Intended use
The module may be used for failsafe applications in system environment B (automation
system PSS 4000).
The modules PSSu E F AI I and PSSu E F AI IT may be used as a safety component in
accordance with the Lifts Directive 95/16/EC, EN 811, EN 812 and EN 1151.
The programmable safety system should be installed in a protected environment that meets
at least the requirements of pollution degree 2. Example: Protected inside space or control
cabinet with protection class IP54 and corresponding air conditioning.
The module provides an analogue input.
The analogue input meets the requirements of EN IEC 62061: SIL CL 2. To achieve higher
safety values, two analogue inputs will need to be used. PL e ( Cat. 4 ) and SIL CL 3 can
be achieved as a result of redundant input data.
The module guarantees functional safety, but not the safety of the entire process.
Please note the following during configuration and within the user program:
}
With 1channel operation, check the feasibilty of the measured value with an anticip
ated measured value in order to detect measurement errors and offset errors on the
sensor, or to detect open circuit and short circuit between sensor and module.
}
With 1channel operation, use a sensor that meets the requirements of EN IEC 62061:
SIL CL 2.
}
With 2channel operation, check the feasibility by using two inputs and two sensors.
Take appropriate measures to avoid common cause errors in the sensor technology, by
using diverse sensors or a separate supply voltage for the sensors, for example.
}
Monitor a defined measuring range to detect open circuit or short circuit: we recom
mend 4 … 20 mA.
The measured value is attenuated through the input filter. At the cutoff frequency, the amp
litude of the measured value is 70 % of the amplitude of the input signal.
We strongly recommend the use of the following function blocks:
}
FS_AnalogueInputSingle (using one input)
}
FS_AnalogueInputDual (using two inputs)
The function blocks contain "Feasibility check" (only on FS_AnalogueInputDual) and "Limit
value monitoring" functions, which enable you to detect errors in the sensor as well as the
wiring. For the "Range monitoring" function we recommend that you use a measuring range
of 4 … 20 mA.
The module PSSu E F AI IT is suitable for use where there are increased environmental
requirements (see Technical Details).
The module PSSu E F AI IR is suitable for use where there are increased environmental
requirements demanded by railway applications (see Technical Details).
Intended use includes making the electrical installation EMCcompliant. Please refer to the
guidelines stated in the "PSSuniversal Installation Manual". The module is designed for use
in an industrial environment. It is not suitable for use in a domestic environment, as this can
lead to interference.
