Description of the safety function
Devices from the series EKS2-… feature the following safety function: Safe switching and monitoring of the selected operating mode (subsystem of the safety function selection of operating mode according to EN ISO 13849-1)
- Safety function:
- Safe selection of an operating mode using a touch panel
- Safe detection of a change of operating mode
- Safety characteristics: category, Performance Level, PFHD (see chapter 13. Technical data on page 14).
Selection of operating mode
As a subsystem, the device fulfills the subfunctions of an operating mode
selector that controls the machine’s safety functions required for the
selected operating mode. A failure or malfunction of selection of operating
mode can lead to the safety functions of the selected operating mode not being
activated in the machine. A system for selection of operating mode can be
subdivided into the following subfunctions according to EN ISO 16090-1, for
example:
- Access system
- Selection system
- Activation system
Incorrect behavior or an error in the selection system subfunction can lead to the safety function of the overall selection of operating mode system failing. The device fulfills the access system subfunction and, in combination with a touch panel, the selection system subfunction. The safety function is ensured by a two-stage interaction between the device and the touch panel. This involves prompting confirmation of the selection in a new, additional dialog.
Two-stage interaction between EKS2 and touch panel
Operating Instructions Electronic-Key-System EKS2
The data structure of selection of operating mode is hierarchically structured for the individual authorization levels, and it changes values accordingly in the individual polling levels.
Data structure of selection of operating mode
To fulfill the safety function of the overall selection of operating mode system, a suitable activation system must be connected to the safe outputs of the device. A suitable activation system is a safe control system that can process 1-of-n signals, for example. The failure probability of the overall system’s safety function can therefore be calculated as follows: PFHD,tot. = PFHD,EKS2 + PFHD,Control
Exclusion of liability and warranty
Liability or warranty is ruled out in case of:
- Incorrect use
- Failure to comply with the operating instructions and the safety regulations therein
- Failure to perform the required check for correct function
- Changes to the device
General safety precautions
Safe operating mode selectors fulfill personnel protection functions. Incorrect installation of the subsystem or tampering can lead to fatal injuries to personnel. Observe the following safety regulations to prevent failure of the personnel protection function:
- Visually inspect all components for damage prior to mounting and connection. Do not use damaged components; file a complaint with the manufacturer instead.
- Do not modify or replace plugs or cables.
- Check the safe function of the device as a subsystem, particularly:
- each time after initial setup
- each time after replacing the device
- each time after correcting an error
- in accordance with the machine’s maintenance schedul
Function
The device is part of a higher-level overall system for selection of operating mode on safe control systems. The device consists of a reader and various smartcards. Authorizations for selecting various operating modes are stored on the smartcards. After being read in the reader, the smartcard is checked for validity based on specific parameters. If the smartcard is rec-ognized as valid, the operating modes available for selection can be displayed on the machine’s touch panel. The selected operating mode is transmitted via the device’s safety outputs FO1A to FO1F to the safe control system of the machine acting as the activation system. The safe control system must be capable of processing 1-of-n signals. Each 1-of-n state maps an operating mode MO (Mode of Operation):
FO1A | FO1B | FO1C | FO1D | FO1E | FO1F | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MO1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
MO2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
MO3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
MO4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
MO Service | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Safe state 1) 2) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Safe state 1) 2) | Two or more outputs: 1 |
- Operating mode change: state duration from 2 to max. 60 ms; safe state: state duration longer than 60 ms.
- The subsystem EKS2 is in the safe state. An error must be reported to the control system.
The LED illumination of the card holder indicates the status and error messages (see chapter 12. Status and fault displays on page 11).
