Appendix D
Safety Data for Safety Modules
This appendix lists calculated values for probability of a dangerous failure on 
demand (PFD), average frequency of a dangerous failure per hour (PFH), and 
mean time to failure (MTTF). PFD and PFH calculations comply with 
IEC61508, edition 2, 2010.
Calculated values of PFD and PFH appear in 
Table 93 on page 288 for the 
5069-IB8S and 5069-IB8SK modules and 
Table 94 on page 289 for the 5069-
OBV8S and 5069-OBV8SK modules. PFD and PFH must be calculated for 
the devices within the system to comply with the SIL level that is required for 
application.
You are responsible for following the requirements of ISO 13849-1:20015, to 
assess Performance Levels in your safety system.
You must functionally test every I/O module. To functionally test the modules, 
complete the following tasks:
• Input points - Toggle every input point, and verify that the system 
detects the input state change within the safety reaction time (SRT).
• Output points - Use the controller to toggle every output point, and 
verify that the output point changes state. 
SRT is a consideration of delays or latencies within the safety system.

5380 Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual (TÜV), publication 
1756-RM012.
