Machine builders asking about ISO 13849 joystick PLd requirements need clarity on performance levels (PL), category architecture, and whether the stick itself or the entire control chain holds the safety rating [Source: ISO 13849-1; elobau JE vs J4F CANopen Safety comparison PDF; Caldaro C15 CANopen Safety announcement]. Trunsin standard ZS40 and AT16 builds target informational CAN/analog — PLd/SIL2 programs require engineering evaluation, not catalog add-to-cart.

ISO 13849 joystick PLd — documentation checklist
| Document | OEM must supply | Trunsin role |
|---|---|---|
| Risk assessment | PLr per function | Input to feasibility |
| Architecture | Category 3/4 if PLd | Sensor redundancy review |
| Bus type | Standard vs Safety CAN | Map vs SRDO path |
| Validation | Functional test records | FAI support on approved builds |

Frequently asked questions
Is catalog ZS40 PLd certified?
No — standard builds are non-safe CAN/analog; ask engineering for safety programs.
Does PLd require dual Hall sensors?
Architecture depends on category — redundancy is system-level, not one checkbox.
CANopen Safety vs standard CAN?
SRDO and safety PDO — SRDO guide.
AWP sticks need PLd?
Usually informational — AWP cluster separate from safety-rated mining/crane OEM specs.
