6 Connection examples for safe outputs
6.1
Explanation of the examples
Depending on the type of wiring, the outputs of a module can achieve different safety
integrity levels (SIL, SIL CL, Cat., PL) at the same time (as long as the settings do not
contradict one another).
The following examples only describe the options for the electrical connection of controlled
devices/actuators to the safe outputs.
Should you have any questions regarding applications to be implemented, please contact
the GE Intelligent Platforms.
The following are specified for each example:
–
Basic specifications
The main data for the example is specified in the table.
–
Device diagnostics and behavior of the module in the event of an error
Diagnostic capability depends on the parameterization.
If a message is transmitted to the controller in the event of an error, the message is
specified in the tables. For information about the relevant error code, possible
remedies, and information about whether acknowledgment is required, please refer to
"Errors: Messages and removal" on page 8-1.
–
Typical parameterization
The table illustrates an example of all the parameters for the specified assignment.
Key for all tables in this section:
Errors (cross circuits, short circuits), which can be prevented by correct installation (e.g.,
protected cable installation, isolated cable installation, double insulation, use of ferrules)
are not described in the following tables.
Therefore, for example, only errors between outputs, which are on the same connector, are
described. For example, in the event of correct installation, cross circuits with outputs of
other connectors cannot occur.
