COMMISSIONING
This chapter shows the considerations when checking the entire system and performing periodic inspection.
9.1
Validation of Application
System commissioning can be performed only when the validation of the whole system was successful.
Validation may only be performed by professionals trained accordingly.
Additionally, regular testing is required after the commissioning.
Check the following items for validation. The result and system configuration should be recorded in a document.
• Check if the wiring of components for outputs corresponds to the required performance level (PL) in accordance with EN
ISO 13849-1, SIL in accordance with IEC 61508, or SILCL in accordance with EN 62061.
• Check the devices connected to the FX5-SF-MU4T5/FX5-SF-8DI4 in accordance with the considerations for inspection
described in the respective manuals.
• Clearly mark all connection cables and plugs of the FX5-SF-MU4T5/FX5-SF-8DI4.
• 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 applications in particular.
9.2
Considerations for Inspection
Tests before the first commissioning
Check the protective equipment as described below and in accordance with the applicable standards and regulations.
• Check the effectiveness of the protective equipment installed to the machine, using all selectable operating modes and
functions.
• Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine fitted with FX5-SF-MU4T5/FX5-SF-8DI4 are instructed by the qualified
safety personnel of the machine owner before beginning work. Instructing the operating personnel is the responsibility of
the machine owner.
Regular testing
In order to reach SILCL3 in accordance with EN 62061, the following test must be made at least every 365 days.
• Turn OFF the power of the FX5-SF-MU4T5/FX5-SF-8DI4.
• Turn ON the power of the FX5-SF-MU4T5/FX5-SF-8DI4.
• Check all the safety functions of the connected sensors.
Regular inspection for a protective equipment
• Protection equipment should be inspected by a mechanic who is qualified to carry out safety inspections.
• Check the system following the inspection intervals specified in the national rules and regulations. Any changes on the
machine and illegal manipulations of the protective equipment after the first commissioning can be detected.
• Safety functions should be checked at the specified period of time. The effectiveness of the protective equipment must be
tested by qualified personnel.
• If any modifications have been made to the machine or the protective equipment, or if the safety extension module has
been changed or repaired, check the system again as specified in "Checklist for Manufacturer". (

for Manufacturer)
• Conduct regular or daily inspections to keep the safety extension module in an optimal operation mode.
• Check that the implementation of the safety extension module fulfills all the technical data of the device.
• Check that the installation condition and wiring of the safety extension module are correct.
• Regularly verify that the safety functions fulfill the requirements of the application as well as all relevant regulations and
standards to ensure the reliability of the safety functions.
