2. Application and validity
2.1. Range of application
AUMA actuators and actuator controls in SIL version, with the safety functions
mentioned in this manual, are intended for operation of industrial valves and are
suitable for use in safety instrumented systems in accordance with IEC 61508 or
IEC 61511.
2.2. Standards
Both actuators and actuator controls meet the following requirements:
●
IEC 61508 ED.2: Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable elec-
tronic safety-related systems
2.3. Valid device types
The data on functional safety contained in this manual applies to the device types
indicated hereafter.

Hardware, software and configuration of actuator and actuator controls must not be
modified without prior written consent by AUMA. Unauthorised modification may
have a negative impact on both safety figures and SIL capability of the products.
Information
In applications with requirements on functional safety, only AUMA actuator controls
and actuators in SFC or SIL version may be used.
AUMA actuator controls and actuators in SIL version can among others be identified
from the letters “SIL” on the name plate.
