Safety level
The maximum achievable safety level depends on the encoder, the wiring and the operat-
ing mode of the PNOZ s30.
INFORMATION
The safety-related characteristic data of the PNOZ s30 and all other devices
that are used must be taken into account when calculating the safety level.
We recommend that you use the PAScal software tool to calculate the
safety function's SIL/PL values.
The safety assessments below only consider the subsystems
Sensor
and
PNOZ s30
. The
Actuator
subsystem depends on the application and must
also be considered in the overall assessment.

The values for
Category
and
DC
can be set for the sensor subsystem, bearing in mind the
restrictions stated in the respective chapter. The MTTFd value must be stated by the device
manufacturer.
Assuming that all faults are dangerous, MTTF = MTTFd can be set.
The characteristic value MTTF is a property of the sensor, which may only be stated by the
manufacturer.
Forced dynamisation:
When monitoring sensors with square output signals (TTL, HTL) or safe sensors, the axis
must be moved within 8 hours so that the signal changes on all the connected tracks.
