3.6 Functional safety
The STL4896 safety temperature limiter was developed according to the specifications of
the IEC 61508. This standard describes the functional safety of safety-related
programmable electrical and electronic systems.
The devices is a Class B subsystem with the SIL2 requirement (single-channel). The
safety function of the device relates to the detection and evaluation of the temperature and
the resulting mandatory contact position of the installed relay.
Safe state
The safe state of the device is only provided when the relay is in idle position (closed
current principle). If the internal diagnostic system recognises an error, the relay switches
to idle position. Therefore, a normally-open contact can be used for integration of the relay
changeover into the monitoring device.
Temperature probe
Connected temperature probes are monitored for cable breaks or short-circuits. With
thermocouples, this is only physically possible for double thermocouples. It is not
permissible to use simple thermocouples and connect the inputs in parallel with jumpers. If
separate probe fittings are used, they must be installed next to each other so that they both
detect the same temperature.
In case of faults and errors
If a fault occurs in the system, the cause must be rectified immediately. If the STL4896
safety temperature limiter is decommissioned for this purpose, the process must be
safeguarded in another manner. If there is a device error, we request that you send the
device to the factory with a brief description of the error.
