machine and the current valid safety guidelines and
•
have access to the operating instructions of the expansion module and have read
and familiarised themselves with them.
3.2 Field of use for the device
The UE103OS expansion module can be used:
•
in ac
cordance with EN ISO 13 849 up to PL e and category 4
•
in accordance with EN 62 061 to SILCL3
•
in accordance with IEC 61 508 up to SIL3
The actual performance level or SIL claim limit achieved depends on the external cir‐
cuit, the design of the wiring, the selection of the control switch and its placement on
the machine.
The UE10-3OS expansion module has been evaluated to UL 508.
The UE10-3OS expansion module is used for:
•
electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) with monitored active output signal
switching device (OSSD): single-channel, dual-channel (in accordance with
IEC 61 4961)
•
safety devices with monitored semiconductor outputs, e.g. Flexi Classic and Flexi
Soft
The UE10-3OS has no restart interlock and no external device monitoring.
