9.9 Safety-Technical Data
The failure rates of the electronics were determined through
FMEDA according to EC 61508. The calculations are based on the
component failure rates according to SN 29500. All numerical val-
ues refer to an average ambient temperature of +40°C (104°F).
The calculations are further based on the information given in the
chapter “Project Planning”.
