Reaction times and safety characteristics for fail-safe operation 
This section applies to fail-safe operation with fail-safe Mobile Panels. 
 
Note 
Proof-test intervals 
Proof
-test interval of the device (Lifetime): 20 years. The device must be replaced after this, 
 
-test interval for safety-
related operator controls dependent on the Safety Integrity Level 
SIL:
 
  SIL2: Function test 1 × per year 
  SIL3: Function test 1 × per month 
The table shows below the reaction times of the HMI device up to the output of the 
connection box, dependent on the F-system. 
●  For hardwired F-system: Reaction time of HMI device up to output or interface X10 of the 
connection box. 
●  For a PROFIsafe-based F-system: Reaction time of HMI device up to interface X1 of the 
connection box.
