General Description
Functional Proof Tests
The functional safety standards require that functional proof tests be
performed on the equipment used in the system. Proof tests are performed at
user-defined intervals and are dependent upon PFD and PFH values.
Contact Information if Safety Option Failure Occurs
If you experience a failure with any safety-certified device, contact your local
Rockwell Automation distributor. With this contact, you can:
• return the device to Rockwell Automation so the failure is appropriately
logged for the catalog number affected and a record is made of the failure.
• request a failure analysis (if necessary) to determine the probable cause of
the failure.
IMPORTANT
Your specific application determines the time frame for the proof test interval.
