VPL-A1002F-PJ12AA VPL Low Inertia Motors | Allen Bradley

Functional Safety
Motors that are equipped with a Hiperface DSL functional safety-rated feedback sensor are designed in compliance with the requirements of the
following SICK STEGMANN GmbH documentation to maintain the functional safety rating of the feedback sensor attached. See Catalog
Number Explanation on page 2 for details about each option.
Certification
The TÜV Rheinland group has approved Kinetix VP low-inertia servo motors equipped with functional-safety certified Hiperface DSL digital
encoders to be capable of letting a system achieve a functional safety rating up to Performance Level d (PLd) and safety category 3 (CAT. 3) per
EN ISO 13849, and SIL 2 per IEC 61508, EN 61800-5-2, and EN 62061 when used in conjunction with variable frequency drives that satisfy
functional safety requirements of the HIPERFACE DSL Safety Manual (SICK STEGMANN GmbH, publication 8017596/YLR0).

Important Safety Considerations
In addition to the instructions throughout this document, you are also responsible for the following:
• Complete a machine-level risk assessment.
• Certification of the machine to the desired EN ISO 13849 performance level or EN 62061 SIL level.
• Project management and proof testing in accordance with EN 61800-5-2.
• The safe-motor feedback system has a maximum Mission Time of 20 years. After this time, the feedback system must be taken out of
service.
• The motor feedback system cannot support safety functions that are based on the absolute position without additional measures. In the case
of safety functions that are based on the safe absolute position, the motor feedback system supplies only one channel without safety-related
diagnostics upon powerup. You must implement a second channel by using other measures.
• The motor feedback system is not able to create a safe state for the drive system independently. The drive system creates the safe state as a
response to an error displayed by the motor feedback system.
• To plan and use motors equipped with safety-rated feedback sensors requires technical skills that are not explained in this document.
ATTENTION: High voltage can be present on the shields of the single motor cable if the shields are not grounded.
Verify there is a connection to ground for all shields in the single motor cable.

IMPORTANT In accordance with the feedback sensor manufacturer, you must mount a HIPERFACE DSL motor feedback system (used for a safety function) in an
installation situation with a minimum protection class of IP54 according to standard IEC60529:1989 + A1:1999 + A2:2013.
