Table
Table 11
gives the maximum SIL, PL, and Cat levels that can be achieved with a combination. Other factors than speed meas-
urement can be the limiting factor on system level. For example, either SIL 2 or SIL 3 can be achieved with the OPTAF STO option
board as a single final element. See the VACON
For non-safe Sin/Cos encoders, it is required in the table
model "Exchange of Sin and Cos signal inside the encoder" must be excluded.
Combinations that are not listed in the table
It can still be possible to use unlisted combinations. Regardless of the used speed measurement combination, it is the responsibility
of the system designer to make sure that the used combination is adequate and sufficient.
When multiple speed sources are used, the monitored limit of a safety function must not be set below the value of Allowed Devi-
ation of Speed Sources.
