Intended use
The module may be used for failsafe applications in system environment B (automation
system PSS 4000).
The modules PSSu E F AI U and PSSu E F AI UT 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.
To guarantee safety integrity you will need to use 2 analogue input modules (2 PSSu E F AI
U or one PSSu E F AI U + one PSSu E F AI I). 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 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.
}
We recommend that you monitor a defined measuring range of 2 … 10 V, as an open
circuit or short circuit cannot be detected at 0 V, for example.
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 2 … 10 V.
The module PSSu E F AI UT is suitable for use where there are increased environmental
requirements (see Technical Details).
The module PSSu E F AI UR 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.
The following is deemed improper use in particular:
}
Any component, technical or electrical modification to the module
}
Use of the module outside the areas described in this manual
}
Any use of the module that is not in accordance with the technical details.
