Notes on the documentation Notes on information security The products of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG (Beckhoff), insofar as they can be accessed online, are equipped with security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
• ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems – Part 1: General principles for design Beckhoff is not responsible for the safe operation of the system. No disposal in domestic waste Products marked with a crossed-out waste bin must not be disposed of with domestic waste.
Engineering tools allowed are TE9000 - TwinCAT 3 Safety Editor and TE9200 - TwinSAFE Loader. Use only the latest versions of the engineering tools. You will find this on the Beckhoff website. Procedures or engineering tools that deviate from this are not covered by the certificate. This is especially true for externally generated xml files for the TwinSAFE import.
De-energize and switch off components before working on them Check all safety-relevant equipment for functionality before working on the TwinSAFE component. Secure the working environment. Secure the machine or plant against being inadvertently started up. Observe the chapter Decommissioning [} 47]. Version: 1.0.0 EP2911-0001...

The following example shows the calculation for a TwinSAFE component at an operating altitude of 4000 m. Permissible maximum ambient temperature up to 2450 m above sea level = 50 °C Permissible maximum ambient temperature up to 4000 m above sea level = 50°C * 0.8 = 40 °C EP2911-0001 Version: 1.0.0...

This operating state is a safe state and temporarily shuts down the software module. An Error Acknowledge resets the operating state. Voltage ratios with functional outputs switched off In the operating state with the functional outputs switched off, there are two special circuit-related features, which are described below. EP2911-0001 Version: 1.0.0...
The height of this voltage level depends on the resistance of the connected loads and can be found in the following table. Resistance [kΩ] Pulse [V] 14.6 23.5 14.4 18.8 14.4 14.1 14.1 13.7 13.2 12.8 12.3 11.9 11.4 11.4 Version: 1.0.0 EP2911-0001...
