6.4 Proof test (SIL)
According to IEC 61508.
The OPTISWITCH 3200 C is qualified for use in measuring chains of
level SIL2 according to IEC 61508 (redundant, level SIL3).
The following instrument combinations meet the requirements ac-
cording to SIL:
OPTISWITCH 3200 C
•
Oscillator WE60N
The proof test according to IEC 61508 can be carried out by push-
ing the simulation key on the electronics module or by briefly (> 2
seconds) interrupting the cable to the sensor. The correct sequence
of the switching conditions must be monitored via the switching
amplifier as well as the connected systems. The sensor must neither
be removed nor response must be triggered by filling the vessel. This
applies to OPTISWITCH 3200 C with NAMUR electronics module
WE60N.
You can carry out the function test with the output current values also
directly via a safety PLC or a process control system.
A function test can be carried out for measurement setups in conjunc-
tion with the NAMUR electronics module WE60N. For this purpose,
the switching delay must be set to 0.5 s. OPTISWITCH 3200 C has
an integrated simulation key. The simulation key is lowered on the
electronics module. Push the simulation key for > 2 seconds.
If OPTISWITCH 3200 C is connected to an SPLC, you have to inter-
rupt the connection cable to the sensor for > 2 seconds.
After releasing the simulation key or briefly interrupting the connection
cable to the sensor, you can check the complete measuring system
on correct function. A switching procedure is simulated during the
test.
