1 The switching contact output is connected to a fail-safe NAMUR amplifier (e.g. Pepperl
& Fuchs KF**-SH-Ex1). The failure rates of the amplifier are not included in the listed
failure rates.
2 The number listed is for reference only. The SFF must be determined for the complete
subsystem.
3 SIL AC (architectural constraints) means that the calculated values are within the range
for hardware architectural contraints for the corresponding SIL level.
4 It is assumed that proof testing is performed with a proof test coverage of 99%.
5 The PFD
AVG
was calculated for profile 2 using the Markov modelling. The results must
be considered in combination with PFD
AVG
values of other devices of the Safety
Instrumented Function (SIF) in order to determine suitability for a specific Safety
Integrity Level (SIL)
For SIL1 applications, the PFD
AVG
value needs to be < 10 -1 .
For SIL2 applications, the PFD
AVG
value needs to be < 10 -2 .
