FLEX I/O Modules
This chapter discusses the FLEX I/O modules that are SIL2 certified.
Overview of FLEX I/O
Modules
In the most basic description, there are two types of SIL2-certified FLEX I/O
modules:
• Digital I/O modules
• Analog I/O modules
With each type, however, there are differences between specific modules.
Because the differences propagate to varying levels in each module type, a
graphical representation can best provide an overview of the many
SIL2-certified FLEX I/O modules.
FLEX I/O modules are designed with inherent features that assist them in
complying with the requirements of the 61508 Standard. For example, the
modules all have a common backplane interface, execute power-up and
runtime diagnostics, and offer electronic keying.
Table 1.1 lists the FLEX I/O modules initially submitted for SIL2
certification.
