Apr 5, 2019 · The architecture category is determined by combining the performance level (PL) with quantitative measures of diagnostic coverage (DC) and mean time to dangerous failure (MTTF d). This chart shows the relationship between Category, Diagnostic Coverage, and Mean Time to Dangerous Failure for PL levels under EN/ISO 13849-1.

Category 4 PL-E stands for “Performance Level E,” the highest rating in machine safety categories defined under the European standard ISO 13849-1. This standard specifies safety requirements and guidance on the principles for the design and integration of safety-related parts of control systems.

Sep 26, 2011 · The DC in Category 4 is required to be HIGH (99% or more; see 6.1.3.2.6). Both architectures are single fault-tolerant, but in Category 4, a fault must be detected at the switch-on or the end of a machine cycle. Failing that, an accumulation of faults …

For each safety function to be carried out by a safety-related parts of a control system, the required performance level (PLr) must be determined, which is based on the following three parameters: The PLr is determined to be “c” for the following case.

What is SIL3/PLe and SIL2/PLd. The DS range of speed and standstill monitors are all SIL3/PLe and SIL2/PLd certified. The abbreviation SIL (Safety Integrity Level) comes from the field of functional safety and is used in the international standard IEC 61508.

Sep 2, 2009 · How will that manufacturer retrofit SIL and PL rated safety devices to their machine and fully satisfy the mitigation documentation requirements for hazards identified as Cat levels? Does anyone have an answer?

§ PL 是安全性能等级的缩写，Performance Level ，用于定义控制系统的安全相关部分的能力， 以使其在可预见条件下执行安全功能。 分为a b c d e 五个级别，PL e 是等级最高。 § PL等级对应每小时失效概率 PFHD。 来定义和衡量元器件或系统的安全功能的可靠性。 § PL 等级 来自于 ISO 13849-1 2006。 ISO 13849-1 的PL 等级与 IEC 62061 的 SIL-安全完整性等级 都对应了每小时危险失效次数，所以这两者是可以直接对应的。 PL e = SIL 3. § 需要怎样的安全性能等级配 …

4) Category 4 The designated architecture for Category 4 is shown in Figure 14. The structure for this architecture is the same as that for Category 3, but the performance of a self-diagnosis function for C (cross-monitoring) and m (monitoring) is higher in Category 4.

Sep 5, 2018 · Cat. 4, PLe Stop Category 0 using Programmable Controller, SensaGuard Interlock Switches, and Safety Motor Controller. This safety function is designed using a Compact GuardLogix® controller and ArmorBlock® Guard I/O™ module to monitor a safety gate interlocked with a SensaGuard™ safety switch.

Dec 9, 2020 · 1756 and 1768 GuardLogix® controller systems are type-approved and certified for use in safety applications up to and including SIL CL3 according to IEC 61508 and IEC 62061, safety applications up to and including Performance …

Both these safety functions will meet the requirements (PLr) Performance Level “e”, for Category 4 (PLe, Cat 4), per ISO 13849-1, and SIL3 per IEC 62061, and control reliable operation per ANSI B11.19.

Feb 8, 2022 · ISO 13849 as the successor to EN 954 expresses the level of safety achieved in terms of PL (performance level). The achieved PL depends on is a combination of reliability (MTTF), diagnostic coverage (DC) and category (architecture). I will discuss each of these later.

Figure 5 from ISO 13849-1 2015 clearly shows the relationship between Category Architectures (Cat B-4), Diagnostic Coverage (DC none to high), Meantime to Dangerous Failure (MTTFd low to high) and the Performance Levels (PL).

Jan 19, 2021 · Certified for use in safety applications up to and including SIL 3, according to IEC 61508, SIL CL3 per IEC 62061, Performance level PLe Cat 4 per ISO 13849-1; Programmed with Studio 5000 Logix Designer Application; Ideal for applications with high performance communications and motion up to 32 axes; ControlLogix 5570 & ControlLogix 5580 ...

An RFID sensor can be easily integrated into a guard locking solution to monitor locking state up to Cat. 4 PLe and monitor position of the guard up to Cat. 4 PLe. Provide means to prevent product misuse. The uniquely and high-coded actuator ensures the device cannot be deceived by entering an alternative actuator into the interlock.

Apr 29, 2024 · Attached examples show how to apply the different SMC products (SMC-50, SMC-Flex, and SMC-3) in Category 3 and PLe Category 4 applications. Shown here are two of the drawings for the SMC-3 soft starter.

Together with this, they form type 4 electro-sensitive protective equipment for applications up to PL e. Thanks to their compact dimensions and designs with cubic or cylindrical housings, they are easy to integrate. The operating range is up to 70 m.
