Management Summary

This report summarizes the results of the functional safety assessment according to IEC 61508 carried out on the SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter

The functional safety assessment performed by exida consisted of the following activities:

- exida assessed the development process used by Moore Industries - International through an audit and creation of a detailed safety case against the requirements of IEC 61508.

- exida reviewed and assessed a detailed Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) of the devices to document the hardware architecture and failure behavior.

- exida reviewed field failure data to ensure that the FMEDA analysis was complete.

- exida reviewed the manufacturing quality system in use at MII.

The functional safety assessment was performed to the requirements of IEC 61508: ed2, 2010, SIL

3. A full IEC 61508 Safety Case was prepared, using the exida SafetyCaseWB tool, and used as the primary audit tool. Hardware process requirements and all associated documentation were reviewed. Environmental test reports were reviewed. The user documentation (safety manual) was reviewed.

Some areas of improvement were identified in the design process and the design procedures were upgraded during the project. However because of the low complexity of the products and the proven in use design, MII was able to demonstrate that the objectives of the standard have been met.

The results of the Functional Safety Assessment can be summarized by the following statements:

The MII SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter, was found to meet the requirements of SIL 3 (SIL 3 Capable).

The PFDAVG and Architectural Constraint requirements of the standard must be verified for each element of a Safety Function.

The manufacturer will be entitled to use these Functional Safety Logos.

3 Product Descriptions

The SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter is a series of Type A hardware devices which serve to isolate and/or split electrical signals.

The 2-wire SSX Isolator is powered by the loop. The 4-wire SST is powered by an external supply (AC or DC). Both the SSX and the SST are meant to isolate power, while passing through signals from input to output. The SST can also function as a signal converter or a signal splitter. Configurations accommodate a single input with one or two accurate outputs.

The SSX and the SST are part of the Moore Industries’ Functional Safety Series products, developed following the IEC61508:2010 and certified up to SIL 3 systematic capability. The SSX and SST product family are compact, DIN-rail-mounted “loop add-ons”. They can be used to break the common electrical (galvanic) path between a HART transmitter and one or more receiving devices in a process instrumentation loop. The SST and the SSX:

Safeguard I/O cards from surges, spikes and transients. Add the 1500Vrms isolating capability of a SSX or SST Isolator to a loop to break the common (galvanic) path that can pass dangerous overloads from DCS to HART transmitter to PLC and vice-versa. This hazard is common—even when a transmitter and DCS are supposedly “isolated” already.

“Isolate” areas of an application. Ease maintenance complications by using the 4-wire SST to maintain secondary loop integrity while the primary HART master is down for maintenance.

Facilitate the “Sharing” of one (or two, for splitter) HART outputs—safely—with a secondary control or recording device.

Eliminate “Bucking” power supply problems. Whenever more than one 4-wire device provides signal to the loop, each power source (typically grounded with differing potentials) vies for control. This can cause both HART and analog signals to fluctuate, adversely affecting loop reliability and accuracy

The SSX/SST can be ordered to accept 4-20mA or 1-5V. HART standard 4-20mA with digital data superimposed on current input models (HART not available on voltage input models). Both isolators and splitter “pass” the conditioned signal—including the analog 4-20mA—through from transmitter to receiver and from receiver back to transmitter. This “signal passing” is operationally transparent to devices on either end of the loop.

The safety function of the device is to transfer the input (measured) signal to the output(s) accurately, and within a maximum response time. The safety accuracy is 3% of span. The maximum safety response time is < 100 ms. The HART signal, if present, is not part of the safety function.

The devices have no diagnostic capability.

4 IEC 61508 Functional Safety Assessment

The IEC 61508 Functional Safety Assessment was performed based on the information received from Moore Industries - International and is documented in this report.

4.1 Methodology

The full functional safety assessment includes an assessment of all fault avoidance and fault control measures during hardware development and demonstrates full compliance with IEC 61508 to the end-user. The assessment considers all requirements of IEC 61508. Any requirements that have been deemed not applicable have been marked as such in the full Safety Case report, e.g. software development requirements for a product with no software. The assessment also includes a review of existing manufacturing quality procedures to ensure compliance to the quality requirements of IEC 61508.

As part of the IEC 61508 functional safety assessment the following aspects have been reviewed:

Development process, including:

o Functional Safety Management, including training and competence recording, FSM planning, and configuration management

o Specification process, techniques and documentation

o Design process, techniques and documentation, including tools used

o Validation activities, including development test procedures, test plans and reports, production test procedures and documentation

o Verification activities and documentation

o Modification process and documentation

o Installation, operation, and maintenance requirements, including user documentation

Product design

o Hardware architecture and failure behavior, documented in a FMEDA Report

The review of the development procedures is described in section 5. The review of the product design is described in section 5.2.

4.2 Assessment level

The SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter has been assessed per IEC 61508 to the following levels:

Systematic Safety Integrity: SIL 3 capable

Random Safety Integrity: PFDAVG and Architectural Constraints must be verified for each application.

The development procedures were assessed as suitable for use in applications with a maximum Safety Integrity Level of 3 (SIL 3) according to IEC 61508.

5 Results of the IEC 61508 Functional Safety Assessment

exida assessed the development process used by Moore Industries - International for these products against the objectives of IEC 61508 parts 1, 2, and 3. The assessment was done per this IEC 61508 SIL 3 compliant development.

5.1 Lifecycle Activities and Fault Avoidance Measures

Moore Industries - International has an IEC 61508 compliant development process as assessed during the IEC 61508 certification. This compliant development process is documented in [D01].

This functional safety assessment investigated the compliance, with IEC 61508, of the processes, procedures and techniques as implemented for the product development. The investigation was executed using subsets of the IEC 61508 requirements tailored to the SIL 3 work scope of the development team. The defined product lifecycle process was modified as a result of the audit which showed some areas for improvement. However, given the simple nature of the safety function and the extensive proven field experience for existing products, Moore Industries - International was able to demonstrate that the objectives of the standard have been met. The result of the assessment can be summarized by the following observations:

The audited Moore Industries - International design and development process complies with the relevant managerial requirements of IEC 61508 SIL 3.

5.1.1 Functional Safety Management

FSM Planning

Moore Industries - International has a defined process in place for product design and development. Required activities are specified along with review and approval requirements. This is primarily documented in section 7 of their Quality Management System Manual [D001], and in greater detail in other procedures [D003a and D003b]. Templates and sample documents were reviews and found to be sufficient. The modification process is covered by the ECO and Change Control Process [D022a and D022b]. This process and the procedures referenced therein fulfill the requirements of IEC 61508 with respect to functional safety management for a product with simple complexity and well defined safety functionality.

Version Control

DOC/0100 requires that all documents be under document control. Use of this to control revisions was evident during the audit.

Training, Competency recording

ADM/0300 and DEV/1800 requires the Human Resource department to maintain training records of education, experience, training and qualifications for all personnel. Department heads are responsible for identifying and providing the training needs for their department as well as proficiency evaluations. The procedures and records were examined and found up-to-date and

sufficient [D033 & D035]. MII hired exida to be the independent assessor per IEC 61508 and to provide specific IEC 61508 knowledge.

T-034 V2R1 www.exida.com Page 13 of 16

5.1.2 Safety Requirements Specification and Architecture Design

For the SSX/SST, the simple primary functionality is mostly to support the safety functionality of the product (Transmit measurement signal, splitting the signal and isolating power supplies, Transmit HART signals). As the SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter designs are simple and are based upon standard designs with extensive field history, no semi-formal methods are needed, although there are block diagrams in the architecture design documentation. General Design and testing methodology is documented and required as part of the design process. This meets SIL 3.

5.1.3 Hardware Design

The design process is documented in Section 7.3 of [D1]. Items from IEC 61508-2, Table B.2 include observance of guidelines and standards, project management, documentation (design outputs are documented per quality procedures), structured design, modularization, use of well-tried components / materials, and computer-aided design tools. This meets SIL 3.

5.1.4 Validation

Validation Testing is documented in [D068a-b] and [D073a-c]. The test plan includes testing of all safety requirements. As the SSX/SST are purely electrical devices with a simple safety function, there is no separate integration testing necessary per se. The SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter devices each perform only 1 Safety Function, which is extensively tested under various conditions during validation testing.

Items from IEC 61508-2, Table B.3 include functional testing, project management, documentation, and black-box testing (for the considered devices this is similar to functional testing). Field experience and statistical testing via regression testing are not applicable. This meets SIL 3.

Items from IEC 61508-2, Table B.5 included functional testing and functional testing under environmental conditions, project management, documentation, failure analysis (analysis on products that failed), expanded functional testing, black-box testing, and fault insertion testing. This meets SIL 3.

5.1.5 Verification

The development and verification activities are defined in sections 7.3.5 and 7.3.6 of [D003a]. For each design phase the objectives are stated, required input and output documents and review activities. [D053] is a verification checklist which shows that verification has been carried out appropriately. This meets SIL 3.

5.1.6 Proven In Use

No proven in use analysis was carried out for the SXX/SST.

5.1.7 Modifications

Modifications are initiated per a combination of the procedures defined in [D012a-d], including engineering change notice procedure. All changes are first reviewed and analyzed for impact before being approved. Measures to verify and validate the change are developed following the normal design process. This meets SIL 3.

T-034 V2R1 www.exida.com Page 14 of 16

5.1.8 User documentation

Moore Industries - International creates the following user documentation: product catalogs and a Safety Manual. The Safety Manual was found to contain all of the required information given the simplicity of the products. The Safety Manual references the FMEDA reports which are available and contain the required failure rates, failure modes, useful life, and suggested proof test information.

Items from IEC 61508-2, Table B.4 include operation and maintenance instructions, user friendliness, maintenance friendliness, project management, documentation and limited operation possibilities (SSX/SST perform well-defined actions). This meets SIL 3.

5.2 Hardware Assessment

To evaluate the hardware design of the SSX/SST Isolator/Splitter Failure Modes, Effects, and

Diagnostic Analyses were performed by Moore Industries - International and reviewed by exida. These are documented in [D054].

A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic way to identify and evaluate the effects of different component failure modes, to determine what could eliminate or reduce the chance of failure, and to document the system in consideration. An FMEDA (Failure Mode Effect and Diagnostic Analysis) is an FMEA extension. It combines standard FMEA techniques with extension to identify online diagnostics techniques and the failure modes relevant to safety instrumented system design.

From the FMEDA, failure rates are derived for each important failure category. All failure rate analysis results and useful life limitations are listed in the FMEDA report [D054]. Tables in the FMEDA report list these failure rates for the various configurations of the SSX/SST. The failure rates listed are valid for the useful life of the devices.

These results must be considered in combination with PFDAVG values of other devices of a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) in order to determine suitability for a specific Safety Integrity Level (SIL). The Safety Manual states that the application engineer should calculate the PFDAVG for each defined safety instrumented function (SIF) to verify the design of that SIF.
