5.2. Example
6. Information on Performance-Level PLc in accordance with DIN EN 13849-1
6.1. Classification of Type Series “Switching Amplifier BS 805”
The Switching Amplifier BS805 can be classified in the Performance-Level PLc in accordance with the set of
standards governing Safety Relevant Control Systems DIN EN 13849-1.
This then covers hazards as shown in the hazard graphs below recommended for safety-relevant control systems in
conjunction with the Performance-Level PLc and SK1 Category.
Severity of injury (S)
S1 Slight injury (usually temporary)
S2 Severe injury (usually irreversible),
including death
Frequency and/or duration of exposure to
hazard (F)
F1 ... Seldom to quite often and/or short
duration of exposure
F2 ... Frequent to permanent and/or short
duration of exposure
Possibility of preventing the hazard (P)
P1 ... Possible under certain conditions
P2 ... Hardly possible
6.2. Error detection in operation with a connected sensor
The Switching Amplifier BS805 identifies the following errors:
Sensor monitoring
- Wire breakage, also on single core of sensor cable.
- Short circuit on any number of cores of sensor cable.
- “Unsafe” connection of individual cores.
Internal monitoring
- Failure of operating voltage
- Failure of sensor power supply
The BS 805 is responding to an error with:
- Relay SP1 and SP2 fall (to drop out)
- LED U78 blinking
- Output signal is 2mA
