Introduction

1.3 Symbols Used

This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative
messages.

Warning Messages

You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. It is mandatory
that you observe these warning messages for your personal safety and in order to avoid prop­erty damage.

Depending on the risk level, the warning messages are displayed in descending order as fol­lows:

Danger!

This symbol indicates an imminent danger.

Non-observance will result in personal injury or death.

Warning!

This symbol indicates a possible fault or danger.

Non-observance may cause personal injury or serious property damage.

Caution!

This symbol indicates a possible fault.

Non-observance could interrupt the device and any connected systems and plants, or result in
their complete failure.

Informative Symbols

Note

This symbol brings important information to your attention.

Action

This symbol indicates a paragraph with instructions. You are prompted to perform an action or
a sequence of actions.

1.4 Declaration of Conformity

This product was developed and manufactured in line with the applicable European standards
and directives.

Note

A declaration of conformity can be requested from the manufacturer.

The product manufacturer, Pepperl+Fuchs Group, 68307 Mannheim, Germany, has a certified
quality assurance system that conforms to ISO 9001.

Safety

2.1 Intended Use

When used as intended, the AS-Interface safety module allows the operation of sensor-con­trolled personal protective equipment up to category 4 and PL e as per ISO 13849 or up to SIL
3 as per EN/IEC 61508 and EN/IEC 62061 in combination with an appropriately programmed
AS-Interface safety monitor. The safety level of the application is determined either via a risk
analysis, e.g., in accordance with EN 1050, or is taken from a C standard.

2.2 Peripheral Requirements

Safety Monitor Requirements

The module must only be used as a safety-related slave in an AS-Interface segment with the
corresponding AS-Interface safety monitor as intended. The AS-Interface safety monitor must
meet the requirements of the "Specification of Safe AS-Interface Transmission" system specifi­cation (version 2.01) dated 05/12/2000.

To evaluate a safety-related function in accordance with a safety standard, all components
found in the function must be evaluated in accordance with this standard.

The wiring and programming of the safety monitor determine whether or not the required safety
function performs correctly. This also applies to the required safety response after a code fault
or failure (see also safety monitor documentation). The safety function (including all safety­related sensors) must be checked prior to initial commissioning. The safety monitor PL cate­gory or SIL must, as a minimum, comply with the PL category or SIL required by the applica­tion.

Cabling Requirements

The requirements set out in EN/IEC 60204-1 or similar must always be observed. The require­ments for the external cabling and selection of connected sensors are based both on the level
of functionality to be achieved, and on the required category (ISO 13849-1, EN/IEC 61508, or
EN/IEC 62061).

Switches or Mechanical Contacts

The switches must be positive opening. Combinations of switches that provide an equivalent
level of safety (fault behavior analysis) can be used.

2.3 General safety instructions

Danger!

Any type of operation other than what is described in the instructions places the safety and
functionality of the module and connected systems in question.

The module can only be operated by trained professionals in accordance with the available
instruction manual.

Connecting modules and performing maintenance tasks while the devices are connected to a
power source must only be performed by trained electrical specialists.

If malfunctions cannot be eliminated, the module must be taken out of operation and protected
from being inadvertently placed back in operation.

Repairs must only be performed directly by the manufacturer.

Making changes to or tampering with the device is not permitted and will render the warranty
void.

When operating the device, care must be taken to ensure that the requirements for installation
of a housing in IP20 are also maintained.

Safety

Note

The plant management is responsible for heeding local safety regulations.

2.4 Transfer time of the safety-relevant information

The transfer time depends essentially on the monitor. The corresponding documentation and
the switch-off times of the actuators must be observed.

2.5 Probability of Failure on Demand Calculation

To calculate the probability of dangerous failure on demand (PFD) of a safety-related function,
the PFD values for all components used within this function must be taken into consideration. In
the case of dual-channel applications, the AS-Interface safe input module does not significantly
contribute to the PFD or PFH (probability of dangerous failure per hour) of the overall system.

The PFD and PFH values for single-channel application can be found in the data sheet. The
PFD or PFH values of the other components, in particular the safety monitor, can be found in
the relevant documentation.
