System Safety Considerations
ADD-32 PLUS DOK Fault Contact
The ADD-32 PLUS is a sophisticated microprocessor device
incorporating many self-diagnostic tests. The function of its DOK
(Drive OK) fault contact is to detect a variety of faults in the ADD-
32 PLUS, but it cannot assure fault-free operation.
BE AWARE THAT NOT ALL ADD-32 PLUS FAULTS CAN BE
SELF DIAGNOSED AND/OR ALARMED. THEREFORE, THE
ADD-32 PLUS CANNOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE FAIL
SAFE NOR CAN ITS "DOK" CONTACT BE RELIED ON TO
RESPOND TO ALL POSSIBLE ADD-32 PLUS FAULT
CONDITIONS.
The “DOK” contact should be incorporated into system interlock
logic chains to ensure safe system response to a drive fault “DOK”
output contact opening. It is the responsibility of the system
designer to understand the system interlock logic chains and to
apply the “DOK” contact appropriately.
IN SAFETY SENSITIVE APPLICATIONS, IT IS STRONGLY
SUGGESTED THAT THE SYSTEM DESIGNER UTILIZE A
SEPARATE MONITORING DEVICE TO CHECK THE ADD-32
PLUS INPUTS AND OUTPUTS, AND OTHER OPERATING
CHARACTERISTICS, TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF
PERSONNEL AND PROPERTY.
