INTRODUCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 1.1 Scope of the document This document is the safety manual for the OPTISWIRL 4200. Its content applies if the measurement device is operated in SIL mode or prepared for SIL mode, respectively. General Hint This vortex flowmeter is a functionally safe flowmeter. It may be deployed within safety critical...
Check in case a firmware is updated or any part of the device is replaced, whether a new safety manual is available on the manufacturer's internet site. Release date Electronic revision Changes and compatibility Documentation 2017-07-10 ER 2.0.0_ Initial version AD OPTISWIRL 4200 SIL R01 07/2017 - 4005006101 - AD OPTISWIRL4200 SIL R01 en www.krohne.com...
From these data the device calculates normalised flow rate, mass flow rate, power flowrate, etc. In SIL mode the OPTISWIRL 4200 measures the volume flow rate and outputs the measurement via the safe 4…20 mA current output.
INTRODUCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 1.5 Terms and definitions Term Description Diagnostic Coverage of dangerous failures Equipment Under Control Firmware Software embedded in the device Failure In Time (1x10 failures per hour) FMEDA Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostics Analysis Fault Response Time (diagnostic test interval + Fault Reaction Time)
SPECIFICATION OF THE SAFETY FUNCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 2.1 Preconditions The device must be operated within the process and ambient conditions specified in the handbook ([N1]) of the device. The following chapter defines additional conditions, which have to be obeyed for safety applications.
SPECIFICATION OF THE SAFETY FUNCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 SAC8: Inspection intervals Operation modes and The definition of the maximum proof test intervals (for details refer to proof test on page 19) are calculated for operation under reference conditions. The operator is responsible for adjusting the proof test intervals if the deployment conditions deviate from the reference conditions.
SPECIFICATION OF THE SAFETY FUNCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 2.3 Operation modes SIL mode In SIL mode, the device executes the safety function and will react safely if an error is detected which prevents the correct execution of the safety function. In this mode, the device is functionally safe and the safety relevant key figures like hazard rate, FRT etc.
SPECIFICATION OF THE SAFETY FUNCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 Homogeneous redundancy The degree of a functional safe device is determined by the accomplished qualitative safety integrity level and the quantitative hazard rate determined by the failure rate of the deployed hardware. If two or more identically constructed devices are used in parallel (device A is of the same type as device A’...
SPECIFICATION OF THE SAFETY FUNCTION OPTISWIRL 4200 2.5 Safety reaction and safe state The vortex flowmeter reacts safely, as soon as a failure is detected by the output of the low or high failure current (safety reaction). As an additional feature, temporary and persistent failures can be distinguished: •...
OPERATION OPTISWIRL 4200 3.1 Preparation for SIL mode operation For execution of the safety function, the device must be unlocked for SIL mode operation and configured for SIL mode. Devices, which have been ordered as SIL devices, have been unlocked for SIL mode by factory setting.

OPERATION OPTISWIRL 4200 Setting of the SIL jumper • Remove the display while device is powered (for details refer to [N1], chapter "Turning the display"). • Set the jumper to SIL position as shown in the figures below. • Reattach the display.
OPERATION OPTISWIRL 4200 3.3 Switch to non-SIL mode In order to switch the device from SIL mode to non-SIL mode the following steps have to be performed. • Remove the display (for details refer to [N1], chapter "Turning the display").
OPERATION OPTISWIRL 4200 3.5 Parameter types In SIL mode the device parameters are distinguished in three parameter types. Two types affect safety: • Safety critical data: Safety critical data: These parameters have a fixed setting and cannot be changed but read...
SERVICE OPTISWIRL 4200 4.1 Maintenance You must follow the maintenance instructions given in the handbook [N1]. 4.2 Availability of services The manufacturer offers a range of services to support the customer after expiration of the warranty. These include repair, maintenance, technical support and training.

SERVICE OPTISWIRL 4200 • Integrate a current meter into the current loop. • Disconnect the 3-pole plug and connect a frequency generator as illustrated below. The 2-pole and 5-pole plugs must remain connected! The 2-pole and 5-pole plugs must remain connected!
Page 22
SERVICE OPTISWIRL 4200 • Increase frequencies stepwise. The loop current must follow according to the following table: Frequency [Hz] Nominal current [mA] Acceptable current range [mA] 3.96...4.04 8.41...8.58 1229 12.5 12.38...12.63 1636 16.5 16.30...16.63 2000 20.0 19.81...20.21 • Continue only if test is successful. Stop if any current is out of the accepted limits! •...
SERVICE OPTISWIRL 4200 4.4 Resetting the fail-safe flags Rebooting of a device operated in SIL mode with a detected safety critical failure is inhibited. In this case, the following message is shown on the display: SIL locked! SIL locked! SIL locked!
TECHNICAL DATA OPTISWIRL 4200 5.1 General notes Safety relevant key indicators • The safety relevant key indicators (for details refer to on page Operation modes 27) are related to the safety function (for details refer to on page 10). • Commissioning and use of the device presupposes agreement with its design and performance characteristics.
TECHNICAL DATA OPTISWIRL 4200 5.4 Safety relevant key indicators All values shown in the following table are related to reference conditions according to [N3]: • Temperature: +15...+25°C / +59...+77°F • Pressure: 1013 mbar ±50 mbar / 14.69 psi ±0.73 psi •...
TECHNICAL DATA OPTISWIRL 4200 5.5 Measuring accuracy The flowmeter measures with the same accuracy in both operation modes, in the non-SIL mode as well as in the SIL mode, as long as the device is intact. But diagnostic measures need a reasonable gap between the states intact and defect for availability reasons.
TECHNICAL DATA OPTISWIRL 4200 5.6 Useful lifetime The established failure rates of electronic components apply within the useful lifetime according to IEC 61508-2, section 7.4.9.5 note 3. The useful lifetime can only be extended under responsibility of the plant operator regarding special operation conditions and the employment of suitable intervals for testing and maintenance.
APPENDIX OPTISWIRL 4200 6.1 Explanations to safety application conditions (SAC) Safety application conditions (SAC) For some SACs (for details refer to on page 8) additional explanations are given below: SAC1: System changes Every state of the system which does not meet its specification might be hazardous, because those states were not completely analyzed.
