2.7.2 Limits of the safety-related parts
Assessment of the valve with IO-Link interface according to ISO 13849-2:
• Potential failures or unidentified error states of the valve with IO-Link interface
always require application-dependent and suitable system-related measures
according to EN 13849-1 (see chapter 2.7.1).
• When using the valve with IO-Link interface in compliance with categories
2 or 3 according to EN13849-1, adequate cyclic diagnosis or monitoring of the
valve function outside of the valve by the control system must be implemented
by the machine integrator. Without suitable diagnostic measures, only cat.
B or 1 according to EN13849-1 can be reached.
2.7.3 Residual risks/error states
The following residual risks or error states may occur and must be taken into
account by appropriate system-related measures:
• Complete failure of the electronics of the valve
• Faulty output of operating states
• Uncontrolled movement of the valve control spool (may lead to uncontrolled
movement of the cylinder)
• Fuse protection in the case of short-circuits in the electronics of the valve with
IO-Link interface by means of appropriate protection and design of the supply line
(fuse protection against currents >4 A).
