4.2 Safety related characteristic data and wiring for the connected
sensors
The SMX modules have completely separated signal processing paths for each safety input.
This applies for both the digital and the analog inputs. Furthermore, measures for achieving
the highest possible DC-values have been implemented.
4.2.1 Digital sensors:
Digital inputs and outputs are generally of a completely redundant design, except the electro-
magnetic input terminal. The following list contains details for classification, the DC and the
achievable PI or SIL.
4.2.1.1 Characteristics of sensors / input elements
Two-channel input element in parallel connection (Cat. fault tolerance 1) with high DC caused by
signal in two channels and diagnose by means of cross-comparison in the PES
Two-channel input element in series connection (Cat. 4, fault tolerance 1) with low to medium DC caused by signal
processing in two channels and diagnose by means of cyclic testing
Single channel input element and dual channel processing with low to medium DC by signal processing in two
channels and diagnose by means of cyclic testing, PI / SIL depending on permissible fault exclusions
and test rate for input element.
