3.1 System Structure
3.1.1 Low Demand Mode of Operation
If there are two control loops, one for the standard operation and another one for the functional
safety, then usually the demand rate for the safety loop is assumed to be less
than once per year.
The relevant safety parameters to be verified are:
•the PFDavg value (average Probability of dangerous Failure on Demand)
and the T1value (proof test interval that has a direct impact on the PFDavg value)
•the SFF value (Safe Failure Fraction)
•the HFT architecture (Hardware Fault Tolerance)
3.1.2 High Demand or Continuous Mode of Operation
If there is only one safety loop, which combines the standard operation and safety-related
operation, then usually the demand rate for this safety loop is assumed to be higher
than once per year.
The relevant safety parameters to be verified are:
•the PFH value (Probability of dangerous Failure per Hour)
•Fault reaction time of the safety system
•the SFF value (Safe Failure Fraction)
•the HFT architecture (Hardware Fault Tolerance)
3.1.3 Safe Failure Fraction
The safe failure fraction describes the ratio of all safe failures and dangerous detected failures
to the total failure rate.
SFF = (s + dd) / (s + dd + du)
A safe failure fraction as defined in IEC/EN 61508 is only relevant for elements or (sub)systems
in a complete safety loop. The device under consideration is always part of a safety loop
but is not regarded as a complete element or subsystem.
For calculating the SIL of a safety loop it is necessary to evaluate the safe failure fraction
of elements, subsystems and the complete system, but not of a single device.

3.2 Assumptions
The following assumptions have been made during the FMEDA:
•Failure rate based on the Siemens standard SN 29500.
•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.
•The device will be used under average industrial ambient conditions comparable
to the classification "stationary mounted" according to MIL-HDBK-217F.
Alternatively, operating stress conditions typical of an industrial field environment similar
to IEC/EN 60654-1 Class C with an average temperature over a long period of time
of 40 ºC may be assumed. 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.
SIL 2 Application
Only use the device in SIL 2 applications in combination with a control unit according
to EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR).
•The device claims less than 25 % of the total failure budget for a SIL 2 safety loop.
•For a SIL 2 application operating in low demand mode the total PFDavg value
of the SIF (Safety Instrumented Function) should be smaller than 1 x 10-2,
hence the maximum allowable PFDavg value would then be 2.5 x 10-3.
•For a SIL 2 application operating in high demand mode the total PFH value
of the SIF should be smaller than 1 x 10-6 per hour, hence the maximum allowable
PFH value would then be 2.5 x 10-7 per hour.
•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.
SIL 3 Application
Only use the device in SIL 3 applications in combination with a control unit for
SIL 3 safety applications from Pepperl+Fuchs, i. e. switch amplifier KFD2-SH-Ex1.
•The device claims less than 25 % of the total failure rate for a SIL 3 safety loop.
•For a SIL 3 application operating in low demand mode the total PFDavg value
of the SIF (Safety Instrumented Function) should be smaller than 10-3,
hence the maximum allowable PFDavg value would then be 2.5 x 10-4.
•For a SIL 3 application operating in high demand mode the total PFH value
of the SIF should be smaller than 10-7 per hour, hence the maximum allowable PFH value
would then be 2.5 x 10-8 per hour.
•Since the safety loop has a hardware fault tolerance of 0 and it is a type A device,
the SFF must be > 90 % according to table 2 of IEC/EN 61508-2 for a SIL 3 (sub) system.

3.3 Safety Function and Safe State
Safe State
The safe state of the device is the high impedance state (low current).
Applications with control units or safety functions where the safe state is the low impedance
state (high current) were not evaluated.
Safety Function
Figure 3.1 Distance values for the design of the safety function (abstract figure)
The SN sensor signals the safe state when the reference object is inside of the slot (s > Sao).
The assured operating distance Sao for the SN sensor is 8.0 mm.
The S1N sensor signals the safe state when the reference object is outside of the slot (s < Sar).
The assured release distance Sar for the S1N sensor is 0.0 mm.
These distances are valid when using the following reference objects:

3.5 Useful Lifetime
Although a constant failure rate is assumed by the probabilistic estimation this only applies
provided that the useful lifetime of components is not exceeded. Beyond this useful lifetime,
the result of the probabilistic estimation is meaningless as the probability of failure significantly
increases with time. The useful lifetime is highly dependent on the component itself
and its operating conditions – temperature in particular. For example, electrolytic capacitors
can be very sensitive to the operating temperature.
This assumption of a constant failure rate is based on the bathtub curve, which shows
the typical behavior for electronic components.
Therefore it is obvious that failure calculation is only valid for components that have
this constant domain and that the validity of the calculation is limited to the useful lifetime
of each component.
It is assumed that early failures are detected to a huge percentage during the installation
and therefore the assumption of a constant failure rate during the useful lifetime is valid.
The standard EN/ISO 13849-1:2015 proposes a useful lifetime TM of 20 years for devices
used within industrial environments. This device is designed for this lifetime.
Observe that the useful lifetime can be reduced if the device is exposed to the following
conditions:
•highly stressful environmental conditions such as constantly high temperatures
•temperature cycles with high temperature differences
•permanent repeated mechanical stress (vibration)
Please note that the useful lifetime refers to the (constant) failure rate of the device.
The effective lifetime can be higher.
The estimated useful lifetime is greater than the warranty period prescribed by law
or the manufacturer's guarantee period. However, this does not result in an extension
of the warranty or guarantee services. Failure to reach the estimated useful lifetime
is not a material defect.

Operation
5 Operation
Operating the device
1. Observe the safety instructions in the instruction manual.
2. Observe the information in the manual.
3. Use the device only with devices that are suitable for this safety application.
4. Correct any occurring safe failures within 8 hours. Take measures to maintain
the safety function while the device is being repaired.
5.1 Proof Test
If you perform a proof test for the safety loop, the following steps are necessary:
•Check the device for housing damages. If moisture penetrates into the device
or internal components of the device are damaged, this can lead to unpredictable effects.
•Check that the device is working correctly. If the device is not working correctly
or not working, replace the device.
For this proof test, no proof test coverage (PTC) can be claimed as only a full functional test
with the defined reference object over the temperature range can reveal an unacceptable
dislocation of the switching point (PTC = 100 %). But the safety characteristic values
are considered low enough to continually manage without proof test.
Danger!
Danger to life from missing safety function
If the safety loop is put out of service, the safety function is no longer guaranteed.
•Do not deactivate the device.
•Do not bypass the safety function.
•Do not repair, modify, or manipulate the device.
