Determining the Safety Integrity Level (SIL)

The achievable Safety Integrity Level is determined by the following safety-related parameters:

-

Average probability of dangerous failures of a safety function on demand (PFD

avg

),

-

Hardware fault tolerance (HFT) and

-

Safe failure fraction (SFF).

The specific safety-related parameters for the measuring system of the JUMO safetyM STB/STW Ex can be found in the table
in the "Safety-related parameters" chapter.

The following table shows how the "Safety Integrity Level" (SIL) depends on the "average probability of dangerous failures of a
safety function of the entire safety-related system" (PFD

avg

) according to DIN EN 61508. The "low demand mode" is consid-

ered, i.e. the demand rate for the safety-related system averages once a year.
