Safety Manual
SC0XX-1XX Safety Controller Family
Introduction
This safety manual
This safety manual provides information necessary to design, implement, verify and maintain a safety
critical function utilizing the PLUS+1® SC0XX-1XX Controller Family. This manual provides necessary
requirements for meeting the IEC 61508 : 2010 Parts 1-7 and IEC 62061:2005+ A1:2012+ A2:2015
functional safety standards:
Warning
Read manual completely before programming your application.
Certified SIL 2 Capable
The SC0XX-1XX Controller Family is certified SIL 2 Capable when deployed with the certified SIL 2
Capable OS that is embedded in their respective SC0XX-1XX HWD files.
The SC0XX-0XX Controller Family is designed for meeting the needs of SIL 2 applications where the OEM
certifies at the machine level. The SC0XX-0XX Controller Family is not certified SIL 2 Capable as a
component regardless of the HWD files with which it is deployed. The table below summarizes this
information (the HWD filenames are representative, but not actual).
In all cases, the OEM/customer is responsible for the safety integrity requirement, implementation, and
validation of their application.

Component description and failure rates
Processors and subsystems
The PLUS+1® SC0XX-1XX Controller has two processors, the primary and the secondary processor, which
communicate asynchronously with each other. The PLUS+1® SC0XX-1XX Controller has six main
subsystems, each of which was analyzed individually. The configuration of a specific controller
deployment is a function of the user application software.

Type B component: “Complex” element (using microcontrollers or programmable logic); for details see 7.4.4.1.3 of IEC 61508.
The PLUS+1® SC0XX-1XX Controller is classified as a Type B1 high demand mode component with HFT = 0
per IEC 61508.
The PLUS+1® SC0XX-1XX Controller is certified to provide a 1oo1D architecture in accordance with IEC
61508. This allows the conclusion that a CAT2 architecture can be implemented in accordance with ISO
13849 or ISO 25119. For example this can be accomplished by using the primary processor as main
controller for the Safety Function and the secondary processor as diagnostic element (intelligent watch
dog, TE-Test Equipment) to observe the correct function of the primary processor and to independently
de-energize (safe-state) all corresponding safety-related outputs.

Component description and failure rates
Detailed analysis, review and documentation for compliance to ISO 13849 or ISO 25119 must be done by
the designer or integrator of the safety related system.
Failure categories description
In order to judge the failure behavior of the PLUS+1® SC0XX-1XX Controller, the following definitions for
the failure of the component apply.
Definitions for failure of the component

FIT Failure In Time (1x10-9 failures per hour)
(1)
The failure categories listed above, expand upon the categories listed in IEC 61508, which are only safe and
dangerous, both detected and undetected. In IEC 61508, the No Effect failures cannot contribute to the failure rate
of the safety function. Therefore, they are not used for the Safe Failure Fraction calculation.
(2)
Depending on the application, a Fail High or a Fail Low failure can either be safe or dangerous and may be
detected or undetected depending on the user software application program.
(3)
Consequently, during a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification assessment, the Fail High and Fail Low failure
categories need to be classified as safe or dangerous, and as detected or undetected.
