Safety instructions 2
2.1 General safety notes
Note
SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061:2005PL e / Cat. 4 in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:
2008
The 3SK11 / 3RQ12 safety relays are designed in such a way as to allow implementation of
applications up to SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061 and PL e / Cat. 4 in accordance with
EN ISO 13849-1.
Note
SILCL 2 as per IEC 62061 / PL c / Cat. 2 as per EN ISO 13849‑1: 2008 for 3RQ10 coupling relays
The 3RQ10 positively-driven safety-related coupling relays are designed in such a way as to allow
implementation of applications up to SILCL 2 in accordance with IEC 62061, PL c / Cat. 2 in
accordance with ISO 13849-1.
Note
Safe state
The basis of the safety function is the definition of the safe state. In the case of safety relays, this
is the "OFF state", i.e. an open contact for sensors or shutdown of the actuators.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage. Can cause death or serious injury
To ensure touch protection and degree of protection IP20, screw in all screws which are not
used for conductor clamping and close the terminal covers.
WARNING
Protection against electrically conductive contamination!
The devices must be protected against conductive contamination while taking account of the
ambient conditions. You can achieve this by installing the devices in a control cabinet with the
appropriate degree of protection.
You will find more detailed information in IEC 60529, for example.

Safety instructions
WARNING
Safe functional extra-low voltage
The 3SK1 safety relays with a supply voltage of 24 V DC must be operated with safe functional
extra-low voltage (SELV, PELV). This means these modules must only be subjected to a voltage
of Um even in the event of a fault. The following applies for these 3SK1 safety relays: Um <
60.0 V.
You can find more detailed information about safe functional extra-low voltage in the data
sheets of the power supplies to be used.
WARNING
When performing the light test: Ensure safe state
As a result of light tests performed at the semiconductor outputs, the level changes to the ON
state for up to 2.5 ms. Users are responsible for ensuring that this does not result in any actuator
changing to the active state.
CAUTION
Protection against electrostatic charge
When handling and installing 3SK1 safety relays, ensure that the components are protected
from being electrostatically charged. Changes to the system configuration and wiring are only
permissible while the supply voltage is switched off.
Connection of 3SK1 safety relays is only permissible when the power supply units (PELV and
SELV) are switched off.
CAUTION
Noise immunity / grounding
The following must be grounded in accordance with the regulations to ensure noise immunity
of the 3SK1 safety relays:
• PELV / SELV power supply units
(please also note the documentation for the respective power supply unit in this regard).

WARNING
3SK1..1 and 3SK1..3 safety relays (devices with contacting outputs):
In continuous operation, the key safety values apply where the function test interval (state
change of the outputs) for SIL2 ≤ 1 year and for SIL3 ≤ 1 month.
Exception: A function test interval ≤ 1 year is also permissible for SIL3 applications in the
process industry (in accordance with IEC 61511), exclusively for low-demand use, due to a
significantly lower failure rate/probability of the electromechanical components. This does not
apply to safety-related applications in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Safety systems - General information 4
4.1 What is safety?
Safety defines a state in which the risk of damage is reduced to a tolerable level, or which can be
regarded as risk-free. Following on from this definition, functional safety concerns persons,
machines and the environment.
The objective of safety systems is to reduce the risk for humans and machines that is posed by
a use case to an acceptable level. The first step is, therefore, to identify the risk of a use case. In
order to make a reliable assessment regarding the application, each individual function of a
machine or plant must be analyzed for potential hazards.
For further information, refer to the brochure "Safety of machines and plants" which is available
here as a download: Functional safety (http://www.siemens.com/safety).

Safety systems - General information
4.2 Safety function
4.2 Safety function

A safety function describes the reaction of a machine/plant to the occurrence of a specific event
(e.g. opening of a protective door). Execution of the safety function(s) is carried out by a safety-
related control system. This usually comprises three subsystems, detecting, evaluating and
reacting.
Detecting (sensors):
• Detecting a safety requirement,
e. g.: EMERGENCY STOP or a sensor for monitoring a hazardous area (light array, laser
scanner, etc.) is operated.
Evaluating (safety relay):
• Detecting a safety requirement and safely initiating the reaction (e.g. switching off the safety-
related outputs).
• Monitoring the correct operation of sensors and actuators.
• Initiating a reaction upon detection of faults.
The 3SK1 products described in this manual are evaluation units for safety functions.
Reacting (actuators):
• Switching off the hazard by means of downstream actuators.

4.3 Basic terminology
4.3.1 Redundancy/single-channel and two-channel
Redundancy
With redundancy, more than one component is implemented for the same function, so a faulty
function of a component is performed instead by the other component(s).
A redundant configuration reduces the probability of a function failing due to a single defective
component. This requirement is essential for achieving SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061,
SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508 and PL e (Cat. 4) in accordance with ISO 13849-1 (also
necessary for SIL 2 / PL d under certain circumstances).
The simplest form of redundancy is two-channel redundancy.
If a circuit fails, two-channel redundancy or appropriate wiring ensures that the safety function
is maintained.
In a redundant system configuration, the subsystems for detecting and reacting must also be
implemented with two-channel redundancy.
Note
All SIRIUS Safety devices that comply with SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061, SIL 3 in
accordance with IEC 61508 and PL e (Cat. 4) in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1 are
redundantly configured with regard to the internal logic as well as with regard to the output
circuits.

4.3.2 Cross-circuit detection

Cross-circuit detection is a diagnostic function of a safety relay that detects short-circuits and
cross-circuits between the input channels (sensor circuits) during two-channel sensing or
reading. A cross-circuit can be caused, for example, by a cable casing being squashed. In devices
without cross-circuit detection, this can mean that a two-channel EMERGENCY STOP circuit does
not trip even though only one NC contact is faulty (secondary error).
With 3SK1 devices, a cross-circuit is detected in the sensor circuits by means of signals with
different clock pulses. If the clocked signals overlap, the device detects a cross-circuit. With 3SK1
basic units, cross-circuit detection can be deactivated to allow electronic sensors to be evaluated
(that monitor themselves as well as the cable to the evaluation unit).
4.3.3 Enabling circuit (safety-related output)

An enabling circuit provides a safety-related output signal. From an external viewpoint, enabling
circuits usually act as NO contacts (however, in terms of functionality, safety-oriented opening
is always the most important aspect).
An individual enabling circuit that is redundantly configured internally in the safety relay can be
used for SIL 3 / PL e.
Note: Enabling current paths can also be used for signaling purposes.
3SK1 safety relays are only equipped with enabling circuits with NO functionality. This means
that when the safety function is triggered, or a fault is detected, the enabling circuits will always
transfer to the safe state (NO contact open).
4.3.4 Signaling circuit

A current signaling path provides a safety-related output signal.
With 3SK1 relays, the signaling circuits are always implemented as NC circuits. This means that
when the safety function is triggered, or a fault is detected, the signaling circuits will close.

With 3SK1 semiconductor devices, the signaling circuits are always implemented as NO circuits.
This means that when the safety function is triggered, or a fault is detected, the signaling circuits
will open.
4.3.5 Feedback circuit

A feedback circuit is used to monitor controlled actuators (e.g. relays or load contactors) with
positively-driven contacts or mirror contacts. The safety-related outputs can only be activated if
the feedback circuit is closed.
Note
When 3SK1 expansion units are used on 3ZY12 device connectors with 3SK1 Advanced basic
units, it is not necessary to incorporate the expansion modules in the feedback circuit wiring.
This is implemented internally via the device connector.
DANGER
Ensuring electrical safety and safety function
The normally closed contact of 3RQ12. is designed for a voltage of 24 V DC. If higher voltages
occur, electrical safety cannot be ensured due to the voltage clearance distances. If the 3RQ12.
is integrated in a system with a device connector, the feedback circuit is routed via the device
connector; connection of external voltage is not necessary and not permitted. Connecting
external voltage can bypass the safety function.
4.3.6 Stop category
Stop category 0
Non-controlled shutdown by immediately switching off the power to the machine's drive
elements.
Stop category 1
Controlled stopping where the energy feed is interrupted with a time delay, or is only interrupted
once standstill has been reached.
Note
Time-delayed shutdown of safety-related outputs in accordance with Stop category 1 is not
ensured under all operating states.
In the case of some internal device faults, and when disconnecting the supply voltage, these
safety-related outputs are switched off instantaneously .

4.3.7 Automatic start

For an automatic start, the device is started without manual confirmation, but only after the
input image has been checked and a positive test of the safety relay has been conducted. This
function is also known as dynamic operation and is not permissible for EMERGENCY STOP
devices. Safety devices for prohibited danger zones (e.g. position switches, light arrays, safety
shutdown mats) can use the automatic start function if this does not pose any risk.
Note
An automatic start is not permitted for EMERGENCY STOP devices.
Information about start response in the system configuration of 3SK1 Advanced units can be
found in the chapter "Explanations of device function (Page 176)".
4.3.8 Manual start

For a manual start, the device is started by operating the START button, but only after the input
image has been checked and a positive test of the safety relay has been conducted. On a manual
start, the START button is not monitored for correct operation, a positive edge of the START
button is sufficient for starting.
Note
The "manual start" function is only available with the 3SK1111 safety relays (slide switch at
Autostart position).
Note
Manual start is not permitted for EMERGENCY STOP devices.

!V !V
Figure 4-3 "Manual start" start function
4.3.9 Monitored start

For a monitored start, the device is started by operating the START button, but only after the
input image has been checked and a positive test of the safety relay has been conducted.
Contrary to the manual start, the monitored start evaluates a signal change of the START
button. This means that the START button cannot be bypassed (misuse). For PL e (ISO 13849-1)
as well as SIL 3 (IEC 62061), the monitored start must be used in the case of EMERGENCY STOP.
For other safety sensors/functions, the necessity for a monitored start command depends on the
risk assessment.

If the START button is operated for more than 2 seconds, the 3SK1 basic unit detects a wiring
short-circuit in the START button and switches to the fault state (Device = green; SF = flashing
red; Out = flashing yellow; IN = off)
Note
In the delivery state of the 3SK1 safety relays, the start type is set to "Monitored start".

4.3.10 Two-hand operation/synchronism

Synchronous sensor operation is a special form of simultaneity of sensors.
In this case, it is not sufficient for sensor contacts 1 and 2 to be switched to the closed state at
different times, they must be closed within 0.5 seconds.
Synchronism of sensors is required, in particular, in the case of two-hand operation of presses.
This ensures that the presses only become active when the sensors are operated simultaneously
with both hands. This minimizes the risk of the operator getting a hand in the press.
When 3SK1 safety relays are used, you can achieve applications up to type IIIc in compliance with
EN 574 / EN 13851 (applications up to PL e/Cat. 4 in compliance with EN 13849-1 or SILCL 3 in
compliance with IEC 62061).
Note
In the delivery state of 3SK1 safety relays, monitoring of time synchronism is deactivated.
Monitoring of time synchronism can be activated using the following adjustable parameters for
3SK112 Advanced and 3SK122 Advanced:
• Jumper T1/PAR (NO/NC evaluation)
• DIP switches (1) Autostart
• DIP switches (3) 2 x single-channel
Note
The 3SK1 Advanced safety relays exclusively support two-hand control units with 2 NO contacts.
Note
The two-hand circuit must be marked in compliance with EN 574 EN 13851. You can find
information on determining the response time in the section entitled Response times
(Page 180).

4.3.11 Cascading
Cascading of safety relays is used for tripping safety relays in series.
Several safety functions can then be logically connected to a shared shutdown path. Several
safety-related outputs can be created for selective shutdown of drive elements.
The connection between the individual modules must be arranged on one side only, because
cascading from the last relay to the first one would create a loop which would prevent starting.
Cascading is implemented within a control cabinet in a single-channel configuration; this is even
permissible with SIL 3 / PL e, because cable routing within a control cabinet is protected against
short-circuits and short-circuiting to P potential (fault exclusion in accordance with
ISO 13849-2).
The 3SK1 Advanced device series offers an extremely convenient solution for cascading. Input
expansions can be easily connected to the evaluation unit by means of device connectors.
4.3.12 Startup testing

The sensor or protection equipment must be opened and closed again after the supply voltage
is restored before the enables for the 3SK1 safety relay can be switched through.
Startup testing ensures that any errors in the sensors are detected (again), because safety relays
lose their ability to store errors at zero voltage.
Unauthorized manipulation of the protection equipment can also be detected through startup
testing.
The plant operator decides whether startup testing should be performed (risk assessment). No
general statements apply.
Note
In the delivery state of 3SK1 safety relays, startup testing is deactivated.
4.3.13 Connection of actuators
Note
To achieve the Performance Level / Safety Integrity Level given in the following examples, the
actuators shown must be monitored in the feedback circuit of the corresponding safety relay.
Note
For capacitive and inductive loads, we recommend an adequate protective circuit. In this way,
electromagnetic interference can be suppressed and contact service life increased.

4.3.15 Use of magnetically operated switches

If magnetically operated switches are used, the magnetic contacts may weld on account of
capacitive effects. The reason for this is that a high peak current may occur when switching these
loads (e.g. also cable capacitances). A corresponding fuse protection with the rated current of
the magnetically operated switch must be provided if the device/sensor combinations have not
been explicitly enabled.
For more details, please refer to the documentation of the magnetically operated switch.

5.1.4.5 Inputs
The device has five inputs for safe signal processing: IN1, IN2, INS, INF, INK:
• IN1: sensor input channel 1
• IN2: sensor input channel 2
• INS: START pushbutton circuit (start after rising and falling edge)
• INF: feedback circuit (checked for closed state: before switching on)
• INK: cascading circuit (cascading input/normal switching duty)
• The cascading circuit is AND-connected with the IN1 and IN2 sensor inputs.
• START button circuit and cascading circuit are activated with a static +24 V DC signal.
• With cross-circuit detection activated, the following inputs are checked for cross-circuits and
short-circuits to P: IN1/T1 to IN2/T2 and INF/T2. The inputs then receive their supplies from
the test outputs T1 and T2.
• If "without cross-circuit detection" is set on the device, inputs IN1 and IN2 are not checked for
cross-circuits. Inputs IN1 and IN2 must not be supplied via T1/T2 here, otherwise a fault will
be generated via input INF. It is therefore essential that inputs IN1 and IN2 are supplied via
an external + 24 V DC current source from which the device is also supplied.
• If the unit is parameterized to 2 x 1-channel with DIP switch 3, the sensor circuit that is not
used (T1/IN1 or T2/IN2) must be bypassed.
Note
Observe the following special points during commissioning of the 3SK1112 safety relay:
The cascading input must be connected to terminal A1 if it is not to be used.
Monitoring of the feedback circuits is not optional.

expansions. The Advanced safety relays can be connected by means of a 3ZY12 device
connector.
When configuring the system, it must be ensured that input expansions are always mounted on
the left, and output expansions (3SK121 or 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter) on the right of the basic
unit. For control supply voltages of 110 ... 240 V AC/DC, the Advanced device series can be
supplied with the necessary 24 V DC voltage from the 3SK1230 power supply (which must be
positioned on the extreme left in the system).
The focus of the Advanced relay series is on:

• Single devices that can be flexibly parameterized
• Expandability using 3ZY12 device connector on both input and output side
• Basic units with time-delayed safety-related outputs
5.2.2 Applications
• EMERGENCY OFF / EMERGENCY STOP monitoring.
• Monitoring of protective doors with electromechanical position switches, solid-state
position switches, or solenoid switches.
• Monitoring of contact-free protection equipment, e.g. light arrays/light barriers, or laser
scanners.
The 3SK1 safety relays Advanced can be used in EMERGENCY OFF and EMERGENCY STOP devices
in accordance with EN 60204-1 and in safety circuits in accordance with VDE 0113-1 and/or EN
60204-1, e.g. in circuits in which controlled shutdown, STOP Category 1, is necessary.
Depending on the external circuit, it is possible to achieve SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061,
SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508 and PL e (Cat. 4) in accordance with ISO 13849-1.
The safety relays comply with DIN EN 50156-2 (Electrical equipment for furnaces and ancillary

5.3 3SK1 output expansions
5.3.1 Applications
The 3SK1 output expansions are used to expand the safety-related outputs. The maximum
achievable Performance Level PL/Cat. in accordance with ISO 13849-1, SILCL in accordance with
IEC 62061, SIL in accordance with IEC 61508 corresponds to the Performance Level PL and SIL
of the basic unit when the external wiring (connection between basic unit and output
expansion) is configured as fail-safe (e.g. basic unit and output expansion are connected
using 3ZY12 device connector).
The output expansions can be controlled via the supply voltage (A1/A2) or using 3ZY12 device
connectors1).
1)
For 24 V DC variant only
Note
If expansion units are controlled via the 3ZY12 device connector, additional feeding of the
control supply voltage (A1/A2) at one of the output expansions leads to a fault in the system
configuration.
Note
Use of the output expansions on 3ZY12 device connectors
You can switch between instantaneous or delayed control of the basic unit using the slide switch
of the output expansion (see also the chapter "System configuration rules (Page 120)").
Note
Using the output expansions with conventional wiring
The slide switch has no function here.
If you require Stop category 1 outputs for the output expansion, terminals A1/A2 of the output
expansion must be connected to outputs 38 or 48 on 3SK1 basic units with relay outputs or to
Q1t/Q2t (in the case of 3SK1 with semiconductor outputs).

The operating state of the 3SK1 output expansions is displayed on the DEVICE LED.
The 3SK1211 output expansions (4RO) have four safety-related outputs as NO circuits, and the
3SK1213 output expansions (3RO) have three. They each have one positively-driven NC circuit.
The output expansions can be activated via any output of the basic unit via (A1). The NC circuit
51/52 of 3SK1211 (4RO) or 41/42 of 3SK1213 (3RO) is used for monitoring the output
expansions.
In the 24 V DC variants, the expansion units can be activated and evaluated via the 3ZY12 device
connectors.

5.3.7 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters

3RM1 Failsafe motor starters can be used wherever combinations of contactors and overload
relays were previously used.
3RM1 Failsafe motor starters are used in the following areas, for example:
• Conveyor technology
• Logistics systems
• Production machines
• Machine tools
• Small elevators
Thanks to the additional functionality of safety-related shutdown, the 3RM11 Failsafe and
3RM13 Failsafe motor starter variants are ideally suited to safety-related applications in the 3SK1
system up to SILCL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061 and PL e/Cat. 4 in accordance with ISO
13849-1.
The maximum achievable Performance Level PL/Cat. in accordance with ISO 13849-1, SILCL in
accordance with IEC 62061, SIL in accordance with IEC 61508 corresponds to the Performance
Level PL and SIL of the 3SK1 basic unit when the external wiring (connection between basic unit
and output expansion) is configured as fail-safe (e.g. basic unit and 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter
are connected using 3ZY12 device connector).
3RM1 Failsafe motor starters can be controlled via the supply voltage (A1/A2) or via 3ZY12
device connectors (24 V DC variant only).
Note
configuration.
Note
In the configuration with a 3SK1 Advanced basic unit on a 3ZY12 device connector, 3RM1
Failsafe motor starters can only be controlled by the instantaneous enable signal of the 3SK1
unit. If control of the 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters by means of the time-delayed output is
desired, this can only be done by wiring the time-delayed safety-related output of the 3SK1 basic
unit.
More detailed technical information is available in the SIRIUS 3RM1 motor starters (http://
support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/66295730) manual on the Internet.

5.4 3RQ1 output expansion
5.4.1 Applications
Expansion of safety-related outputs

The 3RQ1 output expansions are used to expand the safety-related outputs. The maximum
achievable Performance Level PL/Cat. in accordance with ISO 13849-1, SILCL in accordance with
IEC 62061, SIL in accordance with IEC 61508 is SIL 2 / PL; for 3RQ12. is SIL 3 / PL e. To achieve this,
you must realize the external wiring, i.e. the connection between the basic unit and 3RQ1
output expansion, in a fail-safe manner, e.g. with the 3ZY12 device connector.
With the 3RQ10., SIL 2 in accordance with IEC 62061 can only be achieved by means of
additional feedback circuit wiring of the 3RQ1 normally closed contact in the safety circuit of the
3SK1 basic unit.
The 3RQ12. output expansions are certified up to SIL 3 / PL e in accordance with IEC 62061 / ISO
13849. With these variants, the feedback circuit is situated on the device connector, that is to
say, additional wiring of the feedback circuit is not necessary.
Note

Note
Using the output expansions with conventional wiring
If you require Stop category 1 outputs for the output expansion, terminals A1/A2 of the output
expansion must be connected to outputs 38 or 48 on 3SK1 basic units with relay outputs or to
Q1t/Q2t (in the case of 3SK1 with semiconductor outputs).
WARNING
Control
You can control the output expansions via the supply voltage (A1/A2).
Alternatively, with the 24 V AC/DC variant, you can control the output expansion via the 3ZY12
device connector.

3SK1 / 3RQ1 devices
If the expansion units are controlled via the 3ZY12 device connector, additional feeding of the
configuration.

The operating state of the 3RQ1 output expansions is displayed on the DEVICE LED.
Depending on the variant used, the 3RQ1 output expansions have 1NO/1NC, 2NO/1NC, 2NO/
2NC or 4NO/1NC. The output expansions can be controlled via any output of the basic unit via
(A1). The NC circuits of the 3RQ1 are used to monitor the output expansion or for additional
switching.
In the 24 V DC variants, the expansion units can be controlled and evaluated via the 3ZY12
device connectors.

6.1 General information
6.1.1 General notes on the Standard system

• Safety-related outputs are expanded using external wiring.
• Output expansions must be controlled via a safety-related output of the basic unit.
• The NC circuit of the 3SK1 / 3 RQ1 output extension must be looped into the feedback circuit
(T4-INF/S) of the basic unit.
6.1.2 General information on the Advanced system

• Expansion of the safety-related outputs of 3SK1 Advanced basic units by means of external
wiring is always possible.
• Expandable using 3ZY12 device connectors on both the input and output sides.
• The output expansions are controlled via the connection interface. With the 3SK1 / 3RQ12
output expansions, the feedback circuit is also evaluated via the connection interface.
External wiring of the output expansion is therefore only necessary for 3RQ10 if SIL 2 / PL c
is to be achieved. With 3RQ10, SIL 1 / PL c can also be achieved without feedback circuit
wiring.
• When using the Advanced device series with output expansion on the device connector
described, all enabling and signaling circuits of the basic unit and output expansion can be
used as required.
• The input expansions, as well as the output expansions mounted on the 3ZY12 device
connector, are supplied with voltage via the 3ZY12 device connector. The supply voltage is
only connected once on the basic unit (24 V DC) or the 3SK1230 power supply (110 ... 240 V
AC/DC).
• Motor feeders up to 3 kW (400 V) can be implemented quickly and easily using 3RM1 Failsafe
motor starters. The motor starters can be easily connected as output expansions in the 3SK1
system.

System configuration
Note
In the configuration with a 3SK1 Advanced basic unit on a 3ZY12 device connector, 3RM1
unit. If control of the 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter by means of the time-delayed output is desired,
this can only be done by wiring the time-delayed safety-related outputs of the 3SK1 basic unit.
Information about start response in the system configuration of 3SK1 Advanced units can be
found in the chapter "Explanations of device function (Page 176)".
6.1.3 Maximum system configuration
Changes to the system configuration

Changes to the system configuration in safety mode always result in a device error. Restarting,
by disconnecting and reconnecting the operating voltage (Power OFF/ON), is a mandatory
requirement.

Note
If a basic unit is expanded on the right, the last output expansion must be terminated with a
device termination connector of the corresponding device.
If a basic unit is only expanded on the left, a device termination connector for 3SK1 safety relays
must be mounted below the basic unit.
6.2.2 Applications
The 3SK1 Advanced basic unit can be expanded on the input and output sides using 3ZY12
device connectors (connecting plugs) without any additional wiring outlay. When configuring
the system, it is important to ensure that input expansions are connected on the left and output
expansions/3RM1 Failsafe motor starters on the right of a basic unit.

6.3 System configuration rules
General information
• All basic units can be operated as a stand-alone device without a device connector.
• 3SK1220 input expansions and the 3SK1230 power supply must always be connected on the
left of the basic unit and output expansions (3SK121 and 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters) on
the right.
Expansion on the input side

• If an (additional) input expansion is detected on the left when the basic device or an input
expansion powers up, it will be loaded into the device configuration.
• An input expansion evaluates the sensor states and generates an enable signal for the basic
unit depending on the start condition. The enable signal is then acquired by an input
expansion on the right-hand side, or acquired by the basic unit and ANDed with its sensor
statuses.
You can find information on the start characteristics in the system configuration of the 3SK1
Advanced in the chapter "Explanation of the device’s function (Page 176)".
• The 3ZY12 device connector used below the final device must be fitted with a cover on the
left side (included with the device termination connectors).
• A 3SK1230 power supply can also be used in the 3SK system. This 3SK1230 power supply
must always be plugged into the system on the extreme left.
• No more than one 3SK1230 power supply is admissible for each system.
• If a 3SK1230 power supply is used, no additional, external 24 V DC voltage is permitted to be
connected to a basic unit.
Output expansion
• If an output expansion is detected on the right when the device powers up, this will be loaded
into the device configuration. The internal feedback circuit of the contact extension is
evaluated and checked.
• If both the 3SK1211 / 3RQ1 output expansion and 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters are used in
a system, the 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters must be positioned on the right of the 3SK1211 /
3RQ1 output expansions.
• If a 3SK1213 output expansion is used in the system, this must always be the final station in
the system (on the right) and must be fitted with a 3ZY1212-0FA01 device termination
connector. Only one 3SK1213 output expansion can be used in the system with a device
connector; further 3SK1213 output expansions can be optionally interfaced by wiring.
• On the 3SK121 output expansions, a slide switch on the device front must be used to set
whether the (UNDELAYED) or (DELAYED) output signal of the basic unit is to trigger a
response. If a purely instantaneous 3SK112 basic unit is used, the slide switch MUST be set
to the (UNDELAYED) position.
The 3RQ1 output expansions do not have a slide switch and always react to the (UNDELAYED)
output signal.

• In the case of a change to the device configuration during operation, error mode is activated
immediately. Restarting must be triggered via Power OFF/ON.
• If output expansions are used, a device termination connector for the 3SK1 safety relay must
ALWAYS be used under the final device on the right (for 3SK1211) with the switch setting: "1"
(switch in top position), device termination connector set for 3SK1 safety relay, > 45 mm
wide (for 3SK1213) or device termination connectors for 3RM1 motor starters must be used
• 22.5 mm device termination connector for 3SK1 / 3RQ1:
– Below basic unit: The switch of the device termination connector must be open, i.e. in
position 2 at the bottom.
– Below 3SK1211 output expansion: The switch of the device termination connector must
be closed, i.e. in position 1 at top

• No switch needs to be set on the device termination connector for 3RM1 motor starters
• As from certain load limits/temperature ranges, clearances must be observed for 3RM1
Failsafe motor starters. To this end, there are appropriate device connectors for looping
through signals (3ZY1212-2AB00).
• In the configuration with a 3SK1 Advanced basic unit on a 3ZY12 device connector, 3RM1
unit. If control of the 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters by means of the time-delayed output is
desired, this can only be done by wiring the time-delayed safety-related output of the 3SK1
basic unit.
You will find further information on the configuration guidelines for 3RM1 Failsafe motor
starters in the SIRIUS 3RM1 motor starters (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/
view/en/66295730) manual, in the chapter "Load feeders - protection against short circuit".
Configuration notes for using device connectors

3ZY12 device connectors can only be used with devices of the Advanced device series.
Further configuration notes:

configuration.
Power supply by means of the 3SK1230 power supply

• When device connectors are used, only one 3SK1230 power supply is permitted in each
system.
• The 3SK1230 power supply must always be located on the extreme left.
• If a 3SK1230 power supply is used, an additional (external) 24 V DC connection is not
permitted (this also applies to the cascading input, as well as to non-floating sensors).
24 V DC supply voltage from an external power supply unit

• It is only permitted to connect a voltage of 24 V DC to the terminals on the basic unit.
• It is not permitted to supply 24 V DC to an expansion component or 3RM1 Failsafe motor
starter.

8.2.6 Wiring rules for spring-loaded terminal (push-in system)
Notes on handling spring-loaded terminals (push‑in system)

The terminal area of the spring-loaded (push-in) terminals is rectangular, and the maximum
overall dimensions of the conductor to be wired must not exceed 1.5 x 2.4 mm (control current
terminals).
Attention must be paid to the orientation of the terminal area, which may call for vertical fitting
of rectangularly crimped cables.
To make optimum use of available terminal area, you are advised to choose a form of crimping
that creates a corresponding rectangular contour. Trapezoidal crimping is generally very highly
suitable in this case.
When use is made of a cable that utilizes the full overall height, the terminal's spring is
deflected to the maximum. Therefore, removal of this cable may become a problem because it
requires further deflection of the spring.

Configuration / operation 9
9.1 Procedure for configuration
General information:
• It is only possible to change the configuration (DIP switch, NC/NO evaluation, potentiometer,
input and output expansion) in configuration mode. Modifications during operation are not
accepted.
• A configuration change (DIP switch, NC/NO evaluation, potentiometer) is indicated in safety
mode by the "DEVICE" LED flashing green/yellow, but does not change the device function.
• In safety mode, if a change in the system configuration (input and output expansion) is
detected, the device switches to error mode ("DEVICE" LED and "SF" LED red). A restart is only
possible using Power OFF/ON.
Procedure for configuring a basic unit

1. Set the configuration (DIP, PAR, potentiometer, input expansion, output expansion) in
accordance with the desired function.
2. Connect the power supply.
3. If the device detects a modified configuration, it remains in configuration mode (LEDs flash)
during power up.
4. Confirm the new configuration by operating the SET/RESET pushbutton for more than 1s.
5. The configuration has been accepted and the device changes to safety mode.
Note
Configuration and setting the delay time
A change to the configuration must only ever be carried out when the system is disconnected
from the power.
In safety mode, an adjustment to the potentiometer does not result in a change to the
parameterized delay time.
A change to the potentiometer setting made during operation is not accepted and is indicated
in safety mode by a yellow/green flashing "DEVICE" LED. The device can be restarted by
performing a RESET (pressing the SET/RESET button) or by disconnecting and reconnecting the
supply voltage. Following a restart, the device remains in safety configuration mode during
power up (all safety-related outputs are shut down) until the new delay time is accepted by
pressing the SET/RESET button.

Configuration / operation
9.2 Explanation of the device's functions
Explanation of the device functions (DIP switches)
DIP Parameter Function

switch
1 Start type • Autostart: The safety-related outputs are switched to the active position as soon as the
switch-on condition is satisfied at the sensor inputs IN1, IN2, INF and INK. The START button
connecting terminal INS is not queried.
• Monitored start: The safety-related outputs are switched to the active position as soon as
the switch-on condition is met at the IN1, IN2, INF and INK sensor inputs and the START
button at the INS terminal is actuated (start with the falling edge).
2 Cross-circuit de‐ Cross-circuit detection is only possible with floating sensors. The sensors must be connected
tection between T1 - IN1 and T2 – IN2. At the terminals IN1 and PAR (if used), the test signal of terminal
T1 is expected; at the terminals IN2 and INF , the test signal of T2 is expected. The device detects
a sensor fault if the signal at the terminals IN1, PAR or IN2, INF does not match the test signals
T1, T2.
Cross-circuit detection must be deactivated if electronic sensors such as light arrays or laser
scanners are connected. The 3SK1 now no longer monitors the sensor inputs for cross-circuit
detection. Usually, the outputs of safety sensors (OSSD) are already monitored for cross-circuits
in the sensor.
Devices with PAR terminals expect the test signal T2 at the parameterization input. A 24 V signal
at the PAR or INF terminals results in a fault (cross-circuit at the input).
3 Type of connec‐ • 1 sensor with 2 contacts 1 x two-channel; NC/NC.
tion It is expected here that both contacts be open simultaneously.
With the additional connection of T1 to PAR, this DIP parameterization applies to ONE two-
channel sensor with NC/NO contacts.
• 2 sensors with one contact each 2 x single-channel; NC / NC.
In this case, both sensors are AND-connected. Simultaneity is not monitored.
4 Startup testing After a power failure, startup testing requires that the sensors at IN1 and IN2 are actuated once
by the system operator.

Function of the cascading input (INK terminal)

• Safe combination of safety relays
In this application, a higher-level safety relay switches off the 3SK1 safety relay via the
cascading input via a safe output.
Example:
an EMERGENCY STOP circuit is to deactivate the entire installation as a higher-level circuit.
Several function groups (e.g., protective doors) that disconnect locally can be operated as
subordinate units.
WARNING
Application / safety relay safety level
The safety level PL/SIL of the application corresponds to the lowest safety level of a
subsystem of the application when errors are excluded (protected wiring of the control
cable).
• Additional safety sensor circuit

The INK cascading input is ANDed with sensor inputs IN1, IN2 .
PL c in accordance with ISO 13849-1, or SIL1 in accordance with IEC 62061 can be achieved
if the cascading input is wired with single-channel (positive opening) safety sensors (supply
via A1 / +24 V (identical potential to A1) and if the connecting cable is laid in a protected
fashion. The start function for the cascading input INK corresponds to the start response of
sensor inputs IN1 and IN2 (autostart or monitored start).
The cascading input INK can be controlled with floating or solid-state contact blocks
(switching to P potential). Floating contact blocks must be connected between A1 / +24 V
(identical potential to A1) and the cascading input.
• Normal switching duty
The INK cascading input can also be used for normal switching duty (not safe). The INK
cascading input can be controlled in this case with floating contact blocks or with solid-state
contact blocks (switching to P potential).
Floating contact blocks must be connected between A1 / +24 V and INK .
It is important to note that the start function of cascading input INK corresponds to the start
function of sensor inputs IN1, IN2 .

When using a 3SK1 safety relay with instantaneous and time-delayed contacts, the two following
safety notes must always be observed:
NOTICE
In the event of external faults such as:
• Cross-circuit fault
• Short circuit to ground
• Current-source short circuit
and to access the configuration mode for copying a delay time after a reset, the following
device behavior must always be taken into account:
The outputs of stop category 0 switch instantaneously, while the outputs of stop category 1
have a time delay.
The sequence cannot be interrupted.
Exception: Switching off the power supply.
NOTICE
Saving the starting command:
1. If the safe state is restored during the time delay, (e.g. the protective door is closed) and the
START button is actuated, the safety-related outputs switch to the active position
immediately after the delay time has elapsed.
The actuation of the START button is saved.
The OFF-delayed enabling contacts or outputs of the 3SK112-CB4 safety relays (relay and
semiconductor outputs) cannot be retriggered. This means that if an OFF command in the
sensor circuit is canceled before the delay time has elapsed, the delay time still elapses in
full length. If a start command has been issued during this time or if autostart has been set,
after this time has elapsed the OFF-delayed enabling contacts switch off briefly and switch
on again immediately with the instantaneous enabling contacts (start command is saved).
2. If a sensor is actuated at an input expansion within the system configuration, the entire
system is disconnected. If the START button on the basic unit is then pressed while the
sensor on the input expansion is actuated (for instance, if the protective door is open), the
command will be saved by the basic unit. This results in an automatic start of the system
once the sensor at the input expansion is reset (for example, a protective door is closed
again). This system response is identical in the system configuration for all 3SK1 basic units.
For additional notes/explanations on this topic, see the following FAQ (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/103655974)
NOTICE
Observe the following in the case of protective doors with tumblers:
If the voltage Us is disconnected on devices with time-delayed outputs between switching the
instantaneous outputs and the time-delayed outputs, the delay time expires when the voltage
Us is restored, and the time-delayed contacts change their switch positions.

9.3 Modes
9.3 Modes
The 3SK1 safety relays have 4 main operating modes:
• Power-up
• Configuration mode
• Safety mode
• Error mode
Power-up
On powering up (up to 7 seconds), the 3SK1 safety relay runs through a complete function test.
Configuration mode
A saved configuration can only be modified in configuration mode.
The configuration must only ever be modified after disconnecting the power supply.
If the device detects a configuration change during the restart (DIP, PAR, potentiometer, input
expansion, output expansion), it does not change automatically to safety mode after power up,
but instead remains in configuration mode.
In configuration mode, those LEDs flash yellow whose ON DIP switch position is on the right; all
other parameter settings are not explicitly indicated.
The configuration is accepted by pressing the SET/RESET button for approximately 1 s.
In configuration mode, the device is in the safe state. No monitoring functions are active.
Note
A configuration change made during operation is not accepted, and in safety mode, this is
indicated by a yellow/green flashing "DEVICE" LED. The device can be restarted by performing a
RESET (pressing the SET/RESET button) or by disconnecting and reconnecting the supply
voltage.
Safety mode (DEVICE LED: green)

In safety mode, all monitoring functions are active in accordance with the set configuration.
Note
Parameterized startup testing is indicated by a green flashing "DEVICE" LED. Only when this has
been successfully executed does the "DEVICE" LED show a green light.
Error mode
Error mode is indicated by a red "DEVICE" LED or by a red "SF" LED. In error mode, the
device ALWAYS changes to the safe state.

9.4 Response times
9.4 Response times
Verification of response times in the case of safety circuits

When safety equipment is commissioned, steps must be taken to verify that a safety-related
output will switch off within a maximum permissible response time if the input signal changes
at the relevant input.
To provide this verification, you must determine the total response time of the application you
have configured.
Note
Note that the calculation of the response time affects the level of safety and governs the overall
design of the system.
You can find the response data of the safety relays in the technical specifications of the respective
devices in the chapter "Technical data (Page 191)".
You can find the response data of the 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters in the technical
specifications in the "SIRIUS 3RM1 motor starters (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/
view/EN/ 66295730)" manual.
Calculation of the response times

To calculate the response times of the overall system configuration, you must add up the
individual response times of all input expansions affected by deactivation and also the response
time of the basic unit.
If output expansions are used, the response times of the relevant output module are also added
to the total time from the sensor to the actuator.
Examples
Example 1
3SK1121-.AB40 + 3SK1211.BB40
Response time: 40 ms 50 ms
Example 2
3 x 3SK1220 + 3SK1122-.AB40 + 3SK1211-.BB40 + 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter

9.4 Response times
Sensor: 4 3 2 1

① 3SK1220 input expansions

② 3SK1122 basic unit
③ 3SK1211 output expansion
④ 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter
Abbreviations in the following formulas:

GG = basic unit; EE = input expansion; AE = output expansion
In the event of shutdown by sensor 1, the total response time is calculated as follows:
• Basic unit = 40 ms
• 3SK1211 output expansion = GG + AE = 40 ms + 10 ms = 50 ms
• 3RM1 Failsafe = GG + 3RM1 Failsafe = 40 ms + 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter response time
• Basic unit = GG + EE 1 + EE 2 = 3 x 40 ms = 120 ms
• 3SK1211 output expansion = GG + EE 1 + EE 2 + AE 3SK1211 = 120 ms + 10 ms = 130 ms
• 3RM1 Failsafe = 120 ms + 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter response time
• Basic unit = 3 x EE response time + GG response time = 160 ms
• 3SK1211 output expansion = total response time EE with GG + AE = 170 ms
• 3RM1 Failsafe = 160 ms + 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter response time

Commissioning 10
Note
Since commissioning of the 3SK1 safety relays is an important, safety-related step, it must be
carried out by qualified personnel.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage
Can cause death, serious injury, or property damage.
Carry out function test of the plant.
To guarantee the safety of the system, a full functional test must be carried out and successfully
concluded following commissioning.
Commissioning 3SK1 safety relays

3SK1 safety relays are commissioned by applying the operating voltage.
After the supply voltage has been applied, all LEDs show a green light for about 1 s (lamp test).
The LEDs then go out for approx. 0.5 s. The device configuration is then displayed on the
configuration LEDs for approx. 3 s.
If no configuration change (DIP, PAR, potentiometer, input expansion, output expansion) has
been detected, the device changes automatically to safety mode and is ready for operation.
However, if the device detects a deviation of the set parameters from the saved configuration,
it remains in safe configuration mode until the new configuration is accepted by pressing the SET/
RESET button.
Note
Observe the following during commissioning:
The cascading input must be bypassed (24 V DC) if it is not to be used.

14.4 Typical circuits of 3SK1 safety relays with 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters
14.4 Typical circuits of 3SK1 safety relays with 3RM1 Failsafe motor
starters
14.4.1 3SK1 safety relay with 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter via device connector
The 3RM13 Failsafe motor starter (24 V DC variant) is connected to a 3SK112 safety relay via a
3ZY12 device connector.
The two directions of rotation are switched on and off operationally via IN1 and IN2, e.g. with
a PLC.
The control supply voltage (L+ and L-) to the motor starters is deactivated by the 3SK112 safety
relay and the system is in a safe state.
Note
SILCL 3 in accordance with EN 62061/PL e in accordance with EN ISO 13849‑1
A safety-related application up to SILCL 3 to EN 62061, PL e/Cat. 4 to EN ISO 13849‑1 can be
realized in this way.
To achieve SILCL 3/PL e/Cat. 4 for the safety-related application, all components of the safety
functions (detecting/evaluating/reacting) must be designed accordingly.
WARNING
Bypassing the safety function when using device connectors
When operating with a 3SK112 safety relay and a device connector, the supply voltage for
3RM1 Failsafe motor starters is established via the device connectors.
In this case, do not connect anything to terminals A1 and A2 of the 3RM1 Failsafe motor starters
in order to prevent bypassing of the safety function.

* If there is a common reference potential for the two inputs, it suffices to establish a ground connec‐
tion.
If there are separate potentials or controls, both connections must be assigned.

Circuit diagrams
14.4.2 3SK1 safety relay wired with 3RM1 Failsafe motor starter
The 3RM13 Failsafe motor starter (230 V supply voltage) is connected to a 3SK1 safety relay.
The two directions of rotation are switched on and off operationally via IN1 and IN2, e.g. with
separate switches.
WARNING
Bypassing the safety function in the event of a fault with 3RM11/3RM13 Failsafe motor
starters with 110 to 230 V AC/110 V DC control supply voltage
The control signal for the control inputs in the case of 3RM11/3RM13 Failsafe motor starters
with 110 to 230 V AC control supply voltage must come from A1. Otherwise, the safety
function is bypassed in the event of a fault. Thus, only relay outputs are admissible when using
a PLC.
Do not use a separate control voltage. Only use the relay outputs when using a PLC.
The control supply voltage (L1 and N) to the motor starters is deactivated by the 3SK1 safety
relay and the system is in a safe state.
Note
SILCL 3 in accordance with EN 62061, PL e/Cat. 4 in accordance with EN ISO 13849‑1
A safety-related application up to SILCL 3 to EN 62061, PL e/Cat. 4 to EN ISO 13849‑1 can be
realized in this way.
To achieve SILCL 3/PL e/Cat. 4 for the safety-related application, all components of the safety
functions (detecting/evaluating/reacting) must be designed accordingly.
Note
A fuse must be fitted as short-circuit protection (4 A gL/gG) in the supply line to the supply
voltage of 3RM1 (L1).
