Functional Safety; Safety-Related Parameters - Baumuller BM5-O-SAF-000 Operating Instructions Manual

This chapter describes parameters in relation to functional safety. First of all, in
accordance with IEC 61508, safety means that a system is free of unwarranted risks.
Functional safety is the part of the overall safety, which ensures that a safety system's
response to its input conditions is free of errors. Internal safety-related device errors must
be detected and brought into a safe condition in the process.
