7u-remote IP20 modules for functional safety manual 1484600000/07/11.2020
be designed so that a single failure in the control system 
does not lead to a loss of safety function(s), and whenever 
reasonably practicable, a single failure is detected during or 
prior to the next demand upon the safety function, or if this 
is not possible, an accumulation of faults does not lead to 
the loss of the safety function(s).
Requirements on sensors / signal generators
The sensors / signal generators being connected must meet 
the following requirements:
 – Only signal generators that are suited for the respective 
required safety level may be used.
 – Positively opening control switches must be used in 
accordance with IEC60947-5-1 (designated with this 
symbol:  ).
 – Only use components that have been proven in operation.
 – Depending on the established risk level, switches (e.g. for 
position monitoring) may have to have a redundant 
design. 
 – Depending on the required safety level, control devices 
may have to have a redundant design. In this regard, 
make sure to take into account the applicable C stan-
dards.
