MACX MCR-SL-(2)I-(2)I-ILP(-SP) 8.1 Safety function
The defined safety function for the devices applies for the
input signal range of 4 ... 20 mA.
The device transfers a measuring signal of 4 ... 20 mA -
electrically isolated - into an output signal of 4 ... 20 mA with
a tolerance of 2%. The input signals are transferred in a
linear 1:1 ratio.
The fault signal is defined for the ranges between <3.6 mA
and >21 mA.
The analog output signal has to be evaluated using a
downstream logic unit.
In the case of a two-channel, redundant application (1oo2),
you must compare the values and establish a safe state
when exceeding a certain tolerance.

8.2 Operating mode


Operating mode in accordance with EN 61508: "low
requirement rate" or "high requirement rate" (six
requirements per minute maximum)

8.3 Relevant standards


The device can be used in safety-related applications up to
SIL 3 (systematic capability SC3). The standards relevant to
the intended purpose, such as EN 61508, EN 61511, and
EN 62061 must be applied.

Possible procedure for recurring checks for


discovering dangerous and undetected device failures
A calibrated simulator (0/4 ... 20 mA current) or a sensor
simulator and one or ideally two calibrated digital
multimeters are required in order to check the devices.
1. Take appropriate steps to prevent incorrect use.
2. Disconnect the safety circuit from further processing.
3. Connect the current simulator to the input of the
repeater power supply/signal conditioner, or the sensor
simulator to the input of the measuring transducer.
4. Connect the digital multimeters to the input and output
of the repeater power supply/signal conditioner.
5. At the input of the device or at the input of the measuring
transducer, set the setpoints for the start and end of the
measuring range and a mean value (for example, 50%)
with the sensor simulator. A check is necessary to
ensure that the measurement deviation lies within the
specified tolerances.
6. Measure the current in the repeater power supply/signal
conditioner. The output must be set to the same value.

8.11 Abbreviations

Abbreviation Meaning
DCD Diagnostic coverage of dangerous failures Diagnostic coverage of dangerous failures: DCD = DD/(DU + DD)
DCS Diagnostic coverage of safe failures Diagnostic coverage of safe failures: DCS = SD/(SU + SD)
FIT Failure in time 1 FIT = 1 failure/109 h
HFT Hardware fault tolerance Hardware fault tolerance: ability of a function unit to continue with the ex-
ecution of a demanded function despite existing faults or deviations
D Rate of dangerous failures Proportion of dangerous failures per hour
DD Rate of dangerous detected failures Proportion of detected dangerous failures per hour
DU Rate of dangerous undetected failures Proportion of undetected dangerous failures per hour
S Rate of safe failures Proportion of safe failures per hour
SD Rate of safe detectable failures Proportion of detectable safe failures per hour
SU Rate of safe undetectable failures Proportion of undetectable safe failures per hour
MTBF Mean time between failures Mean time between consecutive failures
PFDavg Average probability of failure on demand Average probability of dangerous failure on demand of a safety func-
tion
PFHD Probability of a dangerous failure per hour Probability of failure per hour for the safety function
PL Performance level The performance level indicates the capability of safety-related parts
of a control system to carry out a safety function in foreseeable con-
ditions (PL: a, b, c, d, e)
SFF Safe failure fraction Proportion of safe failures: proportion of failures without the potential
to set the safety-related system to a dangerous or impermissible
function state
SIL Safety integrity level International standard IEC 61508 defines four discrete safety integ-
rity levels (SIL 1 to 4). Each level corresponds to a probability range
for the failure of a safety function. The higher the safety integrity level
of safety-related systems, the lower the probability that the de-
manded safety functions will not be performed.
