Preliminary comment
Safety Functional Examples are functional and tested automation circuits based on
standard A&D products. They can be used to simply, quickly and cost-effectively
implement applications in safety technology. Each of the Safety Functional
Examples covers a sub-task of a typical customer application involving safety
technology that is frequently encountered.

Function

1.1

Description of the functionality

If people (in production technology) are close to machines, then they must be
protected using the appropriate equipment.
This Safety Functional example describes how an E-Stop command device
and a guard in the form of a protective door are monitored. The E-Stop
command device represents a widely established component that protects
people, plants/systems and the environment against potential hazards. An
additional solution for plants and machines to secure hazardous areas is
mechanically isolating protective equipment (guards) or access hatches. In
this case, the function is to monitor unauthorized entry into plant and system
areas as well as to prevent potentially hazardous machine functions if the
protective equipment - in this case protective door - is opened.

In this Safety Functional Example, the E-Stop command device with a positivelyopening contact is monitored by a SIRIUS 3TK2845 safety relay according to
Category 2 in compliance with EN 954-1. If the E-Stop button is pressed, the
safety-relay opens, via safety outputs, the downstream contactors K1 and K2 with
positively driven contacts according to stop Category 0 in compliance with EN
60204-1.
Before powering-up again and acknowledging the E-Stop device using the start
button, a check is made as to whether the contact of the E-Stop command device
is closed and both contactors have been de-energized (i.e. the contactors have
dropped-out).
The protective with a SIRIUS position switch with positively-opening contact door is
also monitored by the 3TK2845 safety relay according to Category 2 in compliance
with EN 954-1. If this protective door is opened, the safety relay also opens the
downstream contactors K1 and K2 via the positively driven safety-related outputs
according to stop Category 0 in compliance with EN 60204-1. If the protective door
is closed and after the position switch and downstream contactor have been
checked, then the drive automatically starts.
If the "Service mode" key-operated switch is actuated, then contactor K2 drops-out
and the protective door can be opened without contactor K1 dropping-out. After the
"Service mode" has been completed, when the key-operated switch is re-actuated,
contactor K2 is automatically closed again. K1 and K2 switch two separate drives.

Note
Using this circuit example, Category 2 according to EN 954-1 can only be fulfilled if, when
the actuator fails, an alarm is automatically output or the machine control initiates a safety
condition. If this is not the case, a second shutdown path is required.
Equipment, functional aspects and Design Guidelines for E-Stop command devices are
provided in EN 418.(EN ISO 13850 being prepared)
The position switches must be arranged so that they are not damaged when they are
approached and passed. This is the reason that they may not be used as mechanical
endstop.

Advantages/customer benefits
Pure hardware engineering without having to configure/program
software
Little wiring is required and it is simple
Space-saving design using our compact safety relay
Can be simply expanded using expansion devices

Note
The functionality was tested using the specified hardware components. Products that are similar
but deviate from the list above can be used (e.g. a different 3TK28 safety relay). However, in
this case, please carefully note that it may be necessary to make modifications as to how the
hardware components are connected-up (e.g. another connection assignment).
