Working Principle:
The SLS 1508 receives safety-critical input signals from field devices through its 16 digital input channels. The dual redundant CPUs independently execute the safety logic program and cross-check results. When a safety condition is detected, the module activates the appropriate relay outputs to initiate protective actions. The redundant architecture ensures that a single CPU failure does not compromise safety function execution.
Installation Requirements:
- Mount in a compatible DeltaV SIS rack
- Connect field wiring to the terminal block
- Establish redundant communication links via SISNet
- Ensure proper grounding and shielding
Usage Precautions:
- Verify SIL rating compatibility with the safety function requirements
- Perform regular proof testing as specified in the safety manual
- Ensure redundant pair synchronization before commissioning
- Follow IEC 61511 lifecycle management requirements
