1 – The Safety Manual
Safety standards for Process & Equipment Under
Control (PUC, EUC)
Safety Manager is a PLC based Safety Instrumented System (SIS) performing
specific safety functions to ensure risks are kept at predefined levels.
A SIS measures, independently from the Basic Process Control System, a couple
of relevant process signals like temperature, pressure, level in a tank or the flow
through a pipe. The values of these signals are compared with the predefined safe
values, and if needed, the SIS gives an alarm or takes action. In such cases the SIS controls the safety of the process and lowers the chance of an unsafe situation.
The logic in Safety Manager defines the response to process parameters.
In this context the following terms are explained in this section:
•Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
•Equipment Under Control (EUC)
•Process Under Control (PUC)
Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
The IEC 61508 standard specifies 4 levels of safety performance for safety
functions. These are called safety integrity levels. Safety integrity level 1 (SIL1)
is the lowest level of safety integrity, and safety integrity level 4 (SIL4) the
highest level. If the level is below SIL 1, the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 do not
apply.
Safety Manager can be used for processes requiring a SIL1, SIL2 and SIL3.
To achieve the required safety integrity level for the E/E/PE safety-related
systems, an overall safety life cycle is adopted as the technical framework (as
defined in IEC 61508). For more information see inside the Safety Manual.
Equipment Under Control (EUC)
EUC is the equipment controlled by Safety Manager.
Safety-related systems are designed to prevent the EUC from going into a
dangerous state. Safety-related systems can broadly be divided into:
•Emergency shutdown systems.
•Fire and Gas detection and control systems.
Safety-related systems interface with the process through sensors and actuators.
The required safety integrity level may be achieved by implementing the safety
4Release 100.3
Page 21
Safety standards for Process & Equipment Under Control (PUC, EUC)
functions in the process control system or by using separate and independent
systems dedicated to safety.
During the various phases of the safety cycle different knowledge and skills are
required with respect to EUC. For more information see inside the Safety Manual.
Process Under Control (PUC)
A Process Under Control is Equipment Under Control expanded with additional
regulations for the process (i.e. refining).
•Where EUC is concerned, the emphasis is on keeping the equipment safe.
•Where PUC is concerned, the emphasis is on keeping the process safe
(broader perspective).
Where PUC is concerned, Safety Manager monitors the process for abnormal
situations. Safety Manager is able to initiate safety actions and process alarms. An
alarm can be caused by abnormal situations in the:
•Process
•Safety loops
•Safety system itself

The IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards
The IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards
SISs have been used for many years to perform safety functions e.g. in chemical,
petro-chemical and gas plants. In order for instrumentation to be effectively used
for safety functions, it is essential that the instrumentation meets certain minimum
standards and performance levels.
To define the characteristics, main concepts and required performance levels,
standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 have been developed. The introduction of
Safety Integrity level (SIL) is one of the results of these standards.
This brief provides a short explanation of each standard. Detailed information
regarding IEC 61508 and 61511 can be found on the IEC web site.
Tip
For more information regarding, or help on, implementing or determining, the applied
safety standards for your plant/process please contact your Honeywell affiliate. Our
Safety Consultants can help you to e.g.:
• perform a hazard risk analysis
• determine the SIL requirements
• design the Safety Instrumented System
• validate and verify the design
• train your local safety staff
IEC 61508, the standard for all safety related systems
The IEC 61508 is called “Functional safety of
electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems”
IEC 61508 covers all safety-related systems that are electrotechnical in nature
(i.e. electromechanical systems, solid-state electronic systems and
computer-based systems).
The standard is generic and can be used directly by industry (as a “standalone”
standard) and serves as a basis for the development of sector standards (e.g. for
the machinery sector, the process sector the nuclear sector, etc.).
SIL
IEC 61508 details the design requirements for achieving the required Safety
Integrity Level (SIL).
The safety integrity requirements for each individual safety function may differ.
The safety function and SIL requirements are derived from the hazard analysis
and the risk assessment.
The higher the level of adapted safety integrity, the lower the likelihood of
dangerous failure of the SIS.
Safety Manager Safety Manual7
Page 24
1 – The Safety Manual
This standard also addresses the safety-related sensors and final elements
regardless of the technology used.
IEC 61511, the standard for the process industry
The IEC 61511 is called “Functional safety - Safety instrumented systems for the
process industry sector”.
This standard addresses the application of SISs for the process industries. It
requires a process hazard and risk assessment to be carried out, to enable the
specification for SISs to be derived. In this standard a SIS includes all
components and subsystems necessary to carry out the safety instrumented
function from sensor(s) to final element(s).
The standard is intended to lead to a high level of consistency in underlying
principles, terminology and information within the process industries. This
should have both safety and economic benefits.
It is strongly recommended that attention is paid to the IEC 61508 as the
IEC 61511 sits within the framework of IEC 61508.

System overview
Safety Manager is a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). The SIS can be used in a
number of different basic architectures (DMR, QMR) depending on the required
availability level.
The safety of Safety Manager is obtained through its specific design for these
applications. This design includes facilities for self-testing of all Safety Manager
modules through software and specialized hardware based on a failure mode
effect analysis (FMEA) for each module. Additional software diagnostic routines
are included to guarantee proper execution of the hardware. This approach can be
classified as software diversity. These features maintain the highest level of safety
operation of Safety Manager even in the single-channel configurations. By
placing these single-channel versions in parallel, one not only gets safety but also
availability: proven availability.
Safety Manager and Safety Station from Honeywell SMS provide the means to
guarantee optimal safety and availability. To achieve these goals, it is essential
that the system is operated and maintained by authorized and qualified staff. If it
is operated by unauthorized or unqualified persons, severe injuries or loss of
production could be the result. This Safety Manual covers the applications of
Safety Manager for Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) 1 to 3 in compliance with the
international standard IEC 61508.

This section explains the major EU standards that apply to Safety Manager.
These standards are:

Low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)page 18
Machine safety directive (89/392/EEC))page 18
CE marking
The CE mark (see Figure 2 on page 16) is a compliance symbol, which indicates
that a product meets the requirements of the EU directives that apply to that
product. CE (Conformité Européenne) marking is a legal requirement for selling
products in the European Union.
EU directives documentation is issued on the authority of the Council of the
European Union. It contains requirements and regulations for certain categories
of products or problem areas. The directives apply not only to member countries
of the European Union but also to the whole European Economic Area (EEA).
The European directives have the following key objectives:
•Free movement of goods within the EU/EEA geographical regions through
harmonization of standards and elimination of trade barriers.
•Safety of persons, their property and of animals.
•Protection of the environment.
For control products like Safety Manager, a number of EU directives apply.
Safety Manager is compliant with: the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Directive (89/336/EEC), the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC), Marine
Directive (96/98/EEC) and Machine Safety Directive (89/392/EEC). Some are
16Release 100.3
Figure 2 CE mark
Page 33
discussed in more detail below. An item of equipment may only display the CE
mark when the equipment satisfies all relevant directives.
EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
One of the EU directives Safety Manager complies with is the EMC directive, or
Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility as it is officially
called. It “applies to apparatus liable to cause electromagnetic disturbance or the
performance of which is liable to be affected by such disturbance” (Article 2).
The EMC directive defines protection requirements and inspection procedures
relating to electromagnetic compatibility for a wide range of electric and
electronic items.
Within the context of the EMC directive, ‘apparatus’ means all electrical and
electronic appliances together with equipment and installations containing
electrical and/or electronic components. ‘Electromagnetic disturbance’ means
any electromagnetic phenomenon which may degrade the performance of a
device, unit of equipment or system. An electromagnetic disturbance may be
electromagnetic noise, an unwanted signal or a change in the propagation medium
itself.
‘Electromagnetic compatibility’ is the ability of a device, unit of equipment or
system to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without
introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that
environment.
There are two sides to electromagnetic compatibility: emission and immunity.
These two essential requirements are set forth in Article 4, which states that an
apparatus must be constructed so that:
1. The generated electromagnetic disturbance does not exceed a level allowing
radio and telecommunications equipment and other apparatus to operate as
intended.
2. The apparatus has an adequate level of intrinsic immunity of electromagnetic
disturbance to enable it to operate as intended.
The EMC directive was originally published in the Official Journal of the
European Communities on May 23, 1989. As of January 1, 1996 compliance with
the EMC directive is mandatory (a legal requirement). All electronic products
may now only be marketed in the European Union if they meet the requirements
laid down in the EMC directive. This also applies to Safety Manager cabinets.

2 – Introduction
Low voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
Safety Manager also complies with the low voltage directive, or Council
Directive 73/23/EEC of 19 February 1973 on the harmonization of the laws of the
Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain
voltage limits as it is officially called. It states that “electrical equipment may be
placed on the market only if, having been constructed in accordance with good
engineering practice in safety matters in force in the Community, it does not
endanger the safety of persons, domestic animals or property when properly
installed and maintained and used in applications for which it was made” (Article
2).
The low voltage directive defines a number of principal safety objectives that
electrical equipment must meet in order to be considered “safe”.
Within the context of the low voltage directive, ‘electrical equipment’ means any
equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1,000 V for
alternating current (AC) and between 75 and 1,500 V for direct current (DC).
The low voltage directive was originally published in the Official Journal of the
European Communities on March 26, 1973. It was amended by Council Directive
93/68/EEC. As of January 1, 1997 compliance with the low voltage directive is
mandatory (a legal requirement). All electronic products may now only be
marketed in the European Union if they meet the requirements laid down in the
low voltage directive. This also applies to Safety Manager cabinets.
Machine safety directive (89/392/EEC))
The directive holds the requirements for machinery safety in every country within
the European Economic Area (EEA). The Directive applies to all machinery and
to safety components. A machine is defined as “an assembly of linked parts or
components, at least one of which moves…”
Machinery meeting the requirements of the Directive is required to have the CE
symbol clearly affixed to indicate compliance. An item of equipment may only
display the CE mark when the equipment satisfies all relevant directives.
The Directive requires the machines manufacturer to produce a Technical File
containing documentary evidence that the machinery complies with the directive.
The Directive also effectively allows a period of grace in which the file can be
assembled after it has been requested by the authorities.
The Directive gives a comprehensive list of the potential hazards (annex I) which
may arise from the design and operation of machinery, and gives general

in a series of safety standards.

EU Standards
Because so many standards are required to cover the full range of machines
within the scope of the Directive, the European standards bodies devised a
hierarchy which can be applied in every situation:
•‘Type A’ are the most basic standards set out the requirements for the safety of
machines only in the most general terms: part 2 of EN292 is essentially a
reproduction of annex 1 of the Machinery Directive.
•‘Type B’ standards deal with more specific issues: design of emergency stops
(EN418); prevention of unexpected start-up (EN1037); pneumatic systems
(EN983); temperature of touchable surfaces (EN563) and many others.
•‘Type C’ standards deal with specific classes of machinery: for example,
EN1012 deals with safety of compressors and vacuum pumps; EN 792 deals
with pneumatic hand tools.

Definitions
Dangerous failure
Error
This section provides a list of essential safety terms that apply to Safety Manager.
All definitions have been taken from IEC 61508-4, published in 2000.
Failure which has the potential to put the safety-related system in a hazardous or
fail-to-function state.
Note
Whether or not the potential is realized may depend on the channel architecture of the
system; in systems with multiple channels to improve safety, a dangerous hardware
failure is less likely to lead to the overall dangerous or fail-to-function state.
Discrepancy between a computed, observed or measured value or condition and
the true, specified or theoretically correct value or condition.
EUC risk
Failure
Risk arising from the EUC or its interaction with the EUC control system.
The termination of the ability of a functional unit to perform a required function.
Note
• The definition in IEV 191-04-01 is the same, with additional notes.
• See Figure 3 on page 21 for the relationship between faults and failures, both in
IEC 61508 and IEV 191.
• Performance of required functions necessarily excludes certain behavior, and some
functions may be specified in terms of behavior to be avoided. The occurrence of such
behavior is a failure.
• Failures are either random (in hardware) or systematic (in hardware or software).
20Release 100.3
Page 37
Fault
Functional safety
Definitions
Abnormal condition that may cause a reduction in, or loss of, the capability of a
functional unit to perform a required function.
Note
IEV 191-05-01 defines “fault” as a state characterized by the inability to perform a
required function, excluding the inability during preventative maintenance or other
planned actions, or due to lack of external resources.
Part of the overall safety relating to the EUC and the EUC control system which
depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PE safety-related systems, other
technology safety-related systems and external risk reduction facilities.

2 – Introduction
Notes for Figure 3 on page 21
• As shown in A), a functional unit can be viewed as a hierarchical composition of
multiple levels, each of which can in turn be called a functional unit. In level (i), a
“cause” may manifest itself as an error (a deviation from the correct value or state)
within this level (i) functional unit, and, if not corrected or circumvented, may cause a
failure of this functional unit, as a result of which it falls into an “F” state where it is no
longer able to perform a required function (see B)). This “F” state of the level (i)
functional unit may in turn manifest itself as an error in the level (i-1) functional unit
and, if not corrected or circumvented, may cause a failure of this level (i-1) functional
unit.
• In this cause and effect chain the same thing (“Entity X”) can be viewed as a state (“F”
state) of the level (i) functional unit into which it has fallen as a result of its failure, and
also as the cause of the level (i-1) functional unit. This “Entity X” combines the
concept of “fault” in IEC 61508 and ISO/IEC 2382-14, which emphasizes its cause
aspect as illustrated in C), and that of “fault” in IEC 50(191), which emphasizes its
state aspect as illustrated in D). The “F” state is called fault in IEC 50(191), whereas it
is not defined in IEC 61508 and ISO/IEC 2382-14.
• In some cases, a failure may be caused by an external event such as lightning or
electrostatic noise, rather than by an internal fault. Likewise, a fault (in both
vocabularies) may exist without a prior failure. An example of such a fault is a design
fault.
Functional safety assessment
Investigation, based on evidence, to judge the functional safety achieved by one
or more E/E/PE safety-related systems, other technology safety-related systems
or external risk reduction facilities.
Human error
Mistake.
Human action or inaction that produces an unintended result.
Hardware safety integrity
Part of the safety integrity of the safety related systems relating to random
hardware failures in a dangerous mode of failure.
Note
The term relates to failures in a dangerous mode. That is, those failures of a safety-related
system that would impair its safety integrity. The two parameters that are relevant in this
context are the overall dangerous failure rate and the probability of failure to operate on
demand. The former reliability parameter is used when it is necessary to maintain
continuous control in order to maintain safety, the latter reliability parameter is used in the
context of safety-related protection systems.
22Release 100.3
Page 39
Mode of operation
Way in which a safety-related system is intended to be used, with respect to the
frequency of demands made upon it in relation to the proof check frequency,
which may be either:
•Low demand mode - where the frequency of demands for operation made on
a safety-related system is not significantly greater than the proof check
frequency; or
•High demand or continuous mode - where the frequency of demands for
operation made on a safety-related system is significantly greater than the
proof check frequency.
Note
Typically for low demand mode, the frequency of demands on the safety-related system is
the same order of magnitude as the proof test frequency (i.e. months to years where the
proof test interval is a year). While typically for high demand or continuous mode, the
frequency of demands on the safety-related system is hundreds of times the proof test
frequency (i.e. minutes to hours where the proof test interval is a month).
Programmable electronic system (PES)
System for control, protection or monitoring based on one or more programmable
electronic devices, including all elements of the system such as power supplies,
sensors and other input devices, data highways and other communication paths,
and actuators and other output devices (see Figure 4 on page 24).
Definitions
Note
The structure of a PES is shown in Programmable electronic system (PES): structure and
terminology A). Programmable electronic system (PES): structure and terminology B)
illustrates the way in which a PES is represented in IEC 61508, with the programmable
electronics shown as a unit distinct from sensors and actuators on the EUC and their
interfaces, but the programmable electronics could exist at several places in the PES.
Programmable electronic system (PES): structure and terminology C) illustrates a PES
with two discrete units of programmable electronics. Programmable electronic system
(PES): structure and terminology D) illustrates a PES with dual programmable electronics
(i.e. two channel), but with a single sensor and a single actuator.

Note
Whether or not the potential is realized may depend on the channel architecture of the
system; in systems with multiple channels to improve safety, a safe hardware failure is
less likely to result in an erroneous shutdown.

2 – Introduction
Note
1. The parameter in Safety integrity levels: target failure measures for a safety function,
allocated to the E/E/PE Safety Related System operating in high demand or continuous
mode of operation, probability of a dangerous failure per hour, is sometimes referred
to as the frequency of dangerous failures, or dangerous failure rate, in units of
dangerous failures per hour.
2. This document sets a lower limit on the target failure measures, in a dangerous mode
of failure, than can be claimed. These are specified as the lower limits for safety
integrity level 4 (that is an average probability of failure of 10
function on demand, or a probability of a dangerous failure of 10
possible to achieve designs of safety-related systems with lower values for the target
failure measures for non-complex systems, but it is considered that the figures in the
table represent the limit of what can be achieved for relatively complex systems (for
example programmable electronic safety-related systems) at the present time.
3. The target failure measures that can be claimed when two or more E/E/PE
safety-related systems are used may be better than those indicated in Safety integrity
levels: target failure measures for a safety function, allocated to the E/E/PE Safety
Related System operating in low demand mode of operation and Safety integrity
levels: target failure measures for a safety function, allocated to the E/E/PE Safety
Related System operating in high demand or continuous mode of operation providing
that adequate levels of independence are achieved.
4. It is important to note that the failure measures for safety integrity levels 1, 2, 3 and 4
are target failure measures. It is accepted that only with respect to the hardware safety
integrity will it be possible to quantify and apply reliability prediction techniques in
assessing whether the target failure measures have been met. Qualitative techniques
and judgements have to be made with respect to the precautions necessary to meet the
target failure measures with respect to the systematic safety integrity.
5. The safety integrity requirements for each safety function shall be qualified to indicate
whether each target safety integrity parameter is either:
• the average probability of failure to perform its design function on demand (for a low
demand mode of operation); or
• the probability of a dangerous failure per hour (for a high demand or continuous mode
of operation).

Safety life cycle
Necessary activities involved in the implementation of safety-related systems,
occurring during a period of time that starts at the concept phase of a project and
finishes when all of the E/E/PE safety-related systems, other technology
safety-related systems and external risk reduction facilities are no longer
available for use.
Safety-related system
Designated system that both:
•implements the required safety functions necessary to achieve or maintain a
safe state for the EUC, and
26Release 100.3
Page 43
Definitions
•is intended to achieve, on its own or with other E/E/PE safety-related systems,
other technology safety-related systems or external risk reduction facilities,
the necessary safety integrity for the required safety functions.
Note
1. The term refers to those systems, designated as safety-related systems, that are
intended to achieve, together with the external risk reduction facilities, the necessary
risk reduction in order to meet the required tolerable risk.
2. The safety-related systems are designed to prevent the EUC from going into a
dangerous state by taking appropriate action on receipt of commands. The failure of a
safety-related system would be included in the events leading to the identified hazard
or hazards. Although there may be other systems having safety functions, it is the
safety-related systems that have been designated to achieve, in their own right, the
required tolerable risk. Safety-related systems can broadly be divided into
safety-related control systems and safety-related protection systems, and have two
modes of operation.
3. Safety-related systems may be an integral part of the EUC control system or may
interface with the EUC by sensors and/or actuators. That is, the required safety
integrity level may be achieved by implementing the safety functions in the EUC
control system (and possibly by additional separate and independent systems as well)
or the safety functions may be implemented by separate and independent systems
dedicated to safety.
4. A safety-related system may:
• be designed to prevent the hazardous event (that is if the safety-related systems
perform their safety functions then no hazard arises). The key factor here is the
ensuring that the safety-related systems perform their functions with the degree of
certainty required (for example, for the specified functions, that the average
probability of failure should not be greater than 10
demand).
• be designed to mitigate the effects of the hazardous event, thereby reducing the risk by
reducing the consequences. As for the first item in this list, the probability of failure on
demand for the specified functions (or other appropriate statistical measure) should be
met.
• be designed to achieve a combination of both kinds of systems.
5. A person can be part of a safety-related system. For example, a person could receive
information from a programmable electronic device and perform a safety task based
on this information, or perform a safety task through a programmable electronic
device.
6. The term includes all the hardware, software and supporting services (for example
power supplies) necessary to carry out the specified safety function (sensors, other
input devices, final elements (actuators) and other output devices are therefore
included in the safety-related system).
7. A safety-related system may be based on a wide range of technologies including
electrical, electronic, programmable electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic.

Systematic safety integrity
Part of the safety integrity of safety-related systems relating to systematic failures
in a dangerous mode of failure.

Systematic safety integrity cannot usually be quantified (as distinct from hardware safety
integrity which usually can).

particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled.

All Safety Manager architectures can be used for safety applications. The

Dual Modular Redundant (DMR) architecture
Typical applications of a DMR architecture are:
•Burner Management System
•Batch processing
•Machine safety
The Dual Modular Redundant (DMR) architecture provides 1oo2 voting in a
non-redundant system. The DMR architecture with 1oo2 voting is based on
dual-processor technology, and is characterized by a high level of self tests,
diagnostics and fault tolerance.
The DMR architecture is realized with a non-redundant Controller. A
non-redundant architecture contains only one QPP (see Figure 5 on page 31),
which contains a redundant processor with 1oo2 voting between the processors
and memory.

The Quadruple Modular Redundant (QMR) architecture is based on 2oo4D
voting, dual-processor technology in each QPP. This means that it is characterized
by a ultimate level of self diagnostics and fault tolerance.
The QMR architecture is realized with a redundant Controller. This redundant
architecture contains two QPPs (see Figure 6 on page 32), which results in
quadruple redundancy making it dual fault tolerant for safety.
The 2oo4D voting is realized by combining 1oo2 voting of both CPUs and
memory in each QPP, and 1oo2D voting between the two QPPs. Voting takes
place on two levels: on a module level and between the QPPs.

System architectures
Non-redundant Controller and non-redundant IO
This Safety Manager architecture has a non-redundant Controller and
non-redundant input and output (IO) modules (see Figure 8 on page 33 and Figure
7 on page 33).
The IO modules are controlled via the IO bus drivers (located in the QPP) and the
IO Bus, which can control up to 8 IO chassis per cabinet. Each IO chassis is
controlled via the IO Extender. There is no redundancy except for those modules
with built-in redundancy (QPP, memory and watchdog).
This Safety Manager architecture has a redundant Controller and non-redundant
input and output (IO) modules (see Figure 10 on page 34 and Figure 9 on
page 34).
The IO modules are controlled via the IO bus drivers (located in the QPP) and the
IO Bus, which can control up to 8 IO chassis per cabinet. Each IO chassis is
controlled via the IO Extender.
This architecture can be applied up to SIL3.

Interaction between Control Processors
Both Control Processors run in parallel, meaning that they simultaneously read
input states and write output states. Via the redundant link both Control
Processors continuously inform each other about the achieved IO states,
application states. The redundant link is used to synchronize actions and compare
results. For more information see “Quadruple Modular Redundant (QMR)
architecture” on page 31.
A redundant Controller is single fault tolerant with respect to availability.
This Safety Manager architecture has a redundant Controller and redundant input
and output (IO) modules (OR function outputs) (see Figure 12 on page 36 and
Figure 11 on page 36).
The IO modules are controlled via the IO bus drivers (located in the QPP) and the
IO Bus, which can control up to 8 IO chassis per cabinet. Each IO chassis is
controlled via the IO Extender. The processor and IO are fully redundant, which
allows continuous operation and smooth (zero-delay) transfer of the control in
case of a Control Processor or IO failure.
This architecture can be applied up to SIL3.
Interaction between Control Processors
Both Control Processors run in parallel, meaning that they simultaneously read
input states and write output states. Via the redundant link both Control
Processors continuously inform each other about the achieved IO states,
application states. The redundant link is used to synchronize actions and compare
results. For more information see “Quadruple Modular Redundant (QMR)
architecture” on page 31.
Interaction between redundant IO
Both IO modules reside next to each other in the same IO chassis. On the
backplane they are wired parallel.
•In principle, when a fault is detected in an input channel, this channel is
deactivated by its corresponding Control Processor. The correct value is
obtained from the IO module connected to the other Control Processor via the
redundant internal link before the application cycle is started.
•In principle, when a fault is detected in an output channel, this channel is
de-energized by the SMOD (see “Secondary means” on page 25 for details).
The correct value is driven into the field by the other Control Processor, but
not after both Control Processors have agreed on its value via the redundant
internal link.
For more information see “Fault detection and response” on page 23.
Redundant Controller with redundant and non-redundant IO
This Safety Manager architecture has a redundant Controller and redundant input
and output (IO) modules (OR function outputs) combined with non-redundant
input and output modules (see Figure 13 on page 37 and Figure 14 on page 38).
This architecture can be applied up to SIL3.
This architecture is a mix of the described:

Overall safety life cycle
To deal in a systematic manner with all the activities necessary to achieve the
required safety integrity level for the E/E/PE safety-related systems, an overall
safety life cycle is adopted as the technical framework (as defined in IEC 61508)
(see Figure 15 on page 39).

Note
• Activities relating to verification, management of functional safety and functional
safety assessment are not shown for reasons of clarity. These activities are relevant to
all overall, E/E/PES and software safety life cycle phases.
• The phases represented by boxes 10 and 11 are outside the scope of this standard.
• Parts 2 and 3 deal with box 9 (realization) but they also deal, where relevant, with the
programmable electronic (hardware and software) aspects of boxes 13, 14 and 15.
The overall safety life cycle encompasses the following risk reduction measures:
•E/E/PE safety-related systems
•Other technology safety-related systems
•External risk reduction facilities
The portion of the overall safety life cycle dealing with E/E/PE safety-related
systems is expanded and shown in Figure 16 on page 40. The software safety life
cycle is shown in Figure 17 on page 41. The relationship of the overall safety life
cycle to the E/E/PES and software safety life cycles for safety-related systems is
shown in Figure 18 on page 41.

Sequence of phases
The overall safety life cycle should be used as a basis. The most important item
with respect to Safety Manager is the sequence of phases for the works to be done
and the decisions to be taken.
The safety-related system connects to the process units, the control system and
the operator interface. Consequently, the specification of the safety-related
system is made late in the project. However, the first system that is required
during start-up and commissioning is the safety system to ensure the safe
commissioning of the process unit. The result is always a very tight schedule for
the detailed design and production of the safety-related system.

Self documenting
This requires a flexible safety system that can be easily and quickly engineered
and modified without sacrificing or neglecting the safety aspects;
self documenting is therefore a prerequisite.
Safety Manager can be programmed during manufacturing and modified on site
through the specification of the safety function (the functional logic diagrams or
FLDs). The application program and up-to-date application documentation are
generated automatically and almost immediately available.
For details about the design phases with regard to Safety Manager see “Design
and implementation phases of Safety Manager” on page 53.

Specifying the safety integrity level of the process
The overall safety requirements of the safety related system have to be specified
according to step 4 of Table 5 on page 42.
Each production process must be classified with regard to safety. Each company
shall therefore have competent personnel to conduct SIL classifications. If not
available, third party safety consultancy is to be hired.
In Germany for example the government (law) has delegated the approval of both
the SIL classification as well as the SIL verification to the TUV.
46Release 100.3
Page 63
Specifying the field instrumentation
The field instruments related to the safety-related system consist of valves, limit
switches, high-level and low-level pressure switches, temperature switches, flow
switches, manual switches, etc. Inputs used for safety applications can be analog
or digital. Outputs are mainly digital.
The instrumentation index generally contains:
•Tag number of the instrument
•Description of the process Point
•Make of the instrument
•Supplier
•Setting
Connections to the safety-related system
The connection to the safety system is specified in the form of a tag number with
a description and termination details. The description provides additional
information on the tag number and very often includes information on the signal's
“health situation” (status).
Following characteristics are to be supported in the IO signal database of a safety
system. Table 6 on page 48 shows an extract of the Safety Manager database:
•Safety Related
Indicates whether a signal is to be treated as safety related or not.
•Force enable
Allows forcing of signals (only if certain conditions are met). E.g. for
simulation, troubleshooting, maintenance and start-up purposes.
•Write enable
Allows overwriting of communication signals. E.g. to manually change
setpoints and flags that are normally controlled by a DCS.

Determining the signal parameters
The first phase of a safety-related system safety requirements specification is the
inventory of the input and output signals, the process interface.
During the specification stage, certain parameters of the IO signal must be
determined by the design engineer. For example parameters like the type of signal
(digital or analog), safety settings (safety related, force enable etc.), SER enable,
scaling, etc.
The setting of the IO parameters determine how Safety Manager treats the inputs
and the outputs. This way the design engineer loads the required signal settings,
and access restrictions, of each Point in Safety Manager.
48Release 100.3
Page 65
Specifying the safety-related system functions
Specifying the safety-related system functions
The safety functionality of the safety-related system has to be specified according
to steps 4 and 5 of Table 5 on page 42:
•Overall safety requirements
•Safety requirements allocation
The basic function of the safety system is to control the outputs (process)
according to the predefined logic sequence based on the current state of the
process received via the inputs.
The input and output signals of a safety system are a mixture of digital and analog
signals. For digital signals, the relation between input and output can be
established with various logical functions such as AND, OR and NOT. This is
also possible with analog signals when they have been compared with a defined
setpoint. To allow certain process conditions to occur or to continue, the safety
system requires timing functions (for example delayed on, delayed off, pulse). In
Safety Manager, these basic functions have been extended with functionality that
allows more complex functions such as counters, calculations, communication,
etc.
For management purposes a communication link to a supervisory control system
may be required. This needs to be specified in this phase of the overall design.
The relations between inputs and outputs have to be chosen so that:
•The process stays in the predefined “operational safe status” during healthy
conditions of the input signals.
•The process is directed to a predefined “non-operational safe status” if an
unhealthy process or system condition is detected (either automatically or by
manual intervention).
The relations between inputs and outputs are determined via functional logic
diagrams (FLDs, see Figure 19 on page 50). The functional logic diagrams are
created with the Application Editor of the Safety Builder.

Page 66

Figure 19 Example of Functional Logic Diagram (FLD)
50Release 100.3
Page 67
Approval of the specification
The last step is to validate the safety functionality according to steps 4 and 5 of
Table 5 on page 42.
This is done by step 7 of Table 5 on page 42:
•Overall safety planning validation
The approved specification is the basis of the design of the safety system. Since
the time for the specification preparation is generally too short and since the
safety system influences all process units, a large number of revisions (function
and termination details) of the specification may be required.
The phases as described in subsections “Specifying the safety integrity level of
the process” on page 46 to “Specifying the safety-related system functions” on
page 49 are usually performed by the customer or an engineering consultant
acting on behalf of the customer. The phases that follow are normally performed
by the supplier of the safety system (for example Honeywell SMS for Safety
Manager).

Safety Manager project configuration
Safety Builder
To translate the process related safety aspects into a Safety Manager application,
the design engineer uses the Safety Builder toolset.
Safety Builder provides a Windows-based user interface to Safety Manager (see
Figure 20 on page 54). It is a powerful tool which supports the user in performing
a number of design and maintenance tasks. Safety Builder must be used to:
•Configure the network
•Configure Safety Manager
•Design the application program
•Generate application documentation
•Monitor Safety Manager

Point list
Safety Manager project configuration
The specification of the IO Points with IO parameters, such as description,
hardware configuration, etc. is stored in a Point list as shown in Figure 21 on
page 55.
Figure 21 Safety Builder Point Configurator main screen
The Point list is the basis of the design of the functionality of the safety system by
creating functional logic diagrams (FLDs). The use of a Point list containing
information on the IO signals has the advantage that basic information only needs
to be updated once.
Creating the Point list with aid of the Point Configurator provides:
•A single point of entry for all Point data
•Consistency of throughout the engineering stage
•Automatically updated documentation.
Safety Manager Safety Manual55
Page 72
5 – Design and implementation phases of Safety Manager
Functional logic diagrams (FLDs)
The functional logic diagrams (FLDs) define the relationship between the inputs
and the outputs of a safety system (see Figure 22 on page 56). The information
entered in the Point list is added automatically in the functional logic diagrams.
The Safety Builder also checks the consistency of the information if the engineer
uses Points that have not been allocated to inputs and outputs.

Safety Manager configuration parameters
Safety Manager configuration parameters
General
The first step in the Safety Manager configuration is to determine the Safety
Manager properties.
The most important properties are:
•Safety integrity level
•Safety Manager architecture
•Diagnostic Test Interval
•Interval time between faults
These properties are described in more detail below.
Safety integrity level
This parameter specifies the level of safety performance of the overall system.
Safety Manager supports safety integrity level 1 (SIL1) which is the lowest level
of safety integrity through safety integrity level 3 (SIL3) as the highest level. IEC
61508 details the requirements necessary to achieve each safety integrity level.
These requirements are more rigorous at higher levels of safety integrity to
achieve the required lower likelihood of dangerous failure.
The system safety level can also be expressed in safety requirement classes. DIN
V 19250 defines these requirement classes (Anforderungsklassen, or AK). Safety
Manager supports AK1 which is the lowest requirement class (low safety level)
through AK6 as the highest requirement class (high safety level). Table 7 on
page 57 shows the relation between the safety integrity levels and requirement
classes.
5 – Design and implementation phases of Safety Manager
Diagnostic Test Interval
The Diagnostic Test Interval (DTI) is the time a fault may be present in a safety
system, without possibly endangering an installation or environment. Therefore it
specifies the period in which all self-tests are to be executed within Safety
Manager.
Maximum repair time
During normal operation, each Control Processor of Safety Manager performs
self-tests and tests the allocated IO modules. If a fault is detected during the tests,
the Control Processor reports the failure and takes action to guarantee a safe
operational state.
If possible, the fault will be isolated and Control Processor operation continues. If
the continuation of the Safe operation cannot be guaranteed, the Control
Processor stops. Certain failure types can be isolated, but safe operation can then
only be guaranteed as long as no additional faults occur, which, in correlation
with the first failure, may lead to unsafe operation. Therefore, when continuing
operation, there is a certain risk of such an additional correlating fault occurring.
The longer Safety Manager operates, the larger this risk becomes. To keep the risk
within acceptable limits, a time interval must be defined: the maximum repair
time, which reflects the maximum period of time the Control Processor is allowed
to operate after the first failure occurrence. When the maximum repair time
expires, the Control Processor shuts down.
The maximum repair time can be defined between 0 and 2047 hours, or can be
completely deactivated. In the latter case, organizational measures must be
defined to ensure correct action on Safety Manager failure reports.

Specification of input and output signals
Specification of input and output signals
Safety
Safety Builder provides an extensive safety guidance to ensure that correct
engineering decisions are taken. Safety Builder assists with allocating IO signals
in a safety system. For example, the Point Configurator does not allow multiple
allocation or the connection of safety-related signals to modules that do not have
self-diagnostic capabilities.
Input/output signals
The specification of input and output signals is partly done during the
specification stage. The data entered in that stage does not contain any
information on the physical “chassis/slot/channel” allocation of the IO signal in
the safety system.
The Point Configurator of Safety Builder can show Point information of IO
signals. To simplify editing and viewing Points, the Point Configurator offers
standard and custom views. For detailed information refer to Software Reference.
Physical allocation
The physical allocation of Points in Safety Manager should be chosen based on a
number of criteria including:
•Subsystems
•Process units
•Location in the plant
•Type of signal
•Engineering preference
Safety Manager Safety Manual59
Page 76
5 – Design and implementation phases of Safety Manager
Implementation of the application software
When the application is built using Safety Builder, the combination of
configuration data, Functional Logic Diagrams and Point information can be
translated into machine code, which is to be loaded in the SM Controller.
Translate
Translation of the application into machine code is consists of the following steps:
1 The Application Compiler of Safety Builder checks for inconsistencies
between:
a. System configuration
b. IO Point database and
c. Functional Logic Diagrams (FLD’s)
2 Possible errors and warnings are displayed in a log file, which are available
and can be printed for future reference.
3 If the application proves to be consistent the Application Compiler then
generates the machine code and stores it on hard disk.
Implementation
After the machine code is created, the Controller Management tool is used to load
the machine code into the flash memory of the SM Controller (QPP and COM
modules). This method does not require any modules to be removed from the
chassis.

Application verification
Introduction
Throughout the application design, several verification steps must be performed
to guarantee the actual application software in Safety Manager meets the safety
requirements of the process.
IO signal configuration
The Print option of Safety Builder allows the user to create hard copies of the IO
signal configuration as stored in the application database.
The hardcopy must be reviewed to verify that the signal configuration represents
the originally defined configuration.
This review may be concentrated on the safety-related configuration aspects, such
as the Point qualification, the fault reaction, force enable, hardware allocation and
power-on values.
This activity covers the following aspects:
•Data entry by the design engineer.
•System response conform settings in the Hardware Configurator and Point
Configurator of Safety Builder.
•Operation of the Safety Station.
Depending on local legislation, the IO signal configuration may need to be
approved by an independent certification body, for example TUV.
Application verification
Functional logic diagrams (FLDs)
The Print option of Safety Builder also allows the user to create hard copies of the
functional logic diagrams as stored in the application database. The hardcopy
must be reviewed to verify that the functional logic diagrams represent the
intended safeguarding strategy.
This activity covers the following aspects:
•Data entry by the design engineer.
•Operation of the Application Editor of Safety Builder.
Depending on local legislation, the functional logic diagrams may need to be
approved by an independent certification body, for example TUV.
Safety Manager Safety Manual61
Page 78
5 – Design and implementation phases of Safety Manager
Application software
After the application has been successfully translated and the application software
has been downloaded to Safety Manager, the correct operation of the application
must be verified via a functional test which is carried out during the Factory
Acceptance Test (FAT) and/or the start-up and commissioning stages.
The customer then verifies if the original requirements have been correctly
implemented in the IO signal configuration, the system configuration and the
functional logical diagrams.
Functional test
Functional testing is done via the Application Viewer and a switch box.
Via the switch box, connected to the systems’ inputs, the assessor can control the
state of each input.
In the Application Viewer the assessor can verify the inputs and application
response.
Verify load diagnostics
The Safety Manager File is stored in the SM Controller with the Controller
Management function of Safety Builder. After storing, Controller Management
reads the diagnostics and checks if the file is correctly stored.
Additionally, an Acceptance Test must be performed. During the Acceptance Test
the IO allocation, safety application and communication are tested. This is
required to comply with the safety requirements.

Forcing of IO signals
Stop:
Forcing Points can be dangerous if not handled properly! Always communicate your
actions when applying or removing forces.
During FAT, on-line testing or calibration of connected devices, it may be
required to force an IO Point to a certain fixed state.
For example when testing a defective input sensor forcing allows the sensor to be
taken off-line without affecting the continuity of production. While the sensor is
being tested, the respective input can be forced to its operational state.
Enable forcing
The procedure to enable forcing of a Point in Safety Manager is as follows:
1 Identify the Points that may require forcing during operation and use the Point
Configurator to set the force enable flag of thesePoints to ‘Yes’.
2 Translate the application, load it into the system and start the application
Applying forces
Warning
Applying forces for a prolonged period of time introduces a potentially dangerous
situation as the corresponding process Point could go to the unsafe state while the force is
active.
The procedure to apply a force is as follows (see also Figure 23 on page 64):

2 Open the Application Viewer with a maintenance engineering user level or
above (may be password protected)
3 Select the first Point to be forced
4 Right click the Point and select a force option from the pop-up menu.
IO signals can only be forced using the Application Viewer of Safety Builder.
Forcing is only allowed if the correct password has been entered when selecting
the force option. The status of the force enable flag is also stored in the
application in Safety Manager. This has been done in such a way that a change of
the force enable flag after compilation of the application does not allow forcing of
the corresponding Point without reloading the application software.
Forces may be set high, low or on a specific value as required. The procedure of
how to use forcing is as follows:
1 Activate the Force Enable key switch on the BKM after approval by the
responsible maintenance manager.
2 Use Application Viewer of Safety Builder to select the Point that needs to be
forced. (A password may be required.)
3 Right click the Point and select the value that the Point should be forced to.
4 The force will be applied immediately.
Checks
Notes
• All forces are cleared when the Force Enable key switch is deactivated.
• All force actions are included in the SER report for review/historical purposes.
To make this operation single fault tolerant, both the Safety Builder and the
SM Controller carry out checks before a force is executed:
1. Safety Builder checks if the password is activated.
2. Safety Builder checks if the Force Enable key switch is activated.
3. Safety Builder checks if the force enable flag for the Point is set to 'Yes'.
4. SM Controller checks if the Force Enable key switch is activated.
5. SM Controller checks if the force enable flag in the application is set to
‘Yes’.
Safety Manager continuously checks the Force Enable key switch and
immediately clears all forces when the Force Enable key switch is deactivated.
Safety Manager Safety Manual65
Page 82
6 – Safety Manager special functions
Forced Points
If a force command is accepted for an input or output, the ‘ForceActive’
system Point becomes active, which can be used as an alarm/indication for
operation (see also: “Safety Manager alarm markers, registers and diagnostic
inputs” on page 80).
On any subsequent force, the ‘ForceActive’ marker pulses for one application
cycle. When all forces are cleared, ‘ForceActive’ becomes inactive.
References
Specific TUV requirements with the regard to forcing are described in a
document of TUV Bayern Sachsen e.V. and TUV Rheinland: Maintenance
override.
Tip
This document is available on request. Please contact your local Honeywell affiliate or
e-mail to sms-info@honeywell.com.
All Safety Manager architectures meet the requirements specified in this
document.
Clearing forces
Attention:
To immediately remove all forces:
turn the Force Enable key switch or
a.
b. click the Remove All Forces button on the Application Viewer tool bar.
Warning:
This action is irreversible.
To remove forces set in Safety Manager, select the forced Point as described in
“Setting” on page 65, step 2 onwards.
Instead of selecting a force value, select ‘Clear’. This will clear the force
instead of applying a forced value.

Communication with third party Control systems
Communication with third party Control systems
Exchanging process data
Safety Manager can be used to exchange process data with a process control
system or PC acting as a man machine interface (e.g. Safety Builder). Such data is
represented in functional logic diagrams (FLDs) as Points with location 'COM'.
Points with location 'COM' may only be used for non safety-related functions.
The Point Configurator of Safety Builder sets the safety-relation flag of these
signals to 'No' (FALSE) and does not allow this flag to be changed.
The safety-relation flag of the Points can be checked with a list which can be
printed with Safety Builder. Table 8 on page 67 shows an example of such an
input signal specification.

On-line modification
Tip:
Detailed information about On-line modification can be found in On-line Modification
Guide
Introduction
On-line modification (OLM) is a Safety Manager option which allows you to
modify the application software, embedded system software and the Safety
Manager hardware configuration of systems with a redundant Controller while
the system remains operational.
During the on-line modification, the changes are implemented in the Control
Processors one by one. While one Control Processor is being modified, the other
Control Processor continues safeguarding the process.
The engineer executing the OLM is guided through the OLM procedure step by
step by the Controller Management tool which is integrated in the Safety Builder.
Compatibility check
During the modification, Safety Manager and the Controller Management tool of
the Safety Builder perform a compatibility check of the application-related data,
to guarantee a safe changeover from the existing configuration to the new
configuration. The system reports the FLD numbers of the changed functional
logic diagrams. This allows easy verification of the implemented modifications.
With the Controller Management, changes in the functional logic diagrams
(FLDs), the Safety Manager architecture and the system software can be
implemented in the system, step by step, without shutting down the system.
For details refer to:
•Planning and Design Guide
•On-line Modification Guide.
When modifications are implemented in a application, only a functional logic test
of the modified functions is required by, for example, TUV, when the final
verification of the implemented changes is obtained via the built-in sheet
difference report in Controller Management diagnostics.

Safety Manager fault detection
and response
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is responsible for maintaining the safety of a
process or Equipment Under Control (EUC), regardless the state of the system.
Should a fault arise in the SIS, it must deal with this fault in a safe way within the
defined Diagnostic Test Interval (DTI).
A Safety Instrumented System operating in Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3)
complies if it can detect and safely isolate any single fault within the defined DTI,
without affecting the process safety.
This section describes:
•Principles of fault detection and response
•Diagnostic inputs and alarm markers,
•Safety Manager faults,
•Safety Manager response to faults,
•Rules of thumb.

that affects the safety of the process under control, within a time frame that is
acceptable for the process.
Below topics describe the principle of fault detection and response.

Definitions
In order to better understand the concept of fault detection and response a number
of related definitions are stated below.

Fault reaction
The response to faults in the Controller, application and/or IO.
•The fault reaction towards Controller and/or application faults is fixed.
•The fault reaction towards IO faults can be configured on a module level and
should be customized to the application for which Safety Manager is used.
Process safety time (PST)
The time a process can be left running uncontrolled without loosing the ability to
regain control.
Diagnostic Test Interval (DTI)
The time period used by Safety Manager to cyclically locate and isolate safety
related faults within on-line system components that could otherwise cause a
hazardous situation.
With Safety Manager, the default DTI is set at 3 seconds. This setting needs to be
verified for each process.

is introduced to extend the SIS up-time for a limited time frame, allowing system
repair.
A configurable count-down timer triggered upon detection of a fault that
minimizes the safety availability of the system.
The timer is a configurable count-down timer, which can be deactivated. The
default repair window is 200 hours, which is more than sufficient if spare parts
are available.
Each Control Processor has its own repair timer. Once running, a repair timer
shows the remaining time to repair the fault that triggered the repair timer in the
Control Processor (200 hours default). If the fault is not repaired within the repair
time the Control Processor containing the fault halts.
A repair timer protects the system from certain fault accumulations that may
affect the safety of Safety Manager. The timer therefore only starts on detection
of faults on output modules and the Force Enable key switch.
Safe
A design property of an item in which the specified failure mode is predominantly
in a safe direction.
Safety related
A flag to indicate that a signal is used for a safety related function.
Secondary Means
A means designed to drive towards a safe state in case the primary means is
unable or unreliable to do so.
An example of a secondary means is the watchdog: The watchdog is designed to
drive the Control Processor and related outputs to a safe state if the Control
Processor itself is unable or unreliable to do so.
Secondary Means Of De-energization (SMOD)
A SMOD is a Secondary Means designed to de-energize the output in case the
primary means is unable or unreliable to do so.
Figure 24 on page 72 shows an example of a SMOD protecting 4 output channels.

Control Processor states
A Control Processor (CP) can have many states. For fault detection and response
only the following states are relevant.
•running without detected faults; CP is fully functional and runs the application
•running with detected faults; CP runs the application but lacks certain
functions
•halted
72Release 100.3
Page 89
IO states
Process states
Principle of fault detection and response
The applicable CP state can be read from the User Interface Display located on
each Control Processor and from the diagnostic screens available on Experion
and Safety Stations.
From a SIS point of view, IO can have either the healthy state, the de-energized
state or the fault reaction state.
•When healthy, the IO is active and has the application value or a forced value
applied.
•When de-energized, the IO is de-activated (as if no power was supplied).
•When the fault reaction state is applied, the IO responds conform a predefined
fault condition (fault reaction).
A process can have many states. Related to fault detection and response in the
safety loop of a process, the following process states are described:
•running without detected faults
•running with detected faults
•halted
Principle of fault detection
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) operating in “high demand mode of
operation” must detect and safely isolate any single fault within one PST.
Note
Fault detection and response is aimed at detecting and responding to faults that affect or
endanger the safety of the system and the process under control.
Fault detection
Fault detection is the first step towards fault response.
Faults in Safety Manager are detected conform the Failure Mode and Effect
Analysis (FMEA) model, which provides adequate diagnostics on any detected
fault. Test algorithms and / or test circuits are embedded in the safety related
software and hardware components, such to allow the detection of these faults.
A running SM Controller continuously performs a series of extensive diagnostic
checks on all safety related software and hardware components. This way it will
Safety Manager Safety Manual73
Page 90
7 – Safety Manager fault detection and response
find faults before they can jeopardize the safety of the process and equipment
under control.
Fault detection cycle
The fault detection and diagnostic checks are executed during a fault detection
cycle, which is usually split-up over a number of application cycles.
A fault detection cycle always lasts less than one DTI.
Fault database
Upon detection, a fault is stored in a fault database, where it is further processed
by the Controller.
Upon the severity of the fault, the configuration settings, the redundancy in the
Controller and other user settings, the Controller will decide what action is
appropriate.
To clear a fault from the fault database, the fault must be resolved and a fault reset
must be initiated (e.g. turn and release the Reset key switch on the BKM).
Attention
Make sure that the diagnostic message is understood and the fault is resolved before
initiating a fault reset! Attempting a reset without checking the nature of the fault may
lead to a recurring event.
Principle of fault response
Attention
It is strongly recommended to repair faults even though a fault seems to have no effect on
the system.
If not repaired immediately, faults may accumulate and -combined- create an unforeseen
but expectable system response.
Each detected fault is reported by means of a diagnostic message, alarm markers
and/or diagnostic markers.
If the nature of the fault requires the system to respond, Safety Manager will
isolate the faulty component from the rest of the system.
At the same time the system acts on the effect of loosing the function of that
component.
74Release 100.3
Page 91
Redundancy
No impact on safety
Principle of fault detection and response
That action may be:
•none, a redundant component can cover for the lost function.
•none, loosing the function has no impact on safety.
•apply the fault reaction state to the affected IO.
•start the repair timer.
•halt the affected Control Processor.
•de-energize all non-redundant outputs via the watchdog
•de-energize all outputs via the watchdog.
Below explains these items in more detail.
When available, the redundant component in the system will continue to perform
that function. This means that, when redundancy is provided, the system remains
available for the process.
Fault reaction state
Attention:
When below faults occur, the system will report the anomaly but take no action by itself.
However the system can be programmed to initiate action if needed.
The following examples show a number of faults that have no impact on safety:
•External power down.
•Loss of communication with a process control system.
•Failure of the Controller back-up battery.
If Safety Manager detects a fault related to the IO, this may result in the IO to go
to the fault reaction state.
The fault reaction state is a state used as response to faults arising related to IO.
The fault reaction state is user configurable on module level for hardware IO and
on point level for communication IO. The following fault reaction states exist:
•High is a fault reaction state for digital inputs:
Upon a detected fault the input is energized, or -in other words, the input goes
high or becomes ‘1’.
Safety Manager Safety Manual75
Page 92
7 – Safety Manager fault detection and response
•Low is a fault reaction state for digital inputs and digital outputs:
Upon a detected fault the digital input or output is de-energized, or -in other
words, the digital input or output goes low or becomes ‘0’.
•Top Scale is a fault reaction state for analog inputs:
Upon a detected fault the input is set to the top scale of the range.
•Bottom Scale is a fault reaction state for analog inputs:
Upon a detected fault the analog input is set to the bottom scale of the range.
•Scan is a fault reaction state for tested (analog or digital) inputs:
Upon a detected fault the input or output continues to carry the processing
value, even if this value may be incorrect.
•Hold is a fault reaction state for analog and digital inputs:
Upon a detected fault the input freezes to the last known good value.
•0 mA is a fault reaction state for analog outputs:
Upon a detected fault the analog output is de-energized.
•Appl is a fault reaction state for all outputs:
Upon a detected fault the output remains active, the output value may be
incorrect.
•Preset is a fault reaction state for numeric inputs located on a
communication channel:
Upon detected fault the numeric input is preset to a predefined value (not
necessary being the startup value).
•Freeze is a fault reaction state for numeric inputs located on a
communication channel:
Upon a detected fault the input freezes to the last known good value.
Table 9 on page 76 shows the settings applicable to fault reaction for hardware
IO.

All configurations of Safety Manager are single fault tolerant towards faults that
affect safety: By using a secondary means Safety Manager is always able to bring
a process to safe state, regardless of the fault.
However, given some time, a second fault may occur. This second fault may then
disable the secondary means that keeps the process in a safe state.
To prevent such a scenario to develop, the system starts a repair timer if a
secondary means becomes vulnerable to faults. Once started, this configurable
timer counts down until the fault is repaired. If the timer is allowed to reach zero,
the Control Processor halts.
Halt Control Processor
A Control Processor halts if:
•A fault is detected in one of its safety functions.
•The repair timer runs out.
•The Control Processor is disabled by its own watchdog,
•The Control Processor is disabled by the watchdog of the other Control
For example: corrupted software, safety processors out of sync, watchdog

Processor.
Safety Manager Safety Manual77
Page 94
7 – Safety Manager fault detection and response
Watchdog and redundancy
The availability of the system after responding to a fault depends on the available
redundancy in the system and if -and how- the watchdog interfered.
As shown in Figure 25 on page 79 each Control Processor has a watchdog with
two watchdog lines to independently enable/disable the (non-) redundant outputs.
If the watchdog interferes, this can be caused by:
•A fault in the Control Processor:
This will halt the related CP and disable all output controls of that CP.
•A fault in the non-redundant outputs:
This will cause the watchdogs of both Control Processors to disable the
non-redundant outputs.
•A fault in one of the redundant outputs:
This will cause the related watchdog to halt its CP and disable all outputs
controlled by that CP.

Safety Manager alarm markers, registers and diagnostic
inputs
Safety Manager has a number of inputs, generated by the system, that can be used
in the application to indicate an alarm or a state:
•System markers and registers indicate the state of the system,
•Alarm markers indicate the occurrence of an abnormal system state,
•Diagnostic inputs indicate the health of the related IO channel or IO loop.
All three are discussed in this section.

Alarm marker state
The normal state of a marker (no fault detected) is ‘1’. When the first fault is
detected, the associated alarm marker changes to ‘0’. Any subsequent fault of the
same type causes the alarm marker to pulse for one application program cycle
(see Figure 26 on page 83).

If the channel status is healthy, its diagnostic input is high. If a fault is detected in
the channel, the diagnostic input goes low. The status of the diagnostic inputs
does not depend on the safety relation of the channel.
Diagnostic inputs related to loop status.
These indicate the diagnostic status of a process loop in the field (see Table 16 on
