Chapter 9 Kinetix 5500 Safe Torque Off - Hardwired Safety
Probability of Dangerous
Failure Per Hour
Safety-related systems are classified as operating in a High-demand/
continuous mode. The SIL value for a High-demand/continuous mode safety-
related system is directly related to the probability of a dangerous failure
occurring per hour (PFH).
PFH calculation is based on the equations from IEC 61508 and shows worst-
case values. Table 72
provides data for a 20-year proof test interval and
demonstrates the worst-case effect of various configuration changes on the
data.

Safe Torque Off Connector
Data
The 10-pin connector consists of two parallel 5-pin rows for cascading safety
connections from drive-to-drive in multi-axis configurations.

IMPORTANT Determination of safety parameters is based on the assumptions that
the system operates in High-demand mode and that the safety
function is requested at least once every three months.
