For your safety

The devices are designed according to the latest state-of-the-art technology. Residual hazards, however, still exist.
Observe the following warnings and safety regulations in order to prevent danger to per-sons and property. Turck accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe these regulations.

Intended use
The capacitive sensors of the …Y1… series are provided with a standard NAMUR output. These sensors enable the creation of safety-related systems:

The sensors are 100 % compatible with all standard NAMUR processing units as well as with
(safety) PLC systems with NAMUR inputs. The sensors are not provided with internal fault diag-nostics (Diagnostic Coverage DC = 0) and are classified as device type A (non complex device).
When used in safety systems, the probability of dangerous failure (PFD) and the hardware fault tolerance for the entire circuit must be determined and given due consideration.

Obvious misuse
Apart from the target, objects with conductivity and permittivity must not be situated or brought into the area of the active face or in the metal-free zone (refer to the relevant data sheet).

SIL registration card

NOTE
With safety-related applications of the devices, the SIL registration card enclosed with the device must be filled in completely by the user and returned to Turck.

General safety regulations

• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the device is used in compliance with the ap-plicable regulations, standards and laws.

In cases of doubt please contact the stated manufacturer’s address.

Device specific information on safety applications

Safety function
In an actuated state, the current consumption is > 2.1 mA and < 6 mA. Both a wire break (< 0.2 mA) as well as a short circuit (> 6 mA) of the sensor cable are defined as safe failures; these failures must be detected in the processing unit.

Functions and operating modes

• The sensors produce a change in the electrical output signal in the proximity of objects with sufficiently high conductivity or permittivity.
• This change complies with EN 60947-5-6:2000. The output behavior of the capacitive sensors has the following characteristics:

Abb. 1: NAMUR characteristic curve of the capacitive sensors as per EN 60947-5-6

Capacitive sensors with a NAMUR output have the following features:

• The current is ≥ 2.1 mA to 6 mA when a target is detected. The sensor is “damped”.
• Ideal switch point: (1.55 ± 0.2) mA at a switching distance Sn
• Current consumption on wire break: < 0.2 mA
• Current consumption on short circuit: > 6 mA
• Undefined state: 1.2 mA to 2.1 mA
• If a target is not present, the current is < 1.2 mA and > 0.2 mA. The sensor is “undamped”.

These values are based on standard targets as per EN 60947-5-2:2014.

• Rectangular, steel 1 mm thick
• Edge length is the greatest value of either
  • 3 × rated operating distance or
  • the diameter of the active face

Types of faults and failures
Failures must be classified in conjunction with the application into safe (non-hazardous) and unsafe (hazardous) failures. You as the operator are responsible for this.

NOTE
Turck must be notified of all damage that was caused by a dangerous undetected failure.

Safety characteristic values

Safety characteristic values

The safety-related characteristic values were determined based on an FMEDA in accordance with IEC 61508. The FMEDA is based on the following assumptions:

• The failure rates are constant.
• The mechanical wear is not considered.
• The propagation of failures is not relevant.
• The device is operated in low demand mode.
• The failure rates of an external power supply are not considered.
• The failure rates used are the Siemens standards SN 29500 at 40 °C.
• The ambient conditions correspond to an average industrial environment, as defined in MIL-HNBK-217-F or IEC 60654-1, Class C (sheltered location).
  • The ambient temperature is normally 40 °C.
  • A safety factor of 2.5 must be applied for ambient temperatures of 60 °C and frequent temperature fluctuations.

Machine safety
The suitability for machine safety applications is based on the transfer of the average probabil-ity of dangerous failure per hour (PFH) determined from the FMEDA (see 4.4.1) as per table 3 of ISO 13849-1.

Hardware architecture
The device is considered as a Type A component (non complex). The hardware fault tolerance HFT is 0.

Characteristic values for …Y1… NAMUR sensors

Recurrent function tests

A function test must be completed prior to initial operation, after each parameter setting, after repair and replacement, as well as at the stipulated interval T[Proof]:

• Ensure that the function test is only carried out by qualified personnel

• Think first about your safety and the safety of your environment. If in doubt, replace the device.

• Use a standard target according to EN 60947-5-2 for the function check.

• Move the standard target to the active face of the sensor to a point up to 1.32 × rated switch-ing distance.
  Ensure here that the switching state has not changed.

• Move the standard target to the active face of the sensor to a point up to 0.72 × rated switch-ing distance.
  Ensure here that the switching state has changed.

• Repeat the above tests with the actual target present. Move the target to the active face of the sensor within the distances present during normal operation.

• Check whether the sensor is mounted securely.

• Check that the mounting is complete (housing cover, use of the supplied lock washers, that the sensor is not actuated in the normal operating state of the installation etc.).

• Check for proper cable entry and correct mounting of the male connector.

• Check the general condition of the device, such as for cracks in the housing or damage.

Useful life
Experience has shown that the useful lifetime often lies within a range of 8 to 12 years. It can be significantly less if elements are operated near their specification limits or if they are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. However, on the other hand it can be extended by appropriate measures. For example, heavy temperature fluctuations could potentially decrease the useful lifetime, as constant temperature below 40 °C could potentially increase the useful lifetime.

Special regulations and restrictions

NOTE
Each application has its particular conditions of use and ambient requirements. For this reason, the safety-related assessment of a system must always take the actual process into account – in addition to the general statements concerning probability of failure, tolerances and failure rates of the components. Special application-specific fac-tors such as chemical and physical stresses may thus cause the premature wear of the devices and must therefore be taken into consideration already during the planning stage of a system. Take special measures to compensate for a lack of experience based values, e.g. through the implementation of shorter test intervals. The estimation of the diagnostic coverage (DC) can vary from application to application. The estimation of the hardware fault tolerance (HFT) can only take place if the use of the compliant object is restricted.

Installation and commissioning

Mounting
Depending on type, the sensors must be mounted either flush or non-flush (see the relevant data sheet at www.turck.com). Any mounting accessories required are also shown in the prod-uct data sheet.

NOTE
Requirements for safety-related mounting:

• With safety-related applications, only mount the sensor so that it is damped when the installation is in a normal operating state.

WARNING

• Non-safety-related mounting
• Risk of injury from device faults!
• For a non-safety-related mounting, the sensor is undamped in the normal operating state of the system.
• With these mounting conditions do not use the sensor in safety-related applications as the safety function will be deactivated in this state.

WARNING!: Incorrect mounting
Risk of injury due to malfunction or sensor failure

• Observe the relevant mounting conditions of the sensor (see data sheet).
• Observe, in particular the tightening torques of the housing nuts and fixing screws.
• Use the lock washers and fixing clamps if supplied.

A function test must be completed prior to initial operation, after each parameter setting, after repair and replacement, as well as at the stipulated interval T[Proof].

Selecting processing units
The sensors must be operated with processing units compliant with EN 60947-5-6:2000. These processing units must monitor wire breaks and short circuits and switch to a safe state at cur-rents < 0.2 mA (wire break) and > 6 mA (short circuit). The processing unit must also comply with a suitable SIL certification in accordance with IEC 61508 and performance level according to ISO 13849-1.

• Ensure that the devices and the housing materials are suitable for the application.
• For this refer also to the applicable data sheets of the Turck devices at www.turck.com.
