Hardware Interlock Clause Samples
A Hardware Interlock clause establishes requirements for physical safety mechanisms that prevent equipment from operating under unsafe conditions. Typically, this clause mandates the installation of devices such as switches or locks that automatically disable machinery if certain safety parameters are not met, such as access doors being open or protective guards being removed. The core function of this clause is to enhance workplace safety by ensuring that hazardous equipment cannot be used unless all safety measures are in place, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Hardware Interlock. Not supported in CFP8 module
Hardware Interlock. The CFP2 module Hardware Interlock function is specified in Ref. [1] with power classes defined in the below Table 2-2. Hardware Interlock Description Power Class CFP2 Module Power Dissipation W MSB LSB
1 1 > 4 > 9
Hardware Interlock. The CFP MSA encompasses a wide range of applications and thus the expected power consumption of the CFP module will vary accordingly. Often systems are limited in the amount of power which can be dissipated in various module slots. The Hardware Interlock provides for four different power consumption levels. The module shall compare the maximum power dissipation under vendor specified operating conditions to the host system cooling capacity value communicated via the Hardware Interlock. See the Table 2-2: Hardware Interlock for definition of the Hardware Interlock function. The Hardware Interlock pins shall be kept at a static value during the transient Initialize state, and any change to the values will result in unpredictable module behavior.
