Siemens SINAMICS SIMOTICS S200 PROFINET - Response Time; Functional Safety

10.7.8 Response time
Technical dat
a
The following response time is applicable to the stop function control via the STO terminal. The
response time of the stop function is the time between the selection of the stop function and the
initiation of a stop response. The monitoring cycle (p9500) is 4ms.
The speci󹪝ed response time is applicable to a fault-free drive system as well as when a fault is
active in the system.

10.7.9 Functional safety

A system or machine is considered functionally safe if the safety-relevant parts of the protection
and control equipment function correctly.
Description of function
Safety, from the perspective of the object to be protected, cannot be split-up. The causes of
danger and therefore also the technical measures to prevent them can vary widely. This is the
reason that a distinction is made between various safety types (e.g. by specifying the cause of
potential hazards). "Functional safety" is involved if safety depends on the correct function.
To ensure the functional safety of a system or machine, the safety-related parts of the
protection and control devices must function correctly. In the case of a fault, systems must
respond in such a way that either the plant remains in a safe state or it is brought into
a safe state. In this case, it is necessary to use specially quali󹪝ed technology that ful󹪝lls
the requirements described in the associated Standards. The requirements to implement
functional safety are based on the following basic objectives:
• Avoiding systematic faults
• Controlling random faults or failures
Benchmarks for establishing whether or not a su󹪟cient level of functional safety has been
achieved include the probability of hazardous failures, the fault tolerance and the quality
that is to be guaranteed by avoiding systematic faults. This is expressed in the standards
using speci󹪝c classi󹪝cation. In EN61508, IEC62061 "Safety Integrity Level" (SIL) and
ENISO13849‑1 "Category" and "Performance Level" (PL).
