Preface
About This Publication
This manual explains how the Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 drives can be used
in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) CL3, Performance Level [PLe], or Category
(CAT) 4 applications. It describes the safety requirements, including PFD and
PFH values and application verification information, and provides information
on configuring and troubleshooting the Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 drives
with safe speed monitoring.
Audience
Use this manual if you are responsible for designing, configuring, or
troubleshooting safety applications that use the Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500
drives with safe speed monitoring.
You must have a basic understanding of electrical circuitry and familiarity with
Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 drives. You must also be trained and experienced
in the creation, operation, and maintenance of safety systems.
Conventions
In this manual, configuration parameters are in brackets. For example,
[Overspeed Response Time].
