Rockwell Automation Publication PFLEX-UM003D-EN-P - June 2021
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 PFDavg 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.
