe module deivers two sensor supplies, one for each sensor (see p 368). To be able to detect cross-connections (short-circuits) between channels. I believe that this is the reason.
