Verifying the right level of security for a specific application is not simple and requires some knowledge.
To calculate, for example, the ”PL” level in your particular application, the machine safety standard EN/ISO 13849-1 uses a qualitative risk diagram or flow chart to assign a performance level (PL). This is based on three criterias:
- The severity of the damage (S1/S2)
- Frequency and/or exposure time of danger (F1/F2)
- The possibility to avoid danger or limit damage (P1/P2)
The performance level (PL) is denoted by an alphabetical character (a to d), where PLe is seen as the highest risk level.
K1S is a brand new FNR switch with genuine on-on-on function that meets the highest requirements in safety-critical equipment according to ISO 13849.
