2.3 Examples / Implementation
The following illustrates several examples of solutions for the safety functions STO and SS1.
2.3.1 STO function
Normally, a protective switching device is used to implement a safety function. The safety category of the
function is determined by the component with the lowest category.
In this example, Safety Category 4 as per DIN ISO 13849-1 can be achieved. The prerequisite for this is that
the emergency stop button, the protective switching device and the wiring fulfil the requirements for Category
4. For example, this can be achieved as follows:
Redundant protective switching device with self-monitoring
Dual-channel input circuit with short-circuit recognition (and appropriate emergency stop button)
Safety output with periodic switch-off tests (OSSD)
Elimination of errors as per DIN ISO 13849-2 for the wiring between the switching device and the input
terminals of the safe shut-down method used, by the use of a shielded cable and connection of the
shield at both ends.
If the "Safe pulse block" triggers for an enabled frequency inverter, error E018 (18.0 safety
circuit) is triggered.
The typical reaction time can be reduced by the additional use of a digital input (e.g.: DIN1), which must be
parameterised for the function "Block voltage":
Note: The optional filter on the digital input is only required in environments with heavy interference.
A second safety output is required to control the digital input.
