The analysis was performed assuming that PVST faults can be detected by monitoring the end
position switch via a safety PLC.
1)
To determine the overall SFF (safe failure fraction), the overall final sub-system must be evaluated.
The indicated figure is for reference only.
2)
SIL AC (architectural restrictions) means, that the calculated values are within the range for hardware
architecture restrictions of the respective SIL.
3)
Safe end position with PVST safety function
The safety figures in the tables below refer to an end position feedback (i.e. either
end position OPEN or end position CLOSED). If the end position feedback of both
end positions OPEN and CLOSED are to be considered, the indicated safety figures
must be considered once for each of the two end positions.

of one end position (OPEN or CLOSED) with PVST
