Safety-related parameters

The following parameters are the safety-related parameters of the device:
Parameter ID Parameter name on
S1
S2
S3
S4
S5
S6
S7
To set these parameters, change the device mode to "Functional Safety disabled".
10.1.5.3

Device mode "Functional Safety enabled"

In "Functional Safety enabled" device mode, an internal diagnostics process of the device
performs the following safety-related checks:
● Sensor breakage monitoring
● Continuous testing of execution and logic behavior of CPU, analog-to-digital converter and
memory
● Temperature monitoring
● Pressure monitoring, depending on the setting of the Overload behavior [36] (Page 145)
parameter.
● Integrity of safety-related parameters
● Plausibility check of current output
When a safety-related critical error is detected in the device, the current output signal
corresponds to the fault current (≤ 3.55 mA) and is independent of the settings of the following
parameters:
Select fault current [10] (Page 124),
Lower fault current [11] (Page 124),
Upper fault current [12] (Page 125),
Lower saturation limit [13] (Page 125),
Note
As long as the device is in the "Functional Safety enabled" device mode, all parameters are
protected against changes.
● To change the parameters, disable Functional Safety.
