  80. If "frozen output" failures are classified as DU, and failures as "drift failure" are classified as 50%DU and 50%SU, then DU failure rate should always be higher than SU failure rate. But considering,for example, the Yokogawa EJA Serie E transmitter I see  
  81. If a sensor is put on a soft maintenance bypass, would that be considered as an online maintenance?  
  82. If maintenance is carried out during the time while the subsystem (e.g. valve) is in service, would that time be captured in verification calculations using MTTR?  
  83. If the Partial Stroke test is done in "Manual" mode, the architectural constraint limits the SIL level to "1", whereas - If the Partial Stroke test is done in "Automatic" mode, the architectural constraint meets the SIL level "2" requirement. Could you pl

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

  92. In the new version of the software, we've had a problem related to the beta factor in the Final Element. Usually, when the Beta factor is increased, the PFD is increased too. But in this version, it happened the other way around. It only happens in the fi

  107. The Achieved SIL box is not updating. An example is where the SIL 2 has been calculated/achieved but the SIL Achieved box shows 0. Not sure if this is an error I am making or a software problem. Please advise.​  
  108. The calculation of PFD shows a discrepancy between the exSILentia and ISA formulas. Would you be kind enough to share the formula used in exSILentia so we may compare and note what are the differences and evaluate ISA formula accordingly.

  110. The exida LOPA database did not install on the user's system. Can you provide instructions/download for the database?  
  111. The exSILentia database includes failure rates for Industrial PLC that has the remark that the data reflects a high-end general purpose PLC like ControlLogix. The Allen Bradley safety reference manual on Using ControlLogix in SIL 2 applications states tha  
  112. The SERH data for a Fisher Control DVC6200 SIS DETT lists the device type as Type A, which means it should be a simple mechanical non programmable device. However as the DVC6200 SIS has a micro controller cum processor built in which can be programmed for
