Systeme der industriellen Prozessleittechnik - Geräte mit analogen Eingängen und Zwei- oder Mehrpunkt-Ausgängen - Teil 2: Leitfaden für Funktionskontrolle und Serienprüfung (IEC 61003-2:2016); Deutsche Fassung EN 61003-2:2016
Overview
This part of the IEC 61003 standard series provides a guideline for inspection and routine testing of electrical and pneumatic instruments with two- or multi-state output, for instance, for acceptance tests or tests after repair. For a full evaluation, IEC 61003-1 shall be used. Whenever possible any test carried out shall be in accordance with the IEC 61298 standards series. The standard is applicable to electrical and pneumatic industrial-process instruments, using measured values that are continuous signals. The set point value may be either a mechanical (position, force, etcetera) or a standard signal. These instruments may be used as controllers or as switches for alarm or similar purposes. Quantitative specifications for acceptable performance of the instrument should be established by agreement between manufacturer and user, and the report on the tests shall make clear which tests have been carried out. The requirements of this standard shall be effective when agreed upon between the manufacturer and the user. The responsible committee is DKE/K 961 "Elektrische Messwertaufnehmer und Messgrößenumformer" ("Electrical measurement sensors and transducers") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
