4.4.2. Use as acoustic warning system when hazardous statuses are detected
When used as a warning system following the detection of hazardous statuses, the generation of an acoustic warning
signal must be assessed as a safety function.
A measurement records a dangerous condition and introduces the safe condition by controlling the acoustic warning
system (personnel/operator is warned).
Note: The warning of people is a voluntary measure as it requires willing handling of one or more people. This archi-
tecture only corresponds to the requirements of the European Machinery Directive if, according to state-of-the-art
technology, no constructive safety or other voluntary measure is possible to reach a safe condition.
The diagnosis can only be taken into account if there is regular, automated function checking, the minimum interval of
which must be in accordance with approx. ten to one hundred times the requirement rate according to IEC/EN61508.
This possibility is only available in low demand mode and is further described and evaluated in section 4.4.2.2.
