At Festo, quality has many
aspects – one of these is handling machines safely. This is the
reason behind our safety-orientated automation technology. It
gives you the certainty that your
workplace is as safe as possible.

This brochure is intended as a
guide.
It covers the core questions
relating to safety-orientated
pneumatics:
• Why use safety-orientated
pneumatics?
• How can I identify the risk
posed by a system or machine
to the operator or user?
• Which standards and
directives apply?
• What safety measures are
derived from these?
• What are the most common
safety measures?
Simple and helpful: In the
second part of the brochure, you
can find sample circuit diagrams
for the most common safety
functions related to pneumatic
drives and the associated product combinations from Festo.
These can be used to solve many
safety functions.
If you have further requirements,
our specialists worldwide will be
happy to help.

Reduce risk – think preventively
Machines have to be designed in
a way that protects people,
animals, property and the environment from harm. The goal
is to prevent physical damage
of any type. Using safetyorientated pneumatics from
Festo provides you with the
security of implementing safety
measures in compliance with the
EC machinery directive. You can
reliably prevent collisions or
uncontrolled restarts after an
emergency stop, for example.
At the same time, using safetyorientated pneumatics also minimises the risk of liability claims.
4
Simple – but safe!
The EC machinery directive specifies a risk analysis and assessment for machines. Protection
goals are derived and defined
from this directive. The protection goals are achieved using
various safety functions. Safetyorientated pneumatics from
Festo, in the form of
• Components
• Circuits
• Engineering
make it easy to achieve your
safety objectives. Safe operation
of machines should be possible
in all modes and stages of their
service life.
Safety-orientated pneumatics
from Festo provides you with
solutions for
• Commissioning
• Automatic/manual operation
• Setting operation
• Risk situations and emergency
functions, such as safe stopping, safe exhausting.
• Restarting -> protection against
unexpected starting up
• Servicing/maintenance
In general, the simpler the safety
engineering used in the application, the more efficient it is.
The complexity of safety engineering is in the variety of
state combinations and transitional states.
In addition to this, if errors
occur, they must not lead to
failure of the safety functions,
depending on their hazard
potential.
Due to their flexible application,
pneumatic drive systems from
Festo need to be included in the
risk analysis and assessment for
each machine, depending on the
application.
As a result, it would seem almost impossible to implement
standardised safety engineering
concepts.
Festo provides solutions on the
basis of risk analyses and
assessments for the most common applications. This ensures
that the electrical safety functions for your pneumatic
system’s controllers are enhanced with the appropriate
safety concepts.

Basic safety requirements in the manufacturing industry
Time schedule for EC machinery directive and DIN EN ISO 13849-1
The development of the single
European market has led to
standardised guidelines for
mechanical engineering for the
manufacturing industry.
Machine safety requires safe
control systems. Important
harmonised standards include
EN 954-1, which is going to be
superseded by EN ISO 13849-1.
DIN EN 954-1 will be in force
until the end of 2009.

Directives are laws. The EC
machinery directive applies to
mechanical engineering run on.
The primary aim of the EC
machinery directive is to specify
basic health and safety requirements in relation to the design
run on and construction of
machines. The CE mark identifies
a machine as compliant with the
EC machinery directive.

Withdrawn from DIN
Operators
One option for complying with
the EC machinery directive is to
apply harmonised standards.
Harmonised standards are listed
in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.
Applying these results in what is
known as the “presumption of
conformity”, which reinforces
the legal security of operators
and manufacturers.

A new machinery directive will
apply to the trade in and construction of machines in
the EU from the end of 2009.
EU member states urgently have
to incorporate this directive into
their national legislation because, at European level, directives are laws.
Manufacturers have to comply
with the laws of their country.
Applying standards is an option.
Standards reflect the best
available technology.

Directives and standards describe the process of risk assessment. Every manufacturer is
obliged to carry out a risk
assessment. This is followed
by a risk evaluation and, if

Focusing on risk reduction
This guide is primarily concerned
with the area of risk reduction in
the form of technical safety
measures. We assume that all
possible design measures for
reducing risk have already been
explored.
When estimating the risk and
identifying the required performance level, the degree of risk
reduction is established.
Whether or not the required
risk reduction level has been
achieved for technical safety
measures depends on the following parameters:
Start
1) Control architecture
2) Mean Time To Failure (MTTFd)
3) Diagnostic coverage (DC)
4) Common Cause Failure (CCF)
In all cases, the performance
level (PL) must be equivalent to
at least the required PLr.

Evaluating technical safety measures – determination of the performance level
Application 13849-1, step 1: Determining the required performance level
The figure shows the simplified
procedure for determining the
performance level (PL) of a safety function. The PL is a function
of categories B to 4, diagnostic
coverage “none to high”, various
MTTFd areas and the common
cause failure.
The graph for determining the
required performance level is
based on identifying the risk and
the resulting necessity for reducing this to an acceptable level.
Low risk results in PL = a
(minimal measures for risk
reduction).
High risk results in PL = e
(comprehensive measures for
risk reduction).

principle of risk is always
evaluated in the same way: the
severity of the possible damage
and the probability that the

MTTFd value is determined for
both channels. This value is
given in years and is a qualitative statement of the safety function. In line with the applicable
standard, the technical safety
measure is assessed and given
one of three classifications: low,

faults.
The prerequisites for excluding a
fault are described in detail in
DIN EN ISO 13849-2.
Faults must be examined and
evaluated in the context of each
application to establish whether
the fault has a dangerous effect
on the safety function.
Depending on the construction
principle and the design of components, different results may
arise for different applications;
in other words, a specific product
may be suitable for one application but not for another.

determined by the user or, ideally, specified by the manufacturer
of the component in the technical data for the certified components.

During the risk assessment, the
hazardous situation also has to
be determined and, subsequently, the risks have to be
evaluated. This applies to a
machine’s entire service life.
The following four operating
modes in particular are used for
operating a machine:
Stopping, holding and
blocking a movement
Specific safety functions can be
derived from these operation
modes:
• Pressurising of machines
• Maintaining pressure
• Reducing pressure and force
• Exhausting of machines
• Two-hand operation
• Tamper-proof
• Reducing speed
• Free of forces
• Stopping, holding and blocking
a movement
• Reversing a movement
You can find these safety functions both in the suggested circuits and in the products and
solutions. The information specified always refers to very specific safety functions.
This will enable you to quickly
decide whether the information
is relevant to your current task,
both in the sample circuits and
in the products.

Description
The control block for two-hand
start ZSB 1/8 is a pneumatic
AND gate. If inputs 11 and 12
are pressurised within a
max. of 0.5 s of each other, the
assembly switches through and
there is an output signal at
port 2.

Description
If pressure switch DR1 displays
the minimum operating pressure
and the two pushbuttons WV5
and WV6 are actuated, both
two-hand control blocks (WV3
and WV4) switch through. This
reverses the WV1 and WV2
power valves and the piston rod
extends.

they play a decisive role in the
function and, by extension,

If one of these lines is kinked or
clogged, the cylinder does not
receive the pressure it requires
to travel to its retracted position.
This should be noted when
laying the working lines, for
example, in energy chains.
If one of the power valves fails,
there is an “acoustic” fault
alarm caused by venting at on
one of the silencers.

Sample circuit diagram – exhausting via non-return valves
Description
Directional control valves WV1
and WV2 are responsible for the
normal operating function. If
there is no current, they are in
their initial position and exhaust
the installation. To make it possible to retract and extend the
cylinder, WV3 has to exert pressure on both non-return valves
(SP1 and SP2).
In this case, the two non-return
valves do not affect normal
operation.
If both non-return valves (SP1
and SP2) are exhausted, cylinder
KS1 can also be exhausted via
the non-return valves.

Sample circuit diagram – pneumatic holding using stop valves
Description
The cylinder can be held
pneumatically via two different
channels.
Channel 1 is created by stop
valve WV1. When not actuated
(mid-position), the valve is
closed; in other words, if the
electrical power is switched off,
WV1 switches to its spring
centred mid-position and the
cylinder is held pneumatically.
The second channel is created
by the two stop valves (WV3 and
WV4) and actuating valve WV2.
When not actuated, WV2 is
exhausted and switches the
two stop valves to the closed
position. The two stop valves
create the second channel for
pneumatic holding.
These make up the second
channel for exhausting the drive.
It is important to note that the
two non-return valves also need
a differential pressure in order to
exhaust. This differential is
application specific.
Note
All the information that relates
to standards is identified with
“max. possible”. Whether the
values are reached does not
depend only on the pneumatics.

Sample circuit diagram – mechanical and pneumatic holding
Description
The safety function “stopping a
movement” is implemented both
pneumatically and mechanically
(diversified) in this circuit.
Assuming that both the mechanical brake and the pneumatic
holding in the application are
sufficient to fulfil the “stopping a
movement” safety function, this
is a two-channel system.
Sample circuit diagram – servopneumatics
Description
For implementation of the
following safety measures:
• Protection of unexpected
start-up, as per EN 1037
(two-channel design)
-> possible: performance level
“d”, as per EN ISO 13849-1
• Single-channel “exhausting”
safety measure, as per
EN ISO 13849-1
-> possible: performance level
“d”, as per EN ISO 13849-1*
• Stop category “0” as per

The second channel is controlled
via the mechanical brake by
WV2. When exhausted, the
brake is activated and it holds
the piston rod. It is important to
note that a brake is used here,
and not a retaining device.
Channel 1 is implemented via
WV1. In the mid-position (dead),
the valve is closed and the
cylinder stops.

Servopneumatics – a drive technology with its own areas of
application. Servopneumatics
differs from standard pneumatics in that it supports travel to
any desired position with maximum dynamic response and the
ability to cope with high forces
safely. It permits innovative and
cost-effective drive solutions.
Free positioning using servopneumatics is particularly useful
in scenarios that demand com-
pact and cost-effective solutions
where the loads to be moved
are typically in excess of 10 kg
and accuracy of a few tenths of
a millimetre is sufficient.
Rule of thumb: the overall costeffectiveness of a servopneumatic solution is higher the
heavier the load to be moved
(however there is a limit after
which the dynamic response will
be affected).

Safety silencer, type UOS-1
Valve block for “reliable exhausting” of sub-systems
Description
• The UOS silencer combines
the advantages of a standard
silencer and those of an open
silencer: large flow with low
noise level and a compact
design
• For “reliable exhausting” as
per DIN EN ISO 13849-1
• Suitable for use with the
MS6-SV valve
• Design: open
• Port: 1”
• PWIS free
Technical data
Function
Description
• Pre-installed, operationally
integrated tested solution
• Number of channels: 2
• Diagnostic coverage
DC = medium (integrated fault
diagnostics)
• PLmax = e
• Air quality: 40 μm unlubricated
• Protected against unintentional start-up (two-channel).
If the two solenoid coils are
activated simultaneously, the
compressed air is switched on
Contamination in the system
can block standard cylinders.
The consequence: increased
back pressure, which leads to
increased exhaust times in the
system. This is prevented with
this silencer, due to its special
design.
Dangerous cylinder movements
can lead to injury to people and
machines.

CPX terminal – power supply concept
72
Description
The use of decentralised devices
on the fieldbus – particularly
those with a high protection
class for direct machine assembly – requires a flexible power
supply concept.
Together with all the supply
lines, interlinking blocks make
up the backbone of the CPX terminal. They provide the power
supply for the modules mounted
on them, as well as their bus
connection.
A valve terminal with CPX can
generally be supplied via a
socket for all voltages.
Here, we distinguish between
supplying the
• Electronics plus sensors
• Valves plus actuators. The
following connecting threads
are possible
- M18
- 7/8”
Many applications require the
CPX terminal to be separated
into voltage zones.
This is particularly true for
switching off the solenoid coils
and the ports separately. The
interlinking blocks can either be
designed as a centralised power
supply for the entire CPX terminal (which saves on installation work), or they can be
designed as galvanically
separated, all-pin disconnectable potential groups/voltage
segments.
73
Knowledge provides greater safety
Safety is always more than just
the hardware and the corresponding circuit diagrams. Safety
starts at the concept stage, for
example by identifying necessary
performance levels.
For comprehensive qualification
on the subject of safety, Festo
Didactic provides numerous
seminars on various topics.
More than 40 years of experience in training and consulting
and 30,000 participants at more
than 2,900 events each year
speak for themselves: our
instructors provide you with their
own experience and give you
the best possible preparation for
your own specific safety tasks.
When it comes to self-structured
and flexible modular learning,
our web-based training course
“Safety engineering” is ideal.

“Safety in pneumatics and electro-pneumatics for design
engineers (SAFETY2)”
The European machinery directive is law and requires that
design engineers incorporate
safety functions into machinery
and system designs. This is
certified with the CE mark. The
previous standard for risk
assessment DIN EN 954-1 has
already been withdrawn and
replaced by the new standard EN
ISO 13 849-1. Design engineers
will have to conduct their risk
assessments in accordance with
the new standards. Specific
pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits for the “Safety
measures for safety-related
pneumatic components” will be
presented. These sample circuits
will be examined with respect to
their failure behaviour.
This course aims to enable
design engineers to design
safety-related circuits up to controller category 4, to understand
the interaction between pneumatic and electrical components
and to assess the behaviour of
pneumatic cylinders. The course
will teach design engineers what
needs to be taken into account
when developing these circuits.
The seminar focuses on circuit
technology.

Legal notice
The examples specified here are intended purely as suggestions that must be checked for suitability in
the context of each separate application, paying attention to the applicable standards. This might involve
applying standards DIN EN ISO 13849-1 and 2, for example.
Depending on the application, the examples specified may only partially satisfy the actual requirements
(for all safety functions), and must therefore be adjusted using suitable measures and modifications.
To do this, it is necessary to examine the entire system (entire control loop system), which might consist
of multiple technologies (e.g. pneumatics, hydraulics, electrical engineering, mechanics ...) and therefore
multiple applicable standards.
The sample circuits given here are not suitable as a complete validation report in the legal sense due to
the lack of any reference to an actual system (real application).
