Description
The PI-EX-SD-24-48 solenoid driver connects a signaling
device installed in the safe area to a device located in the Ex
area. The block itself is installed outside the Ex area or in
zone 2.
Solenoid valves, alarm blocks or other intrinsically safe
devices can be connected, and basic electrical equipment,
such as LEDs, can be operated.
The safety data is designed so that loads can be operated in
an IIC group gas.

Base elements
The device is designed for installation in the control cabinet
and must be plugged into a base element (basic terminal
block, electronics base or motherboard). Incorrect
connection of the electronic module is prevented by a
keyway in the base element and bars in the housing. A
locking clip 9 is provided to prevent accidental removal of
the device. To remove the electronic module, gently press
the locking clip towards the housing; it can then be
removed.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
If the device has been used in nonintrinsically safe circuits, it must not be used
again in intrinsically safe circuits.
The module must be clearly labeled as nonintrinsically safe.

Calculating a valve circuit
The base element is not keyed by default upon delivery. The
user-friendly keying is located in the electronic module and
consists of four plastic parts, which are joined together.
When the electronic module is first removed, the bottom
part of the keying pins (0 in Figure 2 on page 7) remains in
the base element. In this way, it is automatically keyed to the
relevant electronic module.
If an electronic module is accidentally inserted in the wrong
place, any plastic parts remaining in the base element can
be removed using a screwdriver.

USV: The voltage which is present at the coil with ISV.
RSV and USV are determined by the copper resistance,
which depends on the ambient temperature.
The values for RSV and ISV must be obtained from the valve
manufacturer. The values for Ri and UV can be found in the
technical data under "Output" on page 3.
The permissible cable resistance can be determined
according to the following formula:
Recommendation:
RC =
UV

ISV
– Ri – RSV
For RC, an actual cable
resistance of +25 Ω should
be calculated.
In the event of a negative resistance, it is no longer
guaranteed that the connection will function.
(Lc and Cc or Lo and Ro
are dependent on the
cables/lines used.)
Requirements for operation: IV ≥ ISV and RC > 0 Ω.

Proof test
Even where the PFDAVG value is 0, it is still recommended
that you check the function of the valve burner in conjunction
with the entire safety loop.
1. Take appropriate steps to prevent incorrect use.
Prevent other areas of the system from being affected
by the proof test
(e.g., set the control system to test mode).
2. When a voltage of between 20 V and 30 V is applied at
the input, check whether a voltage > 0 can be measured
at the output terminal blocks.
The field device must switch at the same time.
3. Restore the safety circuit to full functionality.
4. Return to normal operation.
PFD = Probability of Failure on Demand
Since the PFDAVG value is 0, it is not necessary to perform
regular proof tests. This is, however, still recommended
(see Section 9.6).

Management summary
This report summarizes the results of the hardware assessment carried out on the solenoid
drivers type PI-EX-SD-**-** with a corresponding motherboard and on the solenoid drivers with
top hat rail design, MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP and MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP-SP.
Table 1 gives an overview of the different devices. Within each type the different devices have
the same circuit diagram.

The hardware assessment consists of a Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostics Analysis
(FMEDA). A FMEDA is one of the steps taken to achieve functional safety assessment of a
device per IEC 61508. From the FMEDA, failure rates are determined and consequently the
Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) is calculated for the device. For full assessment purposes all
requirements of IEC 61508 must be considered.
The failure rates used in this analysis are the basic failure rates from the Siemens standard
SN 29500.
According to table 2 of IEC 61508-1 the average PFD for systems operating in low demand
mode has to be ≥10-4 to < 10-3 for SIL 3 safety functions. However, as the modules under
consideration are only one part of an entire safety function they should not claim more than
10% of this range, i.e. they should be better than or equal to 1,00E-04.
The solenoid drivers type PI-EX-SD-**-** with a corresponding motherboard and the solenoid
drivers with top hat rail design, MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP and MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-****-LP-SP are considered to be Type A1 components with a hardware fault tolerance of 0.
For Type A components the SFF has to be 90% to < 99% according to table 2 of IEC 61508-2
for SIL 3 (sub-) systems with a hardware fault tolerance of 0.
The solenoid drivers PI-EX-SD-**-** and MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP and MACX MCR-EXSL-SD-**-**-LP-SP are operated in passive mode, and can therefore be regarded as loop
powered modules. Because loop powered modules are directly driven from the digital output of
a safety PLC there is no additional power supply which can keep the output energized in case
of an internal fault. Thus all internal faults have either no effect on the safety function or lead to
a safe state.

The above results show that the solenoid drivers PI-EX-SD-**-** with Motherboard and MACX
MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP and MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP-SP - both when loop powered can be used for all safety applications.
The calculations are based on the assumption that the devices are mounted in an environment
that is IP 54 compliant (e.g. housing, control cabinet or control room).
The failure rates are valid for the useful life of the solenoid drivers PI-EX-SD-**-** and MACX
MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP and MACX MCR-EX-SL-SD-**-**-LP-SP (see Appendix 1).
2
It is assumed that practical fault insertion tests can demonstrate the correctness of the failure effects assumed
during the FMEDAs.
3
In order to deal with the excluded faults in the quantitative analysis it might be reasonable to consider a dangerous
failure rate of 0.1 FIT, leading to a SFF of 99,97% and a PFDAVG of 4,38E-06 for a proof time of 10 years.
