Measures required to achieve a specific safety
integrity level
The safety integrity level (SIL, SIL CL, performance level, and category) that can be
achieved is specified for each connection example.
SIL/SIL CL
When the SIL/SIL CL is specified, the module takes up 1% of the specified SIL/SIL CL.
Performance level
Category
In order to actually achieve the specified category, the required measures listed below
must be implemented.
Cat. 2
– Use proven and basic safety principles according to EN ISO 13849-2.
– Use appropriately qualified actuators (see "Requirements for controlled
devices/actuators" on page 2-4).
– Please note that mechanical failure of the switching device can result in the loss of the
safety function.
– Prevent the welding of contacts on the connected contactors or safety relays with
appropriate protection against overcurrent and surge voltage.
– Please note that
a single
error can result in the loss of the safety function between
tests.
– Ensure that the external wiring is tested by the machine control system on machine
startup and at suitable intervals. This test must detect the loss of the safety function.
– In the event of an error, either safe disconnection must be implemented or a warning
(optical and/or audible) must be generated depending on the application.
Please also refer to "Achievable safety depending on the modules used" on page A-30.
Use the relevant standard to determine the probability of failure in your application
according to EN 61508 (SIL) and EN 62061 (SIL CL).
