Non-Interfering Modules

Introduction

An M580 safety project can include both safety modules and non-safety modules. You can use non-safety modules only for non-safe tasks. Only non-safety modules that do not interfere with the safety function can be added to a safety project.

Definition of a Non-Interfering Module

CAUTION

INCORRECT USE OF SAFETY-RELATED DATA

Confirm that neither input data nor output data from non-interfering modules are used for controlling safety-related outputs. Non-safety modules can process only non-safety data.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

A non-interfering module is a module which cannot interfere with the safety function. For in-rack M580 modules (BMEx, BMXx, PMXx, and PMEx), there are two types of non-interfering modules:

Type 1: A type 1 module can be installed in the same rack as safety modules (wherever the safety module is placed, in the main or extension rack).
Type 2: A type 2 non-interfering module cannot be installed in the same main rack as safety modules (wherever the safety module is placed, in the main or extension rack).

NOTE: Type 1 and Type 2 modules are listed on TÜV Rheinland website at www.certipedia.com.

For not in-rack Mx80 modules, all Ethernet equipment (DIO or DRS) can be considered as non-interfering, and therefore can be used as part of an M580 safety system.

Type 1 Non-Interfering Modules for SIL3 Applications

The following non-safety modules can qualify as type-1 non-interfering modules in an M580 safety system.

NOTE: The list of type-1 non-interfering non-safety modules may change from time to time. For the current list, visit the TÜV Rheinland website at www.certipedia.com.
