Assumptions

The following assumptions have been made during the FMEDA:
• The device shall claim less than 10 % of the total failure budget for a
SIL 2 safety loop.
• For a SIL 2 application operating in low demand mode the total PFD
of the SIF (Safety Instrumented Function) should be smaller than 10
the maximum allowable PFD
• For a SIL 2 application operating in high demand mode the total PFH value of
the SIF should be smaller than 10
PFH value would then be 10
• Failure rate based on the Siemens standard SN29500.
• Failure rates are constant, wear is not considered.
• External power supply failure rates are not included.
• The safety-related device is considered to be of type A device with a hardware
fault tolerance of 0.
• Since the safety loop has a hardware fault tolerance of 0 and it is a
type A device, the SFF must be > 60 % according to table 2 of
IEC/EN 61508-2 for a SIL 2 (sub) system.
• The device will be used under average industrial ambient conditions, which
are comparable with the classification "stationary mounted" in
MIL-HDBK-217F. Alternatively, the following ambient conditions are assumed:
• IEC/EN 60654-1 Class C (sheltered location) with temperature limits in the
• The application program in the programmable logic controller (PLC) is
configured to detect underrange and overrange failures.
• The devices are not protected against power supply failures. It is within the
responsibility of the user to ensure that low supply voltages are detected and
adequate reaction on this fault is implemented.

range of the manufacturer's specifications and an average temperature of
40 ºC over a long period. The humidity level is within manufacturer's rating.
For a higher average temperature of 60 ºC, the failure rates must be
multiplied by a factor of 2.5 based on experience. A similar factor must be
used if frequent temperature fluctuations are expected.
