2.0 Evaluation of LFFS and LBFS according to EN50155
This document is made for proving the validation of the railway approval according to EN50155. All test
mentioned in the document are available on request from Baumer A/S. Most test reports are in the document
shown with two pages of the complete report.
3.0 Product under test
The evaluation is based on the Level Switches LBFS and LFFS series. For the LBFS series was test performed
on versions with plastic and metal M12 electrical connection where it is critical. On LFFS was test performed on
normal version and sliding connection where it is critical. Each group was tested as outlined below to
demonstrate compliance to EN 50155. Both product series was successfully tested without deterioration of
performance of the products as demonstrated in the test results.
4.0 Environmental service condition of operation
4.1.1 Altitude
The Level switches LFFS and LBFS are suitable for applications up to 1200m of altitude. There is no customer
for requirements exceeding 1200m of altitude.
4.1.2 Ambient temperature
Baumer internal extreme temperature test ranges from - 40°C to + 85°C and are preformed on all mentioned
instruments.
Extreme temperature test performed on LBFS
The LBFS are connected to a 100 Ω resistor on the output. This will ensure that the current limit circuit are
activated during the test and the maximum current are known. Measuring the output is done with a 10Kohm
resistor as mentioned in the datasheet.
All measurings are performed with supply voltage of 24VDC.

The requirement of this point concerns power supply units and therefore not applicable for the LFFS and LBFS
series.
5.1.2 Supply by a static converter or a rotating set
See test performed in 5.1.1.1.
5.1.3 Supply change over
The LBFFS and LBFS comply to class C1, which means a power supply reduction to 0.6xUn during 100ms. A
class C2 of power supply changeover would generate a power restart of device T400 series. But no failure can
be generated in that case.

6.1.2 Proof reliability
MTBF calculations for LFFS and LBFS are carried out as show below:
LFFS:
The foundation of the used MTBF calculation method is “The Field Data Measurement”
The interpretation of registered failure has been evaluated with respect to the nature of the malfunction which
was discovered in the data gathering period. Some of the distinctively failures was, measurings gives rise to a
wrong output, wrong start up or an incorrect function during configuration. Inappropriate handling which could
cause fault has not been taken into consideration.
Conditions for the calculation:
It is assumed that the Level Switch LFFS works continually to perform level detection in the data gathering
period, the ambient temperature is 25°C.
In the MTBF calculation is a year corresponding to 8.760 hours in one year. The data gathering period during
this calculation has been 39 weeks.
Furthermore, following considerations have been taken in to account, 85% of sold transmitters are actually
installed and fully operation. 90% of failed products in the test period are returned for the factory for repair, the
rest have not been return or are still waiting for being returned.

7.2 Detailed practices – Hardware
7.2.1 Interface
All circuits are tested to meet requirements from actual norms regarding EMC immunity and emission. All tests
are documented as shown in appendix A. There are not galvanic isolation build in the electrical construction.
However there is not contact between the media and the electrical parts.
The principals used for level measurement do not involve moving part for measured the level of the media. This
ensures mechanical stability.
The allowed power supply voltage is below 60VDC/AC which means the European guideline 73/23/EWG is not
applicable for those instruments.
7.2.2 Fault protection
The LFFS and LBFS are protected against permanent reverse polarity of the power lines in the voltage domain
defined by the supply voltage range.
A change or restoring can be done by the configuration unit Flexprogrammer9701. Teach-in can also be
performed without configuration unit, see the manual.
7.2.3 Referring power supplies
Not applicable, this is a requirement for power supplies.
7.2.4 Interchangeability
Not applicable, these requirement concern modular systems which contain single replaceable elements.
7.2.5 Reduction of power supply voltage
The LFFS and LBFS will not be damage by reducing power supply voltage. If power supply voltage drops
below specified supply voltage will cause a reset of the microcontroller. The microcontroller wil A rise again in
the power supply will reset and started again if supply raises again.
7.2.6 Polarity reversal
LFFS and LBFS are protected against permanent reversed polarity.
7.2.7 Inrush currents
No inrush current occurs with LFFS and LBFS.
7.2.8 Spare capacity
Adaption of user demands can be implemented on request. Product Firmware can be change on user location.
7.3 Detailed practices – Software
7.3.1 General
The design phase is part of the company quality system according to ISO9001, which ensures a model where
each phase in the product development procedure from specification to integration is described. This procedure
covers hardware as well as software development and ensures a uniform development procedure where each
step is documented.
The two instruments LFFS and LBFS are both able to be firmware updated in case on maintenance. This also
ensures the possibility for adaption of user demands if needed on site. The firmware update can be carried out
by the customer them self with the Flexprogrammer9701. Newest firmware will always be available for
downloaded on Baumer WEB.

7.3.2 Software design measures
7.3.2.1 Modular approach
The firmware is made in a modular way to ensure that the complexity doesn’t prevent systematic testing and
maintenance.
7.3.2.2 Translator proven in use
For the product isn’t a translator applicable.
For the configurations tools, Flexprogram, can be applied in several languages. For translations to the customers
language a translator can be applied.
7.3.2.3 Recording
All documentation from product design phase is made to meet demands of the quality system.
It is not applicable with a translator for LFFS and LFFS
7.3.2.4 Structured methodology
Checklists are worked out according to the procedure 5509-353 of Baumer A/S ISO9001 quality system.
7.3.2.5 Design and coding methods
Design of the code is done according to best practice and to ensure a test can be performed.
7.3.2.6 Structured programming and analysis
See point 7.3.2.5.
7.3.2.7 Programming language
High level language as C is used where it is possible. This ensures fast and sure maintenance.
7.3.2.8 Proven techniques
Proven techniques which has been used for software development and process are
- Function block diagrams
- sequence diagrams
- data flow diagrams
- decision tables
- process simulation
7.4 Equipment features
7.4.1 Memory checking
All memory are located onboard the microcontroller which helps to ensure full functionality.
7.4.2 Self test
There are not implemented self test routines to the products. However test can be performed by using the
diagnostic routine from the Flexprogam.
7.4.3 Watchdog
Watchdog is build-in the product. Additional will code processing outside defined code area initiate a reset of
the product. This is only applicable for Firmware version 11.
7.3.4 Error indication
Error indication is implemented by indicating an error by blinking with the LEDs.
7.4.5 Recovery
Recovery is ensured as described in point 7.4.3 Watchdog.

8.0 Components
8.1 Procurement
All component used in the product are specified with details as supplier and product code number.
8.2 Application
The product will fulfill requirement as long as the products are used for dedicated applications as level
measurement and if all data have been taken into consideration.
9. Construction
8.1 Mechanical construction
The principal used in LFFS and LBFS ensure that no mechanical stress occurs as a consequence of no moving
parts. However, attention should be given to the specification of the PEEK tip and stainless steel in connection
with the media and environment where the product should work.

defined limits.
Performance criterion C: The visual appearance and mechanical integrity has not
changed.

Functional test
A functional test was performed before, during and after each test.
The test consisted of manually triggering the level switches and observing a blue LED
indicating that the switch had been triggered and that the EUT was working.
On EUT #3 with the steel receptacle observing the LED was not possible. Instead a
change in voltage between the output pins was measured using a voltmeter.
