5FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
This chapter describes parameters in relation to functional safety. First of all, in
accordance with IEC 61508, safety means that a system is free of unwarranted risks.
Functional safety is the part of the overall safety, which ensures that a safety system's
response to its input conditions is free of errors. Internal safety-related device errors must
be detected and brought into a safe condition in the process.
5.1 Safety-related parameters
The following table lists the safety-related parameters of the Safety Module (BM5-O-SAF-
001) for an operation of 20 years. Safety-related parameters of local I/O terminals and

CAUTION!
If the user calculates his safety ap
plication with 20 years for the specified values, the
safety module will have to be decommissioned and sent back to the manufacturer
within not more than 20 years. The user cannot perform a proof test.
