3.4 Design features
3.4.1 Implementation details
The following steps shall be considered during the implementation of the proposed
approach (see Figure 5) for usage of digital standard I/Os in functional safety applica-
tions up to PL c (ISO 13849-1) in our example:
1. Use channel C16 of DC523 as an output in PM573 standard CPU program and
implement continuous pulsing (periodic TRUE and FALSE phases), as it is
specified in Figure 5, using e.g., TON FB. One can also define a dedicated cyclic
task on PM573 with 5 ms cycle and priority = 10 to continuously change the
value of channel C16 in the software loop keeping the periodic pulse behaviour
as it is shown in Figure 5.
NOTICE
The selected cycle time for test pulse generation task on standard
CPU program will influence the generated test pulse pattern.
The supervision of the test pattern (length of LOW and HIGH
phases) will be implemented on the Safety CPU. Thus, any devia-
tion of the test pulse pattern will be detected by the Safety CPU,
which will have to trigger the safe state for the given input channel
in case of a wrong test pattern.
2. Continuously read C0 input channel (with input delay parameter (refer to [4] for
details) set to 1 ms for input channels) of DC523 module in the application pro-
gram on PM573 CPU (make sure that the cycle time on the PM573 task is
properly selected, e.g., 2 ms cycle time with cyclic behaviour and priority = 11
for the task are proper ones for the given example).
3. Activate continuous sending of C0 channel value from PM573 application pro-
gram to SM560-S Safety CPU application program for safe test pattern super-
vision. To send C0 channel value to SM560-S from PM573, one can use:
a. SF_DPRAM_PM5XX_S_REC and SF_DPRAM_PM5XX_S_SEND FBs
from SafetyExt_AC500_V22.lib [1] or
b. Cyclic Non-safe Data Exchange [2], which has higher performance of
data transfer than using SF_DPRAM_PM5XX_S_REC and
SF_DPRAM_PM5XX_S_SEND FBs.
