Chapter 9 Kinetix 5500 Safe Torque-off - Hardwired Safety
Important Safety Considerations
The system user is responsible for the following:
• Validation of any sensors or actuators connected to the system
• Completing a machine-level risk assessment
• Certification of the machine to the desired ISO 13849-1 performance
level or IEC 62061 SIL level
• Project management and proof testing in accordance with
ISO 13849
Category 3 Requirements According to ISO 13849-1
Safety-related parts are designed with these attributes:
• A single fault in any of these parts does not lead to the loss of the safety
function.
• A single fault is detected whenever reasonably practicable.
• Accumulation of undetected faults can lead to the loss of the safety
function and a failure to remove motion producing power from the
motor.
Stop Category Definition
Stop Category 0 as defined in IEC 60204 or safe torque-off as defined by
IEC 61800-5-2 is achieved with immediate removal of motion producing
power to the actuator.
Performance Level (PL) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
For safety-related control systems, Performance Level (PL), according to ISO
13849-1, and SIL levels, according to IEC 61508 and IEC 62061, include a
rating of the systems ability to perform its safety functions. All of the safety-
related components of the control system must be included in both a risk
assessment and the determination of the achieved levels.
Refer to the ISO 13849-1, IEC 61508, and IEC 62061 standards for complete
information on requirements for PL and SIL determination.
IMPORTANT In the event of a malfunction, the most likely stop category is Stop Category
0. When designing the machine application, timing and distance must be
considered for a coast to stop. For more information regarding stop
categories, refer to IEC 60204-1.
