1.2 Documentation issue status
Version Comment
1.0.0 • First release version
1.3 Purpose and area of application
The Application Guide provides the user with examples for the calculation of safety parameters for safety
functions according to the standards DINENISO13849-1 and EN62061 or EN61508:2010 (if applicable),
such as are typically used on machines.
In the examples an EL1904 is taken as an example for a safe input or an EL2904 for a safe output. This is to
be considered an example; of course other safe inputs or outputs can be used, such as an EP1908 or an
EL2912. The appropriate parameters, which can be taken from the respective product documentation, must
then be used in the calculation.
NOTE
Application samples
These samples provide the user with example calculations. They do not release him from his duty to carry
out a risk and hazard analysis and to apply the directives, standards and laws that need to be considered
for the application.

TwinSAFE SC The TwinSAFE SC technology (SC - Single Channel) enables a signal from a standard
terminal to be packaged in a FSoE telegram and transmitted via the standard fieldbus to the
TwinSAFE Logic. As a result, falsifications on the transmission path can be excluded. Within
the TwinSAFE Logic, this signal is checked with a further independent signal. This
comparison result typically yields an analog value corresponding to a category3 and PLd.
This technology does not support digital input signals and cannot be used in a single-
channel structure (only one TwinSAFE SC channel).
1.5 Operator's obligation to exercise diligence
The operator must ensure that
• the TwinSAFE products are only used as intended (see chapter Product description);
• the TwinSAFE products are only operated in sound condition and in working order.
• the TwinSAFE products are operated only by suitably qualified and authorized personnel.
• the personnel is instructed regularly about relevant occupational safety and environmental protection
aspects, and is familiar with the operating instructions and in particular the safety instructions contained
herein.
• the operating instructions are in good condition and complete, and always available for reference at the
location where the TwinSAFE products are used.
• none of the safety and warning notes attached to the TwinSAFE products are removed, and all notes
remain legible.
NOTE
Qualified personnel
For the use of the TwinSAFE components, the personnel must be qualified and take part regularly in train-
ing courses.
Training courses on functional safety can be taken at the corresponding certifying bodies such as the TÜV
or at the responsible employer's liability insurance associations.
Product training courses for the TwinSAFE components can be booked with the Beckhoff Training Depart-
ment.

EP7211-0034 - STO Function10 Version: 1.0.0
3 STO function with EP7211-0034
(category3,PLd)
The following application example shows how the EP7211-0034 can be wired together with an EL2904 in
order to implement an STO function according to EN61800-5-2.
A protective door (S1 and S2) and a restart signal (S3) are logically linked on an ESTOP function block. The
EStopOut signal is transferred to the NC controller, which can be used within the functional application. The
STO input of the EP7211-0034 is operated via the delayed output EStopDelOut. Forwarding this signal to
further EP7211-0034 via the second connection is allowed. The EP7211-0034 supplies the information that
the STO function is active via the standard controller. This information is transferred to the EDM input of the
ESTOP function block and additionally to the EDM function block in order to generate an expectation for this
signal.
CAUTION
Implement a restart lock in the machine!
The restart lock is NOT part of the safety chain and must be implemented in the machine!
If the risk analysis returns the result that a restart is to be realized in the safety controller, then the restart
must also be placed on a safe input.

EP7211-0034 - STO Function 11Version: 1.0.0
WARNING
Wiring only with separate sheathed cable
The wiring between the EL2904 and the STO input of the EP7211-0034 must be done with a separate
sheathed cable in order to be able to assume a fault exclusion for the cross-circuit or external power supply
of the wiring between EL2904 and EP7211-0034. A forwarding of the STO-Signal to further EP7211-0034
must also be done with a separate sheathed cable.
The evaluation of this wiring and the evaluation of whether the fault exclusion is permissible must be done
by the machine manufacturer or user.
NOTE
Calculation EP7211-0034
The EP7211-0034 is not taken into account in the calculation of the Performance Level according to
DINENISO13849-1 since it behaves interference-free to the safety function.
The PFHD value goes into the calculation according to EN62061 with a value of 0.

The following assumptions must now be made:
The door switches S1/S2 are always actuated in opposite directions. Since the switches have different
values, but the complete protective door switch consists of a combination of normally closed and normally
open contacts and both switches must function, the poorer of the two values (S1) can be taken for the
combination!
There is a coupling coefficient between the components that are connected via two channels. Examples are
temperature, EMC, voltage peaks or signals between these components. This is assumed to be the worst-
case estimation, where ß =10%. EN62061 contains a table with which this β-factor can be precisely
determined. Further, it is assumed that all usual measures have been taken to prevent both channels failing
unsafely at the same time due to an error (e.g. overcurrent through relay contacts, overtemperature in the
control cabinet).
It follows for the calculation of the PFHD value for safety function 1:
