Safety Integrity Level
SIL
The international standard IEC 61508 defines 4 levels (SIL 1 through SIL 4).
Function to be implemented by a safety-related system for risk reduction with the
objective to achieve or maintain a safe state for the plant/equipment with respect to
a specific dangerous event.
Function with specified safety integrity level (SIL) to achieve functional safety.
Safety instrumented system for executing a single or several safety instrumented
functions. An SIS consists of sensor(s), logic system and actuator(s).
A safety-related system includes all factors (hardware, software, human factors)
necessary to implement one or several safety functions. Consequently failures of
safety function would result in a significant increase in saf ety risks for people and/or
the environment.
A safety-related system can comprise stand-alone systems dedicated to perform a
particular safety function or can be integrated into a plant.

Proof test
MTTR (Mean Time To
Restoration)
MRT (Mean Repair Time)
Device type (type A and
type B)
Periodic test performed to detect dangerous hidden f ailures in a safety-related system
so that, if necessary, a repair can restore the system to an "as new" condition or as
close as practical to this condition.
Mean time to restoration once a failure has occurred. Indicates the expected mean
time to achieve restoration of the system. It is therefore an important parameter for
system availability.The time for detecting the failure, planning tasks as well as
operating resources is also included. It should be reduced to a minimum.
Mean repair time indicates the mean time required to repair a system.The MRT is
crucial when defining the reliability and availability of a system.The MRT should
preferably be small.
Actuator controls can be regarded as type A devices if all of the follo wing conditions
are met for all components required to achieve the safety instrumented function:
●
The failure modes for all constituent components involved are well defined
●
The behaviour under fault conditions can be completely determined.
●
There is sufficient dependable failure data from the field to show that the claimed
rates of failure are met (confidence level min. 70 %).
Actuator controls shall be regarded as type B devices if one or sev eral of the follo wing
conditions are met:
●
The failure of at least one constituent component is not well defined.
●
The fault behaviour is not completely known.
●
There is insufficient dependable failure data to support claims for rates of f ailure
for detected and undetected dangerous failures.
PTC (Proof Test Cover-
age)
Proof test coverage describes the fraction of f ailures which can be detected by means
of a proof test.

Hardware, software and configuration of actuator and actuator controls must not be
modified without prior written consent by AUMA. Unauthorised modification may
have a negative impact on both safety figures and SIL capability of the products.
In applications with requirements on functional safety, only AUMA actuator controls
and actuators in SFC or SIL version may be used. SFC stands for “Safety Figure
Calculated”.This designation identifies AUMA products for which saf ety figures were
calculated on the basis of FMEDA from field data and generic data (for detailed information refer to <Determination of the figures>).
AUMA actuator controls and actuators in SFC v ersion can among others be identified
from the letters "SFC" following the type designation on the name plate.

SA .2 with AC(V) 01.2/AC(V)ExC 01.2Architecture, configuration and applications
3.Architecture, configuration and applications
3.1.Architecture (actuator sizing)
For actuator architecture (actuator sizing) the maximum torques, run torques and
operating times are taken into consideration.
Incorrect actuator architecture can lead to device damage within the safetyrelated system!
Possib le consequences can be valve damage , motor overheating, contactor jamming,
defective thyristors, heating up or damage to cables.
→
The actuator technical data must imperatively be observed when selecting the
actuator.
→
Sufficient reserves have to be provided to ensure that actuators are capab le of
reliably opening or closing the valve even in the event of an accident or undervoltage.
Information
For the “Safe end position feedback” safety function, heed that signalling is made
via mechanical switches. Since these elements have an unav oidab le h ysteresis , the
actuator slightly leaves the end position before the end position signal is deleted.
Consequently, there is a marginal range of actuator positions to the safety position,
for which the end position is still signalled although the actuator has already left the
end position during operation from safety position. If the range in question is approached from the opposite direction, this limitation does not apply. In general this
range is relatively small. However, for unfavourable configurations (low number of
turns per stroke), this range can amount to more than 10 % of the total stroke.
Should, within the framework of unfa v ourab le conditions, the eff ect described abov e
represent an unacceptable limitation for the saf ety function, we recommend ev aluating
both limit and torque switches for the end position feedback.
Power supply
Information
The plant operator is responsible for power supply.
3.2.Configuration (setting)
Configuration (setting) of the safety-related functions is performed as described in
the operation instructions or in the present manual (functional safety).
Information
An exact setting of torque and end position switches f or the end positions is imperatively required to ensure correct function of “Safe end position feedback”. For setting
details related to the respective switches, please refer to operation instructions.
Configuration of reaction monitoring diagnostics and Partial V alve Str oke T est
(PVST)
Depending on the type of diagnostics required, the reaction monitoring or Partial
Valve Stroke Test configurations have to be checked and adapted, if required.
For detailed configuration options on reaction monitoring as well as detailed
information on the Partial Valve Stroke Test (PVST), refer to Manual (Operation and
setting) AUMATIC AC 01.2.
3.3.Protection against uncontrolled operation (self-locking/brake)
For self-locking AUMA actuators, it can be assumed that a load up to maximum
torque will not result in uncontrolled valve operation from standstill due to v alve torque
load. Consequently, in these cases, further protection against uncontrolled operation
is not imperatively required. Howe ver , certain applications may require activ e position
locking, for e xample b y using a brake .There are user-specific standards demanding
this type of protection.Therefore, each project must be subject to individual verification
if any further protection is required. In any case, this protection is required for
actuators without self-locking.

3.4.Operation mode (low/high demand mode)
The safety functions of the actuators supplied by AUMA are suitable for the low
demand mode and may only be used in this operation mode. If a non-safety
instrumented function of basic process control system is executed via the same
actuator in addition to the safety function, note that while considering the sum of
non-safety instrumented function, required tests and safety function, the defined
number of maximum permissible cycles1) for the respective actuator as well as the
maximum number of starts2) may not be exceeded during deplo yment of the actuator
within a safety instrumented system.
Only the “safe end position feedback” safety function can be operated beyond
the limitations mentioned above under certain conditions even in operation mode
with high demand rate, provided the following requirements and limitations are
heeded:
●
When considering the sum consisting of non-safety instrumented function, required tests and safety function, the number of maximum cycles of the actuator
end position switches as well as the maximum number of starts during actuator
deployment are not exceeded in a safety instrumented system.
●
When considering the sum consisting of non-safety instrumented function, required tests and safety function, the number of maximum cycles f or the respective actuator as well as the maximum number of permissible cycles1) or starts
are not exceeded, if appropriate scaling rules are applied.
●
Lubrication is checked at regular intervals and the lubricant changed if required,
however, at least every 10 years.
●
Every 20,000 cycles1) or starts2) (whatever occurs earlier), the crown wheel and
the worm wheel are checked for wear and replaced if required.
●
The end user makes sure that a test rate (PVST) is achieved for the “Saf e end
position feedback” safety function, complying with the demand r ate to be expected according to the applicable standards for the respective application.
●
All requirements in accordance with the “Technical data for switches” (Y004.619)
data sheet are respected. In particular , the permissible minimum and maximum
currents and voltages.
●
The number of cycles1) as well as the number of cycles of each limit and torque
switch do not exceed the values stipulated in the table below:
