Chain structure:

•

The circuit diagram SCS17/0514D is a conceptual schematic diagram

and is limited to present the safety function with only the relevant safety
components.

•

For the designated architecture of category 4, two redundant channels

are implemented.

•

The circuit arrangement can be divided into three function blocks per

channel with the input (I), logic (L) and output (O) blocks on each
channel.

•

The possibility of fault detection by monitoring the outputs is indicated by

the broken lines (see figure 1).

•

The functional channel can be represented by an emergency pushbutton

(i.e. B1) that would correspond to the input (see figure 2).

•

The safety module (TM3SAF5R(G)) corresponds to the logic block

(L1/L2), which maintains the internal redundancy of the safety circuits
required for this architecture.

•

The output block is represented by two redundant contactors (K3 and K4)

that are monitored by the logic block (safety module) to detect any failure.

•

The complete wiring must be in accordance to EN 60204-1 and the

necessary means to avoid short circuits has to be provided (EN ISO
13849-2 Table D.4).

Safety level calculation:

•

A required performance level (PL

) must be specified for each

intended safety function following a risk evaluation. The
performance level (PL) attained by the control system must
be validated by verifying if it is greater than or equal to the
PL

•

The emergency stop push button is operated once a month.

•

Mean time to dangerous failure (MTTF

) values exceeding

100 years will be limited to this value in order for the
component reliability not to be overstated in comparison with
the other main influencing variables such as the architecture
or tests.

•

A B10

value of 1 500 000 cycles is stated for the mechanical

aspects of S1. In accordance with the assumed n

value, the

MTTF

would be 4 090 909 years for each component.

•

These values are therefore limited to 100 years ("high").

•

A PFH

value of 5 x 10

-9

is stated for the safety module

(TM3SAF5R(G)). This value comes directly from the safety
device data and it is certified by an accepted standards body.

•

For the redundant contactors K3 and K4, the B10 value

corresponds under nominal load to an electrical lifetime of
1 000 000 switching cycles. If 73% of failures are assumed to
be dangerous, the B10d value is 1 369 863 operations. With
the assumed value for nop, it results in a MTTFd of
3 735 990 years for each component. These values are
therefore limited to 100 years ("high").

•

Measures against common cause failures (Annex F of EN

ISO 13849-1) must attain at least 65 points (i.e. separation
(15), overvoltage protection etc. (15) and environmental
conditions (25+10)).

•

The safety-related control system corresponds to category 3

with high MTTF

. The complete functional safety chain

results in average probability of dangerous failure (PFH

) of

6.25 x 10

-8

•

This corresponds to PL e and SIL 3.
