Precautions for use of safety programmable controller
Users must prove that their entire safety system complies with the safety standards and the Machinery Directive. The third-
party certification organization will validate the safety of product for the entire safety system, including a safety programmable
controller and safety components.
■Target failure measure (PFDavg/PFH) calculation
To establish a safety system, calculate the target failure measure (PFDavg/PFH) for each safety application (safety function)
based on the PFDavg/PFH values of the safety programmable controller and connected safety components. The target failure
measure (PFDavg/PFH) is the reliability target value for each Safety Integrity Level (SIL) defined in IEC 61508 and can be
calculated by the following formula.
PFDavg/PFH = A + B + C + D......Calculation formula of PFDavg/PFH
Variable
Definition
A
Total PFDavg/PFH of the safety CPU module, power supply module, base unit, and CC-Link IE TSN master module
B
PFDavg/PFH of the CC-Link IE TSN remote I/O module (with safety functions)
(1) When safety input device(s) and safety output device(s) are connected to the same CC-Link IE TSN remote I/O module (with safety
functions): B = B1
(2) When safety input device(s) and safety output device(s) are connected to the different CC-Link IE TSN remote I/O modules (with safety
functions): B = B1 + B2
B1
PFDavg/PFH of the CC-Link IE TSN remote I/O module (with safety functions) to which safety input device(s) is connected
B2
PFDavg/PFH of the CC-Link IE TSN remote I/O module (with safety functions) to which safety output device(s) is connected

C
PFDavg/PFH of safety input device(s)

D
PFDavg/PFH of safety output device(s)
*1 For the values of PFDavg/PFH, refer to the manuals for the safety components used.
The following table lists the PFDavg/PFH of safety remote I/O modules.
