3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 14 Average probability of dangerous failure on demand PFDavg (LDM = 1 ndash 10 switching cyclesyear)Average probability of a dangerous failure of the safety function on demand (LDM = low demand mode)see EN 61508-6

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is disconnected from the power supplyOpening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the armature with the attached valve dics upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pres-sure are divided almost equally between the two valve seatsClosing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial

position by the closing spring The gas solenoid valve closes within 1 sThe strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve prevents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1 ndash 8 N VAS 1 ndash 3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1 ndash 3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

Installation position black solenoid actuator in the vertical upright position or tilted up to the horizontal not upside down

Sealing material and thread cuttings must not be allowed to get into the valve housing

Install a filter upstream of every system

gt20 mmgt0 79

The unit must not be in contact with masonry Minimum clear-ance 20 mm (079 inches)Ensure that there is sufficient space for installation and ad-justment

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 14 Average probability of dangerous failure on demand PFDavg (LDM = 1 ndash 10 switching cyclesyear)Average probability of a dangerous failure of the safety function on demand (LDM = low demand mode)see EN 61508-6

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 14 Average probability of dangerous failure on demand PFDavg (LDM = 1 ndash 10 switching cyclesyear)Average probability of a dangerous failure of the safety function on demand (LDM = low demand mode)see EN 61508-6

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failuresNOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnostic cover-age could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous modeOperating mode where the frequency of demands for opera-tion made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-42008

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-12008

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant components due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causesNOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-62010

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dan-gerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the mini-mum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

VAS VCS middot Edition 0715 62

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are as-sumed to appearfrom EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or continuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 14 Average probability of dangerous failure on demand PFDavg (LDM = 1 ndash 10 switching cyclesyear)Average probability of a dangerous failure of the safety function on demand (LDM = low demand mode)see EN 61508-6
