Examples of electrical connections and reachable SIL (IEC 61508), max. SIL (IEC 62061) and PL (ISO 13849-1) with AI581-S module are presented below.




NOTICE

Whenever DC = High is used in the circuit examples with safety analog inputs, the following measure from ISO 13849-1⮫ [10] is used with AI581-S module: Cross monitoring of input signals and intermediate results within the logic (L), and temporal and logical software monitor of the program flow and detection of static faults and short circuits (for multiple I/O).
Whenever DC = Medium is used in the circuit examples with safety analog inputs, any of the measures for input devices with DC ³ 90 % can be used from ISO 13849-1⮫ [10].
