Checking the safety function
Note
You should check the safety function while the device is mounted, if possible. If this is not
possible,
you can also check the safety function when the device is not mounted. Make sure
that the transmitter is mounted in the same position for testing as it is in in the system.
Note
If the transmitter is locked in Mode 10, deactivate the lock to check the safety function.
We recommend that:
●
You check the status for warnings and alarms.
● You check the measurement value limits.
● Simulate various currents and the minimum and maximum fault currents.
● Check the measuring accuracy, which must be within the range of the application-specific
measuring error for the safety function.
– Set the measured value display to a unit of pressure in Mode 13.
– Check the zero point, e.g. in a pressureless state, for gauge and differential pressure.
– Check the zero point for absolute pressure, e.g. by applying a defined pressure.
– Check the upper limit of the measuring range (URL) and the upper limit of the span set
(URV) for gauge, absolute and differential pressure by applying a defined pressure.
– Reset the measured value display to the required value in Mode 13.
● Check the triggering of the safety function.
Protection against configuration changes
After parameterizing/commissioning:
1. Set the lock mode in Mode 10 to write protection "L".
Operation via keys and HART communication is blocked.
2. Protect the keys from unintended change in the parameters, e.g. by lead-sealing.
8.2.3 Requirements
Requirements
Functional safety has the following requirements:
● Only one DS III device is required for single-channel operation in accordance with SIL 2.
● Functional safety up to SIL 2 in accordance with IEC 61508/IEC 61511-1. The firmware
version is listed in the "SIL Declaration of Conformity".
