Commissioning
Do not commission without a check by qualified safety personnel!
Before the initial commissioning of the system in which you are using a Flexi Classic modu-
lar safety controller, it must be checked and released documented by qualified safety
personnel.
Check the hazardous area!
You must ensure that no one is located in the hazardous area before commissioning.
=
Check the hazardous area and secure it against being entered by people (e.g. set up
warning signs, attach blocking ropes or similar). Observe the relevant laws and local
regulations.
8.1
Validation of the application
You may only commission the system if validation was successful. Validation may only be
performed by professionals trained accordingly.
The general acceptance comprises the following test points:
=
Check whether the connection of the components to the connections corresponds to
the required Performance Level in accordance with EN ISO 13
849-1 or to the SIL in
accordance with IEC 61
508 or the SILCL in accordance with EN 62
061.
=
Check the devices connected to the safety controller in accordance with the test notes
from the accompanying operating instructions.
You will find the “Tests before the first commissioning” chapter for this in the operating
instructions of the ESPE from SICK AG.
=
Clearly mark all connection cables and plugs at the safety controller.
=
Perform a complete verification of the safety functions of the system in each operating
mode and an error simulation. Observe the response times of the individual applica-
tions in particular.
Completely document the configuration of the system, the individual devices and the result
of the safety check.
