4.3 Superordinate control system
The superordinate control system can be run in safe on non-safe
mode. There are no special requirements for the superordinate
control system. It must be ensured that the connections are made
for safety technology comply with the requirements of
ENISO13849-1.
When using a safe superordinate control system, the sensor and
evaluation logic that must be executed safely can be implemented
in the superordinate control system. In this case, no additional
control system is needed.
It must be ensured that the safety connections comply with the
application-specific requirements of ENISO13849-1.
If an external relay is used, it may be necessary to use additional
signals for monitoring and safe state change. When using integ-
rated safe relays, this may be adopted by the safety control sys-
tem.
NOTE
In release mode, the superordinate control must check the plaus-
ibility of the redundant sensor signals provided by the safety con-
trol system. In release mode, the sensor signals are merely looped
through the safety control system.
