SIL Declaration of Conformity Functional safety of a process transmitter according to IEC 61508/IEC 61511 Endress+Hauser Wetzer GmbH+Co. KG, Obere Wank 1, 87484 Nesselwang declares as manufacturer, that the process transmitter RMA 422 is suitable for the use in a safety-instrumented system according to standard IEC 61511-1, provided the relevant safety instructions are observed.
• Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT) and • Safe Failure Fraction (SFF). The specific safety-related parameters for the RMA422, as a part of a safety function, are listed in the "Safety- related parameters" chapter. The following table displays the dependence of the "Safety Integrity Level" (SIL) on the "Average Probability of Failure on Demand"...
– The adjustment level of the process-related parameters of the device is protected, e.g. by jumper, password (here: numeric code or key combination) – The function has a "Safety Integrity Level" (SIL) requirement less than 4. All conditions are true for the RMA422. Safety function with RMA422 Safety function for limit...
Settings It is possible to set up on the RMA422. When used as part of a safety function, an analog signal or a limit relay can be used. Please refer to the following table for information on the settings which are permitted or not when using the RMA422 in a safety-related application.
