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 701150 measuring system may be found in the table of the "Safety-related pa-

rameters" 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 61 508. The "low demand mode" is consid-

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