Chapter 5 Safety I/O Module Features
Safety Relay Output
Module Features
This section describes features that are available only on the FLEX 5000 relay
4-point safety output modules.
The 5094-OW4IS and 5094-OW4ISXT relay modules are safety output
modules that use 4-point safety outputs.
Safety Application Suitability Levels
Tab le 17 describes the safety application suitability levels for a 5094-OW4IS or
5094-OW4ISXT module.
Safety Relay Output Module in CIP Safety Systems
The following apply to the safety relay outputs:
• You can connect safety devices, such as safety relays, safety contactors.
• Diagnostics. See Status and Fault Information in Module Properties
Categories.
• Safety relay output points are configured as the following:
–Not Used
–Safety
The safety relay module is rated up to 2A/channel when all 4 channels are used in
5…30V DC mode or 125/240V AC, 50/60 Hz mode. This module can also be
used in 5…30V DC applications requiring up to 4A/channel with the restriction
of using only channels 0 and 1; channels 2 and 3 are unused.
Snubber circuit is required when the relay output is used to drive inductive load.
See the module wiring diagram requirements on page 189

Suitability Level Conditions Notes
Applications that are rated up to, and including,
SIL CL2, PLd, Cat.3, as defined in IEC 61508, IEC
61551, IEC 62061, and ISO 13849-1
The modules uses single-channel mode
– Signal state change at least once a year
Consider the following:
• To achieve SIL CL3 single-channel, the actuator that is used
must be SIL CL3 single-channel as well.
• Use sheathed cable or cable trunk to separate channel
wiring to mitigate short-circuit fault.
• Fuse with proper rating should be connected to prevent
relay contacts from overload and short circuit.
• To achieve the specific Safety Integrity Level, see
Appendix C, Application/Wiring Examples for Safety I/O
Modules on page 181
.
Applications that are rated up to, and including,
SIL CL3, PLe, Cat.4, as defined in IEC 61508, IEC
61551, IEC 62061, and ISO 13849-1
1. The modules use single-channel mode:
– Signal state change at least once a month
2. The modules use dual-channel mode:
– Ladder logical alternative toggle each channel at
least once a month
