Examples of electrical connections and reachable SIL (IEC 61508), max. SIL (IEC 62061) and PL (ISO 13849-1) with DX581-S module are presented below. Note, that electrical connections presented for DI581-S safety input channels are also valid for DX581-S safety input channels.




NOTICE

Whenever DC = High is used in the circuit examples with safety digital inputs, the following measure from ISO 13849-1⮫ [10] is used with DX581-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 digital inputs, any of the measures for input devices with DC ³ 90 % can be used from ISO 13849-1⮫ [10].




NOTICE

Whenever DC = High is used in the circuit examples with safety digital outputs, the following measure from ISO 13849-1⮫ [10] is used with the DX581-S module: Cross monitoring of output 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 digital outputs, any of the measures for output devices with DC ³ 90 % can be used from ISO 13849-1⮫ [10].




DANGER

The reachable SIL (IEC 61508), max. SIL (IEC 62061) and PL (ISO 13849-1) levels for safety outputs of DX581-S module are only valid if the parameter Detection = "On". If the parameter Detection = "Off" then contact ABB technical support to obtain proper reachable SIL, max. SIL and PL levels.
