The following assumptions have to be made now:
The door switches S1/S2 are always actuated in opposite directions. Since the switches have different
values, but the complete protective door switch consists of a combination of break and make contacts
and both switches must function, the poorer of the two values (S1) can be taken for the combination!
There is a coupling coefficient between the components that are connected via two channels. Examples
are temperature, EMC, voltage peaks or signals between these components. This is assumed to be the
worst-case estimation, where ß =10%. EN 62061 contains a table with which this ß-factor can be
precisely determined. Further, it is assumed that all usual measures have been taken to prevent both
channels failing unsafely at the same time due to an error (e.g. overcurrent through relay contacts, over
temperature in the control cabinet).
This produces for the calculation of the PFH value for block 1:
