WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.
Can cause electrical shock
and burns.
Disconnect power before proceeding
with any work on this equipment.
The devices must be installed in a switchgear cabinet with the IP32, IP43 or
IP54 degree of protection, depending on the ambient conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The products described herein are designed to be components of a customized
machinery safety-oriented control system. A complete safety-oriented system
may include safety sensors, evaluators, actuators and signaling components. It
is the responsibility of each company to conduct its own evaluation of the effec-
tiveness of the safety system by trained individuals. Siemens AG, its subsidiar-
ies and affiliates (collectively "Siemens") are not in a position to evaluate all of
the characteristics of a given machine or product or machine not designed by
Siemens.
Siemens accepts no liability for any recommendation that may be implied or
stated herein. The warranty contained in the contract of sale by Siemens is the
sole warranty of Siemens. Any statements contained herein do not create new
warranties or modify existing ones.
Application
The 3RA711. load feeders with integrated safety technology can be used in
EMERGENCY STOP devices in accordance with EN 418 and in safety circuits in
accordance with EN 60 204-1 (11.98), for example for mobile guards or protec-
tive doors. Safety category 4 in accordance with DIN EN 954-1 or SIL3 in accor-
dance with IEC 61508 is stipulated, depending on the external connections.
Functions and connections
The 3RA7111 and 3RA7112 safe load feeders consist of an adapter for rail
mounting with integrated safety-oriented electronics, a circuit-breaker and two
series-connected contactors.
This combination forms a complete load feeder, wired and certified in the fac-
tory, which complies with type of coordination 1 or 2.
The 3RA7110 load feeders without a circuit-breaker are used for separate or
fused mounting.
The load feeder has a safe solid-state output, a safe input for cascading and an
input for operational switching. Three front-mounted LEDs indicate the operat-
ing state.
When the device is put into operation it runs through a self-test to test the cor-
rect functioning of the internal electronics.
All internal circuit components are monitored for faults cyclically during opera-
tion. Expansion units such as 3TK2830/56/57 or 3RA711/2/3/4 or external actu-
ators or loads can be switched via safe output 2. Cascading with the 3TK2841/
42/45/53 or 3RA711 devices is also possible via safe output 2. One-channel cas-
cading is only allowed inside a switch cabinet for Cat. 3/4. It must be ensured that
the actuator / load and the 3RA711. load feeder have the same frame potential.
Details of the external connections of the load feeders should be taken from the
application examples in Fig. IV to Fig. X.
Use a power pack to IEC 60536 safety class III (SELV or PELV)
for power supply!
