Proper use
The Safety Interface Device must only be used after it
has been selected in accordance with the respectively
applicable instructions and relevant standards, rules and
regulations regarding labor protection and occupational
safety, and after it has been installed on the machine,
connected, commissioned, and checked by a competent
person.
• When selecting the Safety Interface Device it must be
ensured that its safety-related capability meets or
exceeds the required performance level PLr ascertai-
ned in the risk assessment.
The following table shows the safety-related characteri-
stic parameters of the MSI-s/R modular Safety Interface
Devices.

= mean number of annual actuations, see C.4.2 and C.4.3 of ISO 13849-1: 2008
Use the following formula to calculate the mean number of annual actuations:
In doing so, make the following assumptions with regard to the use of the component:
h
