Comparison of MTBF for selected configurations

The following sections compare systems with a centralized and distributed I/Os.
The following framework conditions are set for the calculation.
● MDT (Mean Down Time) 4 hours
● Ambient temperature 40 degrees
● Buffer voltage is safeguarded
A.2.1

System configurations with redundant CPU 417-5H

The following system with one CPU (e.g. 417-5H) operating in stand-alone mode forms the
basis for calculation of a reference factor, which defines the multiple of the system MTBF of
other systems with centralized I/Os compared to the base line.
