3RK3 Basic central unit

Properties
The 3RK3 Basic central unit is the basic component of the MSS for safety-related control
functions. It can be used up to Category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1, SIL 3 in accordance
with IEC 61508, and PL e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2006.
● Up to 7 expansion modules can be connected to the 3RK3 Basic central unit.
● An additional interface module (e.g. DP interface) can be used to upload diagnostics and
process data to a PLC.
● The 3RK3 Basic central unit can be parameterized using MSS ES via the PC cable.
Inputs and outputs
The 3RK3 Basic central unit has the following inputs and outputs:
● 8 safety-related, freely parameterizable sensor inputs
● 1 safety-related, redundant relay output.
If you use this output in conjunction with 2-channel shutdown, a fault short-circuit (e.g. P
or M short-circuit) is required. This can be implemented within a control cabinet or by
installing the connection cables in such a way that they are protected.
● 1 safety-related, redundant, solid-state output
