Function description
The contact expansion module PZE X4VP8 is an add-on device with selectable delay-on
de-energisation, and it is used to expand a safety circuit. The contact expansion module is
driven by a base unit (e. g. emergency stop relay).
}Functional procedure once the input circuit is closed (e.g. safety contacts on the base unit
are closed):
– The supply voltage is present at input (A1) of the contact expansion module.
– The safety contacts 17-18, 27-28, 37-38 and 47-48 close.
– The LEDs "CH.1" and "CH.2" are lit.
}Functional procedure once the input circuit is opened (e.g. safety contacts on the base
unit are opened):
– The supply voltage is not present at input (A1) of the contact expansion module.
– The LEDs "CH.1" and "CH.2" go out.
– Safety contacts 17-18, 27-28, 37-38 and 47-48 are opened redundantly once the
delay time has elapsed.
NOTICE
At the latest the safety contacts open after the set delay time tv + 50% of the
set value, even in the case of a component failure.
Installation
}The unit should be installed in a control cabinet with a protection type of at least IP54.
}Use the notch on the rear of the unit to attach it to a DIN rail (35 mm).
}When installed vertically: Secure the unit by using a fixing element (e.g. retaining bracket
or end angle).
Wiring
Please note:
}Information given in the "Technical details [ 11]" must be followed.
}Outputs 17-18, 27-28, 37-38 and 47-48 are delay-on de-energisation safety contacts.
}To prevent contact welding, a fuse should be connected before the output contacts (see
Technical details [ 11]).
}Calculation of the max. cable length lmax in the input circuit:
Rlmax
Rl / km
Imax =
Rlmax = max. overall cable resistance (see Technical details [ 11])
Rl/km = cable resistance/km
}Use copper wiring with a temperature stability of 60/75 °C.

PZE X4VP8
Operating Manual PZE X4VP8
1003206-EN-10 | 9
}To prevent EMC interferences (particularly common-mode interferences) the measures
described in EN60204-1 must be executed. This includes the separate routing of cables
of the control circuits (input, start and feedback loop) from other cables for energy trans-
mission or the shielding of cables, for example.
}Adequate protection must be provided on all output contacts with capacitive and inductive
loads.
}Do not switch low currents using contacts that have been used previously with high cur-
rents.
}The power supply must comply with the regulations for extra low voltages with protective
electrical separation (SELV, PELV) in accordance with VDE 0100, Part 410.

Operation
When the relay outputs are switched on, the mechanical contact on the relay cannot be
tested automatically. Depending on the operational environment, measures to detect the
non-opening of switching elements may be required under some circumstances.
When the product is used in accordance with the European Machinery Directive, a check
must be carried out to ensure that the safety contacts on the relay outputs open correctly.
Open the safety contacts of the contact expansion module (switch off outputs of the base
unit) and start the base unit again so that the internal diagnostics can check that the safety
contacts open correctly
}for SIL CL 2/PL d at least 1x per year

correctly.
For safety reasons, the unit cannot be started if the following faults are present:
}Contact malfunction: As the contact block is connected to a base unit,
reactivation will not be possible if the contacts have welded after the input circuit has
opened.
}Open circuit, short circuit or earth fault ( e.g. in the input circuit)
}In the case of an error, the delay-on de-energisation safety contacts may open before the
delay time has elapsed.

Explanatory notes for the safety-related characteristic data:
}The SIL CL value in accordance with EN 62061 corresponds to the SIL value in accord-
ance with EN 61508.
}TM is the maximum mission time in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1. The value also ap-
plies as the retest interval in accordance with EN 61508-6 and IEC 61511 and as the
proof test interval and mission time in accordance with EN 62061.
All the units used within a safety function must be considered when calculating the safety
characteristic data.
INFORMATION
A safety function's SIL/PL values are not identical to the SIL/PL values of
the units that are used and may be different. We recommend that you use
the PAScal software tool to calculate the safety function's SIL/PL values.

Supplementary data
CAUTION!
It is essential to consider the relay's service life graphs. The relay outputs'
safety-related characteristic data is only valid if the values in the service life
graphs are met.
The PFH value depends on the switch frequency and the load of the relay output.
If the service life graphs are not accessible, the stated PFH value can be used irrespective
of the switch frequency and the load, as the PFH value already considers the relay's B10d
value as well as the failure rates of the other components.
Service life graph
The service life graphs indicate the number of cycles from which failures due to wear must
be expected. The wear is mainly caused by the electrical load; the mechanical load is negli-
gible.
Cycles x 1000
Switching current (A)
Example
}Inductive load: 2 A
}Utilisation category AC15
}Contact service life: 400 000 cycles
Provided the application to be implemented requires fewer than 400 000 cycles, the PFH
value (see Technical details) can be used in the calculation.
To increase the service life, sufficient spark suppression must be provided on all output
contacts. With capacitive loads, any power surges that occur must be noted. With DC con-
tactors, use flywheel diodes for spark suppression.
