  80. If "frozen output" failures are classified as DU, and failures as "drift failure" are classified as 50%DU and 50%SU, then DU failure rate should always be higher than SU failure rate. But considering,for example, the Yokogawa EJA Serie E transmitter I see  
  81. If a sensor is put on a soft maintenance bypass, would that be considered as an online maintenance?

  88. In order to meet Target SIL 3, we have to apply PVST (Automatic; Interval 3 Months; Coverage 80%) for both valve groups. This means if I input ESD as an interface module for Valve 2, it looks like ESD is also diagnosed by PVST; (Actually, ESD is not relat

  111. The exSILentia database includes failure rates for Industrial PLC that has the remark that the data reflects a high-end general purpose PLC like ControlLogix. The Allen Bradley safety reference manual on Using ControlLogix in SIL 2 applications states tha  
  112. The SERH data for a Fisher Control DVC6200 SIS DETT lists the device type as Type A, which means it should be a simple mechanical non programmable device. However as the DVC6200 SIS has a micro controller cum processor built in which can be programmed for
