Wireless Remote Control System
Overview
The Harmony eXLhoist range of wireless remote control systems is an operator control station
used in hoisting and material handling applications.
The Wireless Remote Control System is based on 2 types of devices:
Remote Device (or transmitter), which is the operator command device to interface with the
machine.
Base Station (or receiver), which is hardwired to the machine. It receives control commands
from the Remote Device and transmits information to the operator.
The Wireless Remote Control System is a combination of these devices which communicate by
radio transmission.
Radio Communication
Each Base Station have a unique ID managed by Schneider Electric. It permits up to 50 single
systems working at same time without perturbation in a 100 x 100 meter area.

Safety
Basics
Functional Safety
Automation and safety engineering are 2 areas that were separate in the past but have recently
become more and more integrated.
The engineering and installation of complex automation solutions are greatly simplified by
integrated safety functions.
Usually, the safety engineering requirements depend on the application.
The level of requirement results from the risk and the hazard potential arising from the specific
application.
EIO0000001505 12/2014 57
Safety
Safety standards:
PF - Probability of Failure
The standard IEC 61508 defines SIL using requirements grouped into 2 broad categories:
hardware safety integrity and systematic safety integrity. A device or system must meet the
requirements for both categories to achieve a given SIL.
The SIL requirements for hardware safety integrity are based on a probabilistic analysis of the
device. To achieve a given SIL, the device must meet targets for the maximum probability of
dangerous failure and a minimum Safe Failure Fraction. The concept of dangerous failure must
be rigorously defined for the system in question, normally in the form of requirement constraints
whose integrity is verified throughout system development. The actual targets required vary
depending on the likelihood of a demand, the complexity of the devices, and types of redundancy
used.
58 EIO0000001505 12/2014
Safety
The Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) of low demand operation for different SILs are defined
in IEC 61508 are as follows:
SIL Average Frequency of a Dangerous Failure on Demand of the safety function (h-1)
PFH
SIL4 10-9 to < 10-8
SIL3 10-8 to < 10-7
SIL2 10-7 to < 10-6
SIL1 10-6 to < 10-5
A function is considered as "on demand" if the demand rate is lower than one activation per year.
Otherwise, the function is considered as "High demand or continuous operation".
The hazards of a control system must be identified then analyzed in a risk analysis. These risks
are gradually mitigated until their overall contribution to the hazard is deemed to be acceptable.
The tolerable level of these risks is specified as a safety requirement in the form of a target
probability of a dangerous failure over a given period, stated as a discrete SIL level.
PL - Performance Level
The standard IEC 13849-1 defines 5 Performance Levels (PL) for safety functions.
"a" is the lowest level and "e" is the highest level.
5 levels (a, b, c, d, and e) correspond to different values of average probability of dangerous failure
per hour.

Wireless Remote Control System Safety Functions Are Part of an Overall System
Overview
The qualitative and quantitative safety objectives determined by the final application require some
adjustments to ensure safe use of the safety functions. The integrator of the Wireless Remote
Control System is responsible for these additional changes (for example, managing the
mechanical brake on the motor).

Safety
Overview
The SISTEMA software allows machine developers and testers of safety-related machine controls
to evaluate the safety standard or level of their machine in the context of ISO 13849-1. The tool
allows you to model the structure of safety-related control components based on the designated
architectures, allowing automated calculation of the reliability standards with various levels of
detail, including that of the Performance Level (PL).
The eXLhoist libraries are available from www.schneider-electric.com.

EN 60947-5-1:2004 Annex L - Special prescription for elements with contact mechanically
linked.
In order to be compliant with the Common Cause of Failure (CCF), wiring of redundant contactors
or drives must be by different path.
The standard E-STOP function of eXLhoist is limited to a stop category 0 according to IEC 60204-
32. If some applications require an E-STOP function with a stop category 1, then a safety relay type
Preventa XPS ATE or XPS AV or similar must be used.
In order to justify of the safety category 4 according to ISO13849-1, an automatic diagnostic is
realized on IN0 terminal thanks to the S2_S3 terminal (Pulsed 12 V). An external supply of IN0
input cannot be used.
E-STOP function is a passive stop (function activated when an invalid frame is detected).

Safety
Overview
68 EIO0000001505 12/2014
Safety
Overview
Safe states of the Base Station are:
SAFE-STOP failure: if a failure is detected by the Base Station, the Base Station opens safety
relays with a stop category 0 and stops the radio communication with the Remote Device.
SAFE-STOP radio: if the Base Station looses the communication with the Remote Device, the
Base Station opens the safety relays in stop category 0 or stop category 1 according to the
commissioning.
The Safe state position of the Remote Device is no communication with the base station: if a failure
is detected in the Remote Device, the Remote Device stops the radio communication. So the Base
Station goes to SAFE-STOP radio mode and opens the safety relays in stop category 0 or stop
category 1 according to the commissioning.
EIO0000001505 12/2014 69
Safety
Overview
The maximum Process Safety Time (PST) of STOP function is 550 ms according to IEC 60204-32
Ed.2 9.2.7.3. This PST of 550 ms is taken into account for all safety functions. The PST allocation
is:
So 250 ms are allocated for contactors / drives of the hoisting system. The rest (300 ms) is
allocated for Wireless Remote Control System. In consequences, the maximum response time of
the Wireless Remote Control System is 300 ms for all safety functions in any configurations.

Tested Architectures
Overview
Schneider Electric provides the basis of tested architecture. You can adapt these architectures to
your individual requirements. NOTE: the architectures specified have been tested under actual
service conditions. Your specific application requirements may be different from those assumed
for these projects. In that case, you have to adapt the architecture to your particular needs. To do
so, you need to consult the specific product documentation that you may find necessary to modify
or adapt. Pay particular attention and conform to any safety information, different electrical
requirements, and normative standards that would apply to your modifications and/or adaptations.
Some or all of the architectures may contain recommendations of products that are not available
in your country or locality, or may imply or recommend wiring, products, procedures, or controller
logic and/or functions that are in conflict with your local, regional, or national electrical or safety
codes and/or normative standards.
WARNING
REGULATORY INCOMPATIBILITY
Be sure that all equipment applied and systems designed comply with and conform to all
applicable local, regional, and national regulations and standards.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
The use and application of the architectures require expertise in the design of control systems.
Only you, the designer or integrator, can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during
installation and setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine or process, and can therefore
determine the associated equipment, the functions, the related safety provisions and interlocks
which can be effectively and properly used. When selecting control equipment, and any other
related equipment or software for a particular application, you must also consider any applicable
local, regional, or national standards and/or regulations.
Description
Schneider Electric has tested some possible architectures:
Safety Case 1
Safety Case 2
Safety Case 3
Safety Case 4
Description
A possible use of auxiliary buttons is a Vacuum/Magnetic function.
Vacuum/Magnetic Description
Triggering Vacuum/Magnetic ON button is assigned to 1 relay.
When the operator presses the Vacuum/Magnetic ON button, the magnetic is activated
through the associated relay.
Releasing To release the load, simultaneously press Vacuum/Magnetic OFF 1 and Vacuum/Magnetic
OFF 2 buttons.
Vacuum/Magnetic OFF 1 button should be assigned to 1 NO+NC relay.
Vacuum/Magnetic OFF 2 button should be assigned to 1 different NO+NC relay.
Configuration
Example of system configuration
As already done in the factory setting, it is recommanded to use buttons at different sides of
Remote Device for load release function (operator uses both hands).
Wiring Example
NOTE:
The Magnetic OFF flash is ON only in the 2 following cases:
When the operator presses at least one of the Magnetic OFF buttons.
If one the Magnetic OFF relay is welded. In this case, a maintenance action shall be done
(Otherwise it is enough to press the other Magnetic OFF button for releasing the load).
The power supply choice is the OEM responsibility. It depends on the risk analysis.
Description
It is possible to manage room lighting applications. An auxiliary button commands an impulse relay
on the room lighting circuit.
Configuration
There is no specific configuration needed. You have to associate an auxiliary button to a relay.
Wiring Example
NOTE: Schneider Electric offers modular impulse relays which are bistable switches designed to
control load power mainly for lighting applications.

A
AWG
(American wire gauge) The standard that specifies wire section sizes in North America
C
CCF
(Common Cause of Failure)
CSA
(Canadian standards association) The Canadian standard for industrial electronic equipment in
hazardous environments.
D
DTM
(Device Type Manager) Classified into 2 categories:
Device DTMs connect to the field device configuration components.
CommDTMs connect to the software communication components.
The DTM provides a unified structure for accessing device parameters and configuring, operating,
and diagnosing the devices. DTMs can range from a simple graphical user interface for setting
device parameters to a highly sophisticated application capable of performing complex real-time
calculations for diagnosis and maintenance purposes.
E
E-STOP
Emergency stop (according to EN ISO13850:2008) function that is intended to:
avert arising, or reduce existing, hazards to persons, damage to machinery or to work in
progress,
be initiated by a single human action.
EMC
ElectroMagnetic Compatibility
EN
EN identifies 1 of many European standards maintained by CEN (European Committee for
Standardization), CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), or ETSI
(European Telecommunications Standards Institute).
F
FE
(Functional Earth) A common grounding connection to enhance or otherwise allow normal
operation of electrically sensitive equipment (also referred to as functional ground in North
America).
In contrast to a protective Earth (protective ground), a functional earth connection serves a purpose
other than shock protection, and may normally carry current. Examples of devices that use
functional earth connections include surge suppressors and electromagnetic interference filters,
certain antennas, and measurement instruments.

The operating system (OS) of a device
H
hex
(hexadecimal)
HFT
(Hardware Fault Tolerance)
I
IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission) A non-profit and non-governmental international
standards organization that prepares and publishes international standards for electrical,
electronic, and related technologies.
IP
(Ingress Protection) The protection classification according to IEC 60529.
L
LED
(Light Emitting Diode) An indicator that illuminates under a low-level electrical charge.
M
MAC address
(Media Access Control address) A unique 48-bit number associated with a specific piece of
hardware. The MAC address is programmed into each network card or device when it is
manufactured.
MTTF
(Mean TIme To Failure)
N
NC
(Normally Closed) A contact pair that closes when the actuator is de-energized (no power is
applied) and opens when the actuator is energized (power is applied).
NEMA
(National Electrical Manufacturers Association) The standard for the performance of various
classes of electrical enclosures. The NEMA standards cover corrosion resistance, ability to help
protect from rain, submersion, and so on. For IEC member countries, the IEC 60529 standard
classifies the ingress protection rating for enclosures.
NO
(Normally Open) A contact pair that opens when the actuator is de-energized (no power is applied)
and closes when the actuator is energized (power is applied).
P
PC
(Personal Computer)
PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage)
PFD
(Probability of Failure on Demand)
PL
(Performance Level)
PST
(Process Safety Time)
