Safety Concept
This chapter describes the safety performance level concept and how the
Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 drives can meet the requirements of Performance
Level e (PLe) and safety category 4 (CAT 4) per EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL3
per IEC EN 61508, EN 61800-5-2, and EN 62061.
Safety Certification
The TÜV Rheinland group has approved the Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500
servo drives for use in safety-related applications up to ISO 13849-1 Performance
Level e (PLe) and category 4, SIL CL3 per IEC EN 61508, EN 61800-5-2 and
EN 62061 where removing the motion producing power is considered to be the
safe state. All of the examples related to I/O included in this manual are based on
achieving de-energization as the safe state for typical Machine Safety and
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems.
