1. CHARACTERISTICS
General Description:
The single channel Loop Powered Digital Output Isolator, D5048S, is suitable for driving solenoid valves, visual or audible
alarms to alert a plant operator, or other process control devices in Hazardous Area from a driving signal in Safe Area. It
can also be used as a controllable supply to power measuring or process control equipment. Its use is allowed in
applications requiring up to SIL 3 level (according to IEC 61508:2010 Ed. 2) in safety related systems for high risk
industries. The Safety PLC or DCS driving signal powers the field device through the D5048S, which provides isolation
and is capable of monitoring the conditions of the line.
Short and open circuit diagnostic monitoring, dip-switch selectable and active when input power is present, provides LED
indication and NC transistor output signaling. When fault is detected output is de-energized until normal condition is
restored. Line short and open output circuit fault detection is also reflected on the PLC / DCS input circuit providing less
than 10 mA consumption. In alternative, input impedance can be set to a value always lower than 2 kΩ. An override input,
dip-switch selectable, is provided to permit a safety system to override the control signal. When enabled, a low input
voltage always de-energizes the field device regardless of the input signal.
Three basic output circuits are selectable, with different safety parameters, to interface the majority of devices on the
market. The selection among the three output characteristics is obtained by connecting the field device to a different
terminal block.
Mounting on standard DIN-Rail, with or without Power Bus to provide fault signal, or on customized Termination Boards,
in Safe Area / Non Hazardous Location or in Zone 2 / Class I, Division 2 or Class I, Zone 2.
Functional Safety Management certification:
G.M. International is certified by TUV to conform to IEC61508:2010 part 1 clauses 5-6 for safety related systems up to
and included SIL3.

6. VERIFICATION OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE CIRCUITS

In the system safety analysis, always check that field device maximum allowable voltage, current and power are not
exceeded by the safety parameters of the associated apparatus connected to it. Check also that added connecting cable
and field device capacitance and inductance do not exceed the limits given in the associated apparatus parameters for
the effective gas group (Co, Lo, Lo/Ro).
Associated apparatus Field device
Uo or Voc ≤ Ui or Vmax
Io or Isc ≤ Ii or Imax
Po or Pout ≤ Pi or Pmax
Co or Ca ≥ Ci + Ccable
Lo or La ≥ Li + Lcable
Lo/Ro ≥ Li/Ri and Lcable/Rcable
When used with separate powered intrinsically safe devices, check also that maximum allowable voltage, current and
power of the associated apparatus are not exceeded by the safety parameters of the field device.
Associated apparatus Field device
Ui or Vmax ≥ Uo or Voc
Ii or Imax ≥ Io or Isc
Pi or Pmax ≥ Po or Pout
Ci + Ccable ≤ Co or Ca
Li + Lcable ≤ Lo or La
For installations in which both the Ci and Li of the Intrinsically Safe apparatus exceed 1% of the Co or Ca and Lo or La
parameters of the Associated Apparatus (excluding the cable), then 50% of Co or Ca and Lo or La parameters are
applicable and shall not be exceeded (50% of the Co or Ca and Lo or La become the limits which must include the cable
such that Ci device + C cable ≤ 50 % of Co or Ca and Li device + L cable ≤ 50 % of Lo or La). The reduced capacitance
of the external circuit (including cable) shall not be greater than 1 μF for Groups I, IIA (or D), IIB (or C) and 600 nF for
Group IIC (or A, B). If the cable parameters are unknown, the following value may be used: Capacitance 200 pF per
meter (60 pF per foot), Inductance 1 µH per meter (0.20 µH per foot).

ISM0119-17 English Page 6/10 G.M. International - 20852 Villasanta (MB) - ITALY
Explosion Hazard: to prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before
servicing or unless area is known to be nonhazardous.
Failure to properly installation or use of the equipment may risk to damage the unit or severe personal injury.
The unit cannot be repaired by the end user and must be returned to the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
Any unauthorized modification must be avoided.

9. OPERATION
The single channel Loop Powered Digital Output Isolator, D5048S, is suitable for driving solenoid valves, visual or audible
alarms to alert a plant operator, or other process control devices in Hazardous Area from a driving signal in Safe Area. It
can also be used as a controllable supply to power measuring or process control equipment. Its use is allowed in
applications requiring up to SIL 3 level (according to IEC 61508) in safety related systems for high risk industries. The
Safety PLC or DCS driving signal powers the field device through the D5048S, which provides isolation and is capable of
monitoring the conditions of the line. Short and open circuit diagnostic monitoring, dip-switch selectable and active when
input power is present, provides LED indication and NC transistor output signaling. When fault is detected output is de-
energized until normal condition is restored. Line short and open output circuit fault detection is also reflected on the PLC
/ DCS input circuit providing less than 10 mA consumption. An override input, dip-switch selectable, is provided to permit
a safety system to override the control signal. When enabled, a low input voltage always de-energizes the field device
regardless of the input signal. Three basic output circuits are selectable, with different safety parameters, to interface the
majority of devices on the market. The selection among the three output characteristics is obtained by connecting the field
device to a different terminal block. Presence of output, as well as integrity or fault condition of device and connecting line
are displayed by signaling LEDs (yellow for status, red for fault).

10. INSTALLATION
D5048 series is a Digital Output Driver housed in a plastic enclosure suitable for installation on EN/IEC60715 TH 35 DIN-
Rail , with or without Power Bus or on customized Termination Board. D5048 series can be mounted with any orientation
over the entire ambient temperature range.
Electrical connection are accommodated by polarized plug-in removable screw terminal blocks which can be plugged
in/out into a powered unit without suffering or causing any damage (for Zone 2 installations check the area to be
nonhazardous before servicing). Connect only one individual conductor per each clamping point, use conductors up to
2.5 mm² (13 AWG) and a torque value of 0.5-0.6 Nm. The wiring cables have to be proportionate in base to the current
and the length of the cable.
In case of installation in zone 2, the connecting cables of non-intrinsically safe circuits must be safely routed in a cable
duct or similar. The distance between the pluggable connection terminal and the cable duct should not exceed 500 mm
cable length.
On the section “Function Diagram” and enclosure side a block diagram identifies all connections. Identify the function and
location of each connection terminal using the wiring diagram on the corresponding section, as an example:
 Connect positive input at terminal “1” and negative input at “2”.
 Connect positive transistor fault output at terminal “3” and negative at “4”.
 Connect positive input override at terminal “5” and negative input at “6”.
Connect positive output A for solenoid valve at terminal “7” and negative at “10” or output B at terminal “8” and
negative at “10” or output C at terminal “9” and negative at “10”.
Intrinsically Safe conductors must be identified and segregated from non I.S. and wired in accordance to the relevant
national/international installation standards (e.g. EN/IEC60079-14
Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other than
mines)), make sure that conductors are well isolated from each other
and do not produce any unintentional connection.
Connect SPST fault output transistors checking the load rating to be within the maximum rating (100 mA at 35 Vdc (≤ 1.5
V voltage drop)).
The enclosure provides, according to EN60529, an IP20 minimum degree of protection (or similar to NEMA Standard 250
type 1). The equipment shall only be used in an area of at least pollution degree 2, as defined in IEC 60664-1. When
installed in EU Zone 2, the unit shall be installed in an enclosure that provides a minimum ingress protection of IP54 in
accordance with IEC 60079-0. When installed in a Class I, Zone 2 Hazardous Location, the unit shall be mounted in a
supplemental AEx or Ex enclosure that provides a degree of protection not less than IP54 in accordance with
UL/CSA 60079-0. When installed in a Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Location, the unit shall be mounted in a supplemental
enclosure that provides a degree of protection not less than IP54. The enclosure must have a door or cover accessible

13. FUNCTIONAL SAFETY MANUAL AND APPLICATION
13.1 Application of D5048S for NE load

Description:
The D5048S is a single channel digital output drivers, loop powered for NE (Normally Energized) loads. The Safety PLC
or DCS driving/control signals power the field devices through the single channel digital output driver D5048S (1 intrinsic
safety channel, Loop Powered), which provides the electrical isolation between Input and Output. The presence of the
input loop signal is also indicated by a yellow LED on the front panel.
In order to interface the majority of field devices available on the market, two basic output circuits with different safety
parameters (outputs A, B and C) are provided for channel. The selection among the three output characteristics is
obtained by connecting the field devices to a different couple of terminal blocks.
The field line and load fault detection is enabled, the override input is disabled, setting the internal DIP-switches in the
following modes:

Safety Function and Failure behavior:

D5048S is considered to be operating in Low Demand mode, as a Type A module, having Hardware Fault Tolerance
(HFT) = 0.
The failure behaviour of D5048S for NE loads is described by the following definitions:
 Fail-Safe State: it is defined as the output being de-energized;
 Fail Safe: failure mode that causes the module / (sub)system to go to the defined fail-safe state without a demand
from the process;
 Fail Dangerous: failure mode that does not respond to a demand from the process (i.e. being unable to go to the
defined fail-safe state), so that the output remains energized;
 Fail “No Effect”: failure mode of a component that plays a part in implementing the safety function but that is
neither a safe failure nor a dangerous failure. When calculating the SFF, this failure mode is not taken into
account;

Fail “Not part”: failure mode of a component that is not part of the safety function but part of the circuit diagram and
is listed for completeness. When calculating the SFF, this failure mode is not taken into account.
Since the loop powered module is directly supplied by the digital output of a Safety PLC, if the safety PLC imposes a
shutdown state of this module, there is no additional power supply which can keep the D5048S output energized in case
of an internal fault. Therefore, all internal faults have either “no effect” on the safety function or lead to the safe state,
according to the Safety Function definitions.
Failure rate data: taken from Siemens Standard SN29500.
Failure rate table:
Failure category Failure rates (FIT)
λdd = Total Dangerous Detected failures 0.00
λdu = Total Dangerous Undetected failures 0.00
λsd = Total Safe Detected failures 0.00
λsu = Total Safe Undetected failures 142.45
λtot safe = Total Failure Rate (Safety Function) = λdd + λdu + λsd + λsu 142.45
MTBF (safety function, single channel) = (1 / λtot safe) + MTTR (8 hours) 801 years
λno effect = “No effect” failures 219.65
λnot part = “Not Part” failures 34.70
λtot device = Total Failure Rate (Device) = λtot safe + λno effect + λnot part 396.80
MTBF (device, single channel) = (1 / λtot device) + MTTR (8 hours) 287 years
PFDavg (TI = 1 year) = ½ λdu * 8760 h 0.00E+00

Failure rates table according to IEC 61508:2010 Ed.2:

λsd λsu λdd λdu SFF
0.00 FIT 142.45 FIT 0.00 FIT 0.00 FIT 100%
Therefore, the D5048S module have SIL 3 level for lifetime of 20 years.
Systematic capability is SIL 3.
Since no dangerous undetected failures have been noted during the FMEDA analysis, there is no need to perform a proof
test to reveal dangerous faults which cannot be otherwise detected.
