Introduction
This safety function application technique is concerned primarily with the Logic and Output subsystems of a safety system.
The document illustrates how to combine a Guardmaster® dual-input safety relay (GSR DI) and Guardmaster
multifunction-delay expansion module (GSR EMD) with a PowerFlex® 525 drive or a PowerFlex 527 drive to provide a
category 1 stop. The category 1 stop provides a brief delay between the stop request to the programmable automation
controller (PAC) and the de-energizing of the STO inputs to allow the system time to execute an orderly stop before the
STO inputs are de-energized. The intent is to provide a less disruptive, but safe, response to a sudden emergency stop
demand.
In an actual application, any typical safety input device could be used as the Input subsystem if properly applied. A
SensaGuard™ switch, as in Safety Function: Door Monitoring Products: SensaGuard/GSR DI, publication SAFETY-
AT069, is used as a convenient example of an Input subsystem in this application technique.
Safety Function Realization: Risk Assessment
The required performance level is the result of a risk assessment and refers to the amount of the risk reduction to be carried
out by the safety-related parts of the control system. Part of the risk reduction process is to determine the safety functions of
the machine. In this application, the performance level required (PLr) by the risk assessment is Category 3, Performance
Level d (CAT. 3, PLd), for each safety function. A safety system that achieves CAT. 3, PLd, or higher, can be considered
IMPORTANT
This application example is for advanced users and assumes that you are trained and experienced in safety system requirements.
ATTENTION: Perform a risk assessment to make sure all task and hazard combinations have been identified and addressed. The risk
assessment can require additional circuitry to reduce the risk to a tolerable level. Safety circuits must take into consideration safety
distance calculations, which are not part of the scope of this document.

Stop Safety Functions
This application technique includes two safety functions:
1. Safety-related stop function initiated by a safeguard.
2. Prevention of an unexpected startup.
Safety Function Requirements
Safety-related Stop Function Initiated by a Safeguard
When a partial-access guard door is opened, the Input subsystem initiates and maintains a stop command for the safety
system to stop hazardous motion before a person can reach the hazardous area. The stop command cannot be reset until the
guard door is closed.
Prevention of an Unexpected Startup
The safety system cannot be reset, and hazardous motion cannot be restarted while the guard door is open. Once the guard
door is closed and the stop command is reset, a second action (pressing a Start button) is required before the hazardous
motion can resume. This document presumes that the Start/Stop button is connected to and controlled by the
programmable automation controller (PAC).

Functional Safety Description
The Guardmaster dual-input safety relay, Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module, and PowerFlex drives with
integrated safe torque-off (STO) use 1oo2 architecture to achieve the PFH value that is used in the PL calculation
verification section of this document.
The Guardmaster dual-input safety relay monitors its safety inputs for valid status and faults. It monitors its internal
circuitry for proper operation and faults. The safety relay monitors its single wire safety (SWS) input/output (I/O) for
valid status and faults. It monitors its safety output contacts for proper, valid status and faults. When it receives a safety
demand on its inputs, or an invalid status or a fault is detected, the safety relay deactivates its safety outputs and sends a
safety stop command to the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module via its L11 SWS.
The Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module monitors its SWS input for safety stop commands, valid status,
and faults. It monitors its internal circuitry for proper operation and faults. It monitors its safety output contacts for proper,
valid status and faults. When it receives a non-fault safety demand via its L12 SWS input, it deactivates its safety outputs in
the manner for which it is configured. In this document, the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module is
configured to provide a 100 ms delay. In the event of an internal fault, or a fault signaled via the SWS, the Guardmaster
multifunction-delay expansion module immediately de-energizes its safety outputs.
The PowerFlex drive monitor its STO inputs for valid status and faults. The drive monitors its internal safety circuits for
valid status and faults. The drive monitors its outputs for valid status and faults. When the Guardmaster dual-input safety
relay de-energizes the drive STO inputs via the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module, the drive's STO
feature forces the drive output power transistors to a disabled state. The hazardous motion controlled by the drive coasts to
a stop. This feature does not provide electrical power isolation.
The system cannot be restarted until the gate is closed and the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay is reset. Once the safety
relay is reset, the PAC-controlled Start button can be pressed to start the hazardous motion.
Hardwired STO Safe Torque Off Considerations for a Category 1 Stop
In the event of a malfunction, it is possible that stop category 0 may occur. When designing the machine application, timing
and distance must be considered for a coast to stop, as well as the possibility of the loss of control of a vertical load. The
nature of a malfunction causing this condition could be if a hardwired STO input to the drive were to go low (i.e. a wire
falls off ) before the drive has a chance to completely stop the motor. Use additional protective measures if this occurrence
might introduce unacceptable risks to personnel.
IMPORTANT
The vendor must provide probability of failure per hour (PFH) and all relevant functional safety data for all the subsystems of this
safety system necessary to prove that the overall safety functions meet the requirements for Performance Level d (PLd), per ISO
13849-1.

System Overview
Safety-related Stop Function Initiated by a Safeguard
The Guardmaster dual-input safety relay monitors the status of a safety input device, for example a SensaGuard switch.
When the input device is tripped (guard door opened), the safety relay de-energizes its two safety outputs and sends a
safety stop command downstream to the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module via its SWS. After the
100 ms configured delay time, the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module deactivates its safety outputs,
which remove power from the drive's (PowerFlex 525 or PowerFlex 527 drive) STO inputs. The drive disables its output
power transistors, leaving the hazardous motion to coast to a stop. When the input device is returned to its safe state (guard
door closed), and the reset button is pressed and released properly, the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay’s safety outputs
energize, the Guardmaster multifunction delay expansion module energizes its safety outputs, and the drive's STO inputs
are powered. The hazardous motion can then be restarted by pressing a PAC-controlled Start button.
Prevention of an Unexpected Start-up
The Guardmaster dual-input safety relay cannot be reset while its input device is in a tripped (guard door open) state. The
Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module cannot reset until the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay is reset, the
drive's STO inputs remain off, and the hazardous motion cannot be restarted. When the input device is returned to its safe
state (guard door closed), and the reset button is pressed and released properly, the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay’s
safety outputs energize, the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module energizes its safety outputs, and the drive's
STO inputs are powered. The hazardous motion can then be restarted by pressing a PAC-controlled Start button.

Safety Distance Calculations
Detailed calculation of a proper safety distance is beyond the scope of this document, but some considerations follow.
Safeguarding systems must make certain that a person cannot reach a hazardous motion before the safeguarding system has
brought that hazardous motion to a halt. This is addressed in safety standards relevant to this application:
• IS0 14119 (Safety of machinery - Interlocking devices associated with guards - Principles for design and selection)
• ISO 18355 (Safety of machinery - Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the
human body)
• ANSI B11.19 (Performance Criteria for Safeguarding)
Safety Distance and Access Time
Safety distance is the distance between the guarded access point and the hazardous motion necessary to make certain that a
person cannot access a hazardous motion before it is stopped, that is, the hazard has ceased.
This document uses, as an example, an interlocking device (SensaGuard switch) monitoring a partial-body access gate.
Imagine that this access gate allows a person time to reach their arm 762 mm (30 inches) into the potentially hazardous area
to perform an occasional, necessary task.
ISO 14119 3.22 defines access time as the time taken by a person to reach the hazard zone after initiation of the stop
command by the interlocking device (the SensaGuard actuator moving beyond sensing range), as calculated on the basis of
an approach speed of the body or part of the body, in our case, a hand.
ISO 13855 defines the approach speed of a hand as 1600 mm per sec. Using this value, we calculate the access time:
762 mm/1600 mm per sec or 476 ms
ANSI B11:19 defines the approach speed of a hand as 63 in. per sec. Using this value, we calculate the access time:
30 in./63 in. per sec or 476 ms
Overall System Stopping Performance
ISO 14119 6.2.1 stipulates that the overall system stopping time for a hazardous machine safeguarded by an interlock must
be less than the access time. If the overall system stopping performance is equal to or greater than the access time, an
interlock with guard-locking must be used, the distance from the safeguard to the hazard must be increased, or a different,
more suitable method must be used to safeguard the hazard. In this document, the overall system stopping performance of
our application, using an interlock must, therefore, be less than 476 ms.
The overall stopping performance of these applications is the sum of the response time of the input device (SensaGuard
switch), the response time of Guardmaster dual-input safety relay, the response time of the Guardmaster multifunction-
delay expansion module, the delay configured in the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module, the safety
reaction time of the drive used (PowerFlex 525 or PowerFlex 527 drive), and the coast-to-stop time of the hazardous
motion. The response and reaction times can be taken from the product support literature.
IMPORTANT
The overall system stopping performance of a safeguarding system must be determined by actual system testing and
measurement. The worst-case, overall system stopping performance from these tests and measurements must be used to
evaluate the safety distance requirements.
8 Rockwell Automation Publication SAFETY-AT140A-EN-P - May 2015
Safety Function: Actuator Subsystems – Stop Category 1 via the PowerFlex 525 and PowerFlex 527 Drives with Safe Torque-off
The sum response/reaction time of the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay, Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion
module, Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module delay, and PowerFlex drive, and worst-case, coast-to-stop
portion of the overall system-stopping performance is the same regardless of the input device used.
It may be useful to estimate how fast the hazardous motion must coast to a stop before the safeguarded system is available
for testing.
The maximum safe coast-to-stop time for a system using the PowerFlex 525 drive can be calculated as follows:
SensaGuard switch (SG) + Guardmaster dual-input safety relay (GSR DI) + Guardmaster multifunction-delay
expansion module (GSR EMD) + Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module delay (EMDd) + PowerFlex
525 drive (drive) = overall system stopping performance less maximum safe coast-to-stop time
54 ms (SG) + 35 ms (GSR DI) + 35 ms (EMD) + 100 ms (EMDd) + 100 ms (drive) = 324 ms = overall system
stopping performance time less the estimated maximum safe coast-to-stop time
476 ms - 324 ms = 152 ms = estimated maximum safe coast-to-stop time
The maximum safe coast-to-stop time for a system using the PowerFlex 527 drive can be calculated as f ollows:
SensaGuard switch (SG) + Guardmaster dual-input safety relay (GSR DI) + Guardmaster multifunction-delay
expansion module (GSR EMD) + Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module delay (GSR EMDd) +
PowerFlex 527 drive (drive) = overall system stopping performance less maximum safe coast-to-stop time.
54 ms (SG) + 35 ms (GSR DI) + 35 ms (GSR EMD) + 100 ms (EMDd) + 12 ms (drive) = 236 ms = overall system
stopping performance time less the estimated maximum safe coast-to-stop time
476 ms - 236 ms = 240 ms = estimated maximum safe coast-to-stop time.

Configure the PowerFlex 525 Drive
The PowerFlex 525 drive is configured by using Connected Components Workbench™ software, version 7 or later. A
detailed description of how to fully configure the PowerFlex 525 drive is beyond the scope of this document. For more
information about this drive, refer to the PowerFlex 520-Series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive User Manual, publication
520-UM001
The PowerFlex 525 drive must have the following four parameters adjusted to perform as intended in the document.
Parameters 46, 62, and 63 must be set as above for the Start/Stop button to operate as intended.
Parameter 105 configures the PowerFlex 525 drive to accept the STO inputs without generating a spurious F111 fault.
By default, the PowerFlex 525 drive provides a coast-to-stop in response to an STO input. This action overrides any other
stop type that might be configured for the drive for its normal production stop.
Configure the PowerFlex 527 Drive
The PowerFlex 527 drive is configured by using Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment™. A detailed
description of how to fully configure the PowerFlex 527 drive is beyond the scope of this document. For more information
about this drive, refer to PowerFlex 527 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive User Manual, publication 520-UM002
.
By default, the PowerFlex 527 drive provides a coast-to-stop in response to an STO input. This action overrides any other
stop type that might be configured for the drive for its standard stop.
For a stop category 1, after a demand, an immediate controlled stop should be executed using a Motion Axis Stop or
Motion Servo Off command.
Calculation of the Performance Level
When properly implemented, both the PowerFlex 525 and PowerFlex 527 drives with safe torque-off (STO) can be used in
a safety function that has a Performance Level required (PLr) rating of Category 3, Performance Level d (CAT. 3, PLd),
according to ISO 13849-1: 2008, as calculated by using the Safety Integrity Software Tool for the Evaluation of Machine
Applications (SISTEMA).
IMPORTANT
Both the PowerFlex 525 and PowerFlex 527 drives ship with the STO feature disabled by jumpers. Refer to the appropriate user

Verification and Validation Plan
Verification and validation play important roles in the avoidance of faults throughout the safety system design and
development process. ISO 13849-2 sets the requirements for verification and validation. The standard calls for a
documented plan to confirm that all of the safety functional requirements have been met.
Verification is an analysis of the resulting safety control system. The Performance Level (PL) of the safety control system is
calculated to confirm that the system meets the required Performance Level (PLr) specified. The SISTEMA software is
typically used to perform the calculations and assist with satisfying the requirements of ISO 13849-1.
Validation is a functional test of the safety control system to demonstrate that the system meets the specified requirements
of the safety function. The safety control system is tested to confirm that all of the safety-related outputs respond
appropriately to their corresponding safety-related inputs. The functional test includes normal operating conditions in
addition to potential fault injection of failure modes. A checklist is typically used to document the validation of the safety
control system.
This document uses, as an example, a SensaGuard switch for an input device. Notice that in the validation process, all of the
purposely-created faults are created at the input terminals of the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay. All of the relay’s
responses to these faults are the same as they would be using any typical input device with OSSD outputs, or an electro-
mechanical input device using the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay pulse test output feature.
Some of the SensaGuard switch’s reactions to these faults are unique to the SensaGuard switch, as some responses from
other OSSD devices might be unique to those devices.
The responses of the PowerFlex 527 drive and the PowerFlex 525 drive to faults on their STO inputs are the same.
Therefore, the following tests, using purposely-created faults, are appropriate for either drive.
