Functional Safety SJ2-SN, SJ3,5-S(1)N Introduction Safety Information Target Group, Personnel Responsibility for planning, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and dismounting lies with the plant operator. Only appropriately trained and qualified personnel may carry out mounting, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and dismounting of the product. The personnel must have read and understood the instruction manual and the further documentation.
Functional Safety SJ2-SN, SJ3,5-S(1)N Introduction Symbols Used This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative messages. Warning Messages You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. It is mandatory that you observe these warning messages for your personal safety and in order to avoid property damage.
In safety applications up to SIL 3, the device must be operated on a control unit for SIL 3 safety applications. Pepperl+Fuchs offers control units for SIL 3 safety applications, i. e. switch amplifier KFD2-SH-Ex1. Observe the limitations, see chapter 3.2.
Functional Safety SJ2-SN, SJ3,5-S(1)N Planning Planning System Structure 3.1.1 Low Demand Mode of Operation If there are two control loops, one for the standard operation and another one for the functional safety, then usually the demand rate for the safety loop is assumed to be less than once per year.
SIL 3 Application Only use the device in SIL 3 applications in combination with a control unit for SIL 3 safety applications from Pepperl+Fuchs, i. e. switch amplifier KFD2-SH-Ex1. • The device claims less than 25 % of the total failure rate for a SIL 3 safety loop.
Functional Safety SJ2-SN, SJ3,5-S(1)N Planning Safety Function and Safe State Safe State The safe state of the device is the high impedance state (low current). Applications with control units or safety functions where the safe state is the low impedance state (high current) were not evaluated.
Planning To ensure the safety of the safety loop according to SIL 3, only use control units for SIL 3 safety applications from Pepperl+Fuchs, i. e. switch amplifier KFD2- SH-Ex1. Reaction Time The reaction time for all safety functions is < 1 ms.
Functional Safety SJ2-SN, SJ3,5-S(1)N Planning Useful Lifetime Although a constant failure rate is assumed by the probabilistic estimation this only applies provided that the useful lifetime of components is not exceeded. Beyond this useful lifetime, the result of the probabilistic estimation is meaningless as the probability of failure significantly increases with time.
Connect the device in safety applications up to SIL 3 to a control unit for SIL 3 safety applications. Pepperl+Fuchs offers control units for SIL 3 safety applications, i. e. switch amplifier KFD2-SH-Ex1. Observe the limitations, see chapter 3.2. Configuration...
