1.2.5.3 Wiring the safety inputs
Attention
For SIL 3, PL e, cat.3 it is required to detect or prevent cabling faults. This can be achieved by:
sending test pulses from the PLC OR
ensure fault exclusion for wiring “Short circuit between any two conductors” according to ISO 13849-
2:2012 between signals STO-SBC 1 and STO SBC 2. The fault exclusion can be claimed by:
permanently connected (fixed) and protected against external damage, e.g. by cable ducting,
armouring, OR
separate multicore cables, OR
installation within an electrical enclosure, OR
individually shielded with earth connection.
