  • Page 5: Scope

    This document is a Safety Manual for the Basic Limitorque™ MXa electronic actuator system with Standard Controls Package as developed for the Limitorque branded actuators that are manufactured by Flowserve Corporation. Optional printed circuit boards may be included with the basic actuator as shown in the following table. However, while the inclusion of those options will not result in a change to the Safety Integrity Level [SIL], their use will result in a slight reduction in values for some of the safety metrics as shown in sections 6 and 8.

  • Page 7: Safety Integrity Level [Sil]

    Limitorque MX Electronic Actuator FCD LMENIM2350-02 A4 – 05/16 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) The international standard IEC 61508 defines four Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) from SIL 1 to SIL 4. Each level provides an expectation for the probability of a failure on demand for a given safety function. Higher SIL values indicate higher integrity against random failure probability that a safety function will perform when required (see Table 1 for relative comparisons) and higher integrity against systemic failures.

  • Page 24: Commissioning

    Flowserve strongly recommends remote communication wiring be routed separately from line power wiring. Specifically, instrumentation wiring, including communication, analog and discrete signal signals, should be routed in conduits or raceways that are separate from power wiring. Flowserve cannot guarantee the reliability of instrumentation signaling if this recommendation is not implemented.
