7.3 Status signals via output contacts (digital outputs) of standard controls
Actuator controls offer the possibility of signaling status information on safety-related
functions via output contacts (DOUT outputs).
Information
Status signals via DOUT outputs are not part of a safety function! They may not be used in
lieu of safety-related signals within a safety instrumented system. However, they can be used
as additional information on the standard PLC.
Information
If digital inputs or outputs of standard controls are connected to the safety PLC, imperatively
ensure sufficient absence of interference of all non-safety-related system components with
regard to the safety function. The absence of interference must be guaranteed even in case
of standard component faults. For this, galvanic isolation between safety-related and non
safety-related system components is important (but not necessarily sufficient).
Available signals:
Safe ESD
Safe STOP
SIL FAULT
SIL Function active
7.4 Signal via fieldbus of standard controls
For actuator controls in fieldbus interface version, status information on the safety-related
functions is provided in the process representation.
Information
Status signals via fieldbus are not part of a safety function! They may not be integrated in a
safety-related system. They can be used as additional information on the standard PLC, for
example.
Signals available in process representation:
Safe ESD
BIT: Safe STOP
BIT: SIL FAULT
BIT: SIL Function active
For further information on parameter configuration via fieldbus interface refer to manual
(Device integration fieldbus).
