1 Report Summary
This report summarizes the results of the FMEDA that was carried out for the relay modules
PSR-S..P- 24UC/ESAM4/3X1/1X2/B (short PSR-ESAM4/3X1_B)
PSR-S..P- 24UC/ESAM4/2X1/1X2 (short PSR-ESAM4/2X1)
The module PSR-ESAM4/3X1_B under consideration has three NO contacts (13-14, 23-24,
33-34) and one NC contact (41-42). It’s available as a screw pluggable (SCP) and a spring
pluggable version (SPP).
The module PSR-ESAM4/2X1 under consideration has two NO contacts (13-14, 23-24,) and
one NC contact (31-32). It’s available as a screw pluggable (SCP) and a spring pluggable
version (SPP).
Failure rates used in this report are calculated using the Siemens standard SN29500 for all
components of the module except the relays.
The failure rate of the relay is calculated via SN29500-7 for low-demand-application only. For
low-demand-application a failure direction for the relay contact was used: 80 % contacts
stays open and 20 % contact stays closed.
As a constant failure is without sense in frequently switching applications the failure rate of
the relays is calculated via B10d method while used in high demand.
In this case the failure rate is dived into 50% / 50% with a DC of 99% by using forcibly guided
contacts in the logic for diagnostics.
According to the table 2 of IEC 61508-1 the average PFD of a safety function with low
demand rate should not exceed 10-3 and the maximum PFH of a safety function with high
demand rate should not exceed 10-7. However, as the relay is considered not for standalone
use but as part of a safety-function, its maximum claim of the safety-loop should not exceed
15% of that range.
The results of this document are compressed into table 1 and 2 on the next page.

Output 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34: One NO contact of each forcibly guided relay is switched in
series.
Single-channel
In case of logic 0 at A1-A2 the output is not conducting.
In case of logic 1 at A1-A2 the output is conducting.
Two-channel
In case of logic sensor is closed S11-S12, S21-S22 and reset is applied the output is
conducting.
In case of logic sensor is open S11-S12 and S21-S22 the output is not conducting.
Output 31-32 or 41-42: One NC contact of each forcibly guided relay is switched in
parallel. This contact is not part of the DTS safety consideration.
Single-channel
In case of logic 0 at A1-A2 the output is conducting.
In case of logic 1 at A1-A2 the output is not conducting.
Two-channel
In case of logic sensor is closed S11-S12, S21-S22 and reset is applied the output is not
conducting.
In case of logic sensor is open S11-S12 and S21-S22 the output is conducting.
PSR-S..P- 24UC/ESAM4/3X1/1X2/B:
The safe state of the module is defined as contact paths 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34 not
conducting.
The input A1-A2 is de-energized or one path S11-S12 or S21-S22 is opened and minimum
one relay contact in contact paths 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34 is not conducting.
PSR-S..P- 24UC/ESAM4/2X1/1X2:
The safe state of the module is defined as contact paths 13-14 and 23-24 not
conducting.
The input A1-A2 is de-energized or one path S11-S12 or S21-S22 is opened and minimum
one relay contact in contact paths 13-14 and 23-24 is not conducting.
“dangerous (D)”:
A dangerous failure (D) is defined as a failure that does not respond to a demand from the
process (e.g. being unable to go to the defined fail-safe state).
“annunciation (A)”:
An annunciation failure (A) is defined as a failure that does not directly impact safety but
does impact the ability to detect a future fault (such as a fault in a diagnostic circuit). When
calculating the SFF this failure mode is not taken into account. It is also not part of the safety
functions total failure rate.
Note:
A DC (Diagnostic Coverage) factor can be applied to all failure modes so that the
corresponding detected / undetected distribution is generated.
Failure rates are constant, wear out mechanisms are not included.
Failure rates are bases on the Siemens standard SN29500
Propagation of failures is not assumed
Component failure modes are fully known (Type A device)
The repair time after a safe failure is 8 hours (component is not repaired but
exchanged)
The beta-factor has been calculated to 2% for the redundant parts
No DC was applied while the FMEDA for low demand was performed.
While the proof test of the device may be longer than four years we recommend
switching at least once in four years to counteract cold welding of the contacts.
The failure rate of the relays was divided into 80% safe and 20% dangerous failures
while in low demand of operation.

The

PSR-S..P- 24UC/ESAM4/2X1/1X2 (short ESAM4)
can be proof tested by simply de-energizing the module and restarting it. If the module
should not start both relays (Status LED K1 and Status LED K2), it must be changed.
Proof testing has to be done every 5.5 years in low demand DTS (De-energized to Safe)
applications. In high demand DTS applications with applied diagnostics no special proof test
has to be made within the useful lifetime of the module. At the end of the lifetime no proof
test shall be made but the module should be exchanged. The lifetime of the module can be
limited by the number of switching cycles. This should be considered during layout of the
safety function.
