Implementation of safety requirements from applicable standards

The safety-related function block has been developed according to the safety requirements (from applicable standards) listed in this section. All other requirements from these standards must be observed when imple­menting the safety-related function.

This section describes either how the function block meets the require­ments of the standards or what measures need to be taken to meet the requirements of the standards.

Standards

Context/Requirement

Implementation

EN ISO 12100-2

Start-up after failure of supply voltage/spontaneous restart

The function block supports a start-up inhibit and/or restart inhibit of the function block after

  • start-up of the Safety Logic Controller or activation of the func­tion block (S_StartReset = SAFEFALSE)

  • the ESPE that was previously trig­gered is no longer triggered (S_AutoReset = SAFEFALSE)

You are responsible for planning and implementing the start-up/restart behavior according to your risk analysis. To prevent an unintended start-up/restart, you may need to perform an additional function start once the safety-related function has been reset. This will depend on both the results of the risk analysis and the signal path of the reset signal.

EN ISO 13849-1

Manual reset device

The Reset input supports the function of a manual reset device.

NOTE:

Resetting does not occur with a negative (falling) edge, as specified by the EN ISO 13849-1 standard, but with a positive (rising) edge.

EN ISO 13849-1

Category B to 4

Single-channel or two-channel connection must be established depending on the category.

NOTE:

Cross-circuit monitoring  is not performed by the function block. It is your responsi­bility to implement this monitoring function outside of this function block in the safety-related control system. For example, an appropriate function block (Equivalent or Antivalent) must be connected upstream for the purpose of using two-channel ESPE.

EN 60204

Stop functions

The function block (S_ESPE_Out enable signal) executes stop category 0.

EN 61496-1

Start-up inhibit function

The function block supports a start-up inhibit and/or restart inhibit of the function block after

  • start-up of the Safety Logic Controller or activation of the func­tion block (S_StartReset = SAFEFALSE)

  • the ESPE that was previously trig­gered is no longer triggered (S_AutoReset = SAFEFALSE)

You are responsible for planning and implementing the start-up/restart behavior according to your risk analysis. To prevent an unintended start-up/restart, you may need to perform an additional function start once the safety-related function has been reset. This will depend on both the results of the risk analysis and the signal path of the reset signal.
