INFORMATIONPlease observe the data specified in this publication. This document does not replacethe detailed operating instructions "DR..71 – 315, DRN80 – 315 AC Motors".

Observe the following other applicable documentation:

• "DR..71 – 315, DRN80 – 315 AC Motors" operating instructions

• "DR.. Series AC Motors" catalog

• "DRN.. Series AC Motors" catalog

• Addendum to the "Safety-Rated Brakes – DR..71 – 315, DRN80 315 AC Motors –Functional Safety" operating instructions

• Manual "Safe Braking System"

1.1 Notes

Definition of the value "MTTFd":MTTFd is a statistical value. It is defined in the standard EN ISO 13849-1 as "expectedvalue of the mean time to dangerous failure".Statistical value means that it is a value that has been determined empirically. The val-ue does not imply a "guaranteed service life" or a "failure-free time".For the BE.. brake, the value MTTFd refers to its capability of performing the mechani-cal switching operation, that is to move the pressure plate. Wear of the brake lining,which is caused by the conversion of kinetic energy during the braking process, doesnot affect this value.The values differ for every application because the value MTTFd depends on the meannumber of actuations per year.

INFORMATIONNote the technical data of the brake in the "DR..71 – 315, DRN80 – 315 AC Motors"operating instructions and the addendum to the operating instructions "Safety-RatedBrakes – DR..71 – 315, DRN80 – 315 AC Motors – Functional Safety", in particularthe maximum permitted work done by the brake.

INFORMATIONUsage in safety-related applications:The system/machine manufacturer is responsible for compliance of the system/machine with applicable safety regulations.

1.2 Safety characteristics

Definition of the safety architecture (category):The safety architecture (category) classifies safety-related components regarding theirresistance to errors and their response in the event of an error based on the reliabilityand/or the structural arrangement of the parts. A higher resistance to errors means ahigher potential to reduce risk.

1.2.1 Brake BE..(FS)

Characteristic Characteristic to EN ISO 13849-1

Classification Category 1

System structure 1-channel, without diagnostics

Common Cause Failure (CCF) Not relevant

Probability of dangerous failureper hour (PFHd value)

Calculation by user via B10d value

Service life (depending on thestarting frequency)

Maximum 20 years or a maximum operatingtime T10d, after which the component must be re-placed.

Safe condition Supply voltage to BE..(FS) brake disconnected.Brake is applied.

Safety function1) • Safe brake hold (SBH)• Safe brake actuation (SBA)

1) Take into account the possible system architectures, see "Safe Braking System" manual.

1.3 Characteristic safety values1.3.1 Brake BE..(FS)

Definition of the characteristic safety value B10d:The value B10d specifies the number of switching cycles at which 10% of componentshave failed dangerously (definition according to standard EN ISO 13849-1). Faileddangerously means in this context that the double brake does not realize at least oneof the safety functions when required. This means the brake does not deliver the nec-essary braking torque.

Size B10d

Switching cycles

BE05 20 000 000

BE1 16 000 000

BE2 12 000 000

BE5 10 000 000

BE11 8 000 000

BE20 5 000 000

BE30 3 000 000

BE32 3 000 000

1.4 Sample calculationsBelow some examples of how to use the value B10d to calculate the mean time to dan-gerous failure (MTTFd).In the examples, the values MTTFd are calculated for size BE11 based on 2 differentswitching frequencies. The equations used are described in standard EN ISO13849-1.The following sample calculations are based on two selected applications. Adjust thecalculation for other applications. Also, other parameters might influence the calcula-tion. If you have any questions on calculating the values, please contactSEW‑EURODRIVE.
