Safety Characteristic Data

This topic details the SIL CL, PFHD and TM safety characteristic data for servo components. This information is valid for AKD, S300, S600, S700, and AKM. Definitions for abbreviations may be found on the page Abbreviations.

Sistema Library

The SISTEMA software utility provides developers and testers of safety-related machine controls with comprehensive support in the evaluation of safety in the context of ISO 13849-1. For S300 and S700 subsystems we offer a Sistema Library (see page Sistema).

Input STO-Enable PL d, Cat.3 SIL 2  1.50E-07 20

S600 Safety Characteristic Data

There is no certification for the S601-620 drives according to EN 13849-1 or EN 62061.

S701-724 Safety Characteristic Data

STO, no safety card

Device S701-724 Operation mode EN 13849-1 EN 62061 PFH(1/h) T(Years) 
STO1/2-Enable single channel PLd, Cat.3 SIL CL2 7.05E-08 20
STO1-Enable+STO2-Enable dual channel PLd, Cat.3 SIL CL2 7.05E-08 20
STO1-Enable+STO2-Enable+STO-Status dual channel with periodic test PLe, Cat.4 SIL CL3 1.04E-09 20

With safety card S1-2/S2-2 and motor feedback

Motor feedback with unknown MTTF value

MTTF = 10 must be used in this case (according to the graduated process for estimation of MTTF in EN 13849-1:2008 chapt. 4.5.2). The motor encoder is already included in the characteristic data, so no further calculations need to be performed for the "Safe Actuator" subsystem. The subsystem is built from S700, safety card and motor feedback.

Device (feedback with unknown MTTF) EN 13849-1 EN 62061 PFH(1/h) T(Years) 
S700 with Safety card S1/S1-2 and unknown motor feedback PL d, Cat.3 SIL CL 2 1.26E-07* 20
S700 with Safety card S2/S2-2 and unknown motor feedback PL d, Cat.3 SIL CL 2 1.35E-07* 20

 * = depends on the MTTF value of the used feedback. The higher MTTF the smaller is PFHD . This has an influence to the complete system, even if PL and SIL classes don't change.

Motor feedback with MTTF value larger than 57

Most of the feedback systems, especially resolvers, have MTTF values larger than 57. The motor encoder is already included in the characteristic data, so no further calculations need to be performed for the "Safe Actuator" subsystem. The subsystem is built from S700, safety card and motor feedback.

Device (feedback with MTTF > 57) EN 13849-1 EN 62061 PFH(1/h) T(Years)
S700 with Safety card S1/S1-2 and Kollmorgen motor feedback PL e, Cat.4 SIL CL 3 2.37E-08* 20
S700 with Safety card S2/S2-2 and Kollmorgen motor feedback PL d, Cat.3 SIL CL 2 1.35E-07* 20

 * = depends on the MTTFD value of the used feedback. The higher MTTFD the smaller is PFHD . This has an influence to the complete system, even if PL and SIL classes don't change.

With safety card S1-2 and two feedback systems

In this case the system depends on the used feedback systems, therefore the system must be calculated individually. The given subsystem below is built from S700 and safety card S1-2, the feedback systems used by Kollmorgen are given as parts (see "Characteristic Data Feedback").
