Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Function

3 2 Solenoid valve for gas VAS L slow openingThe solenoid valve for gas VASL opens within 10 s

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

3 2 Solenoid valve for gas VAS L slow openingThe solenoid valve for gas VASL opens within 10 s

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Function

3 2 Solenoid valve for gas VAS L slow openingThe solenoid valve for gas VASL opens within 10 s

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Function

3 FunctionThe gas solenoid valve VAS is closed when it is discon-nected from the power supply

Opening connect the system to the electrical power supply (alternating voltage will be rectified) The blue LED lights up The coilrsquos magnetic field pulls the ar-mature with the attached valve discs upwards The gas solenoid valve VAS opens The double valve seat means that the forces from the inlet pressure are divided al-most equally between the two valve seats

Closing disconnect the VAS from the electrical power supply The blue LED goes out The armature is pressed into its initial position by the closing spring The gas so-lenoid valve closes within 1 s

The strainer in the inlet of the gas solenoid valve pre-vents deposits of dirt particles on the valve seats The pressure loss through the strainer is very low

VAS 1thinspndashthinsp8 N VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 LThe flow rate can be varied by a flow adjusting screw on the actuator within a range from 20 to 100 On VAS 1thinspndashthinsp3 the setting can be monitored on an indicator

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

3 2 Solenoid valve for gas VAS L slow openingThe solenoid valve for gas VASL opens within 10 s

Start gas rate adjustment the gas solenoid valve opens with a quick initial lift and then continues slowly until it is fully open The start gas rate can be set This setting is required for example if a tightness control TC is to be used

By turning the damping unit the start gas rate can be set between 0 and 70 turning it clockwise will reduce the start gas rate turning it anti-clockwise will increase the start gas rate

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Function

3 3 Solenoid valve for gas VAS SVAS G proof of closure switch with visual position indicatorOpening when the gas solenoid valve is opened the proof of closure switch is operated first The visual posi-tion indicator is activated The ldquoopenrdquo signal is marked in red Only then does the double valve seat open to re-lease the volume of gas (overtravel principle)

Closing the gas solenoid valve VAS is disconnected from the voltage supply and the closing spring presses the double valve disc on to the valve seat Then the proof of closure switch is actuated The visual position indicator is white for ldquoclosedrdquo

The actuator cannot be rotated on a gas solenoid valve with a proof of closure switch and visual position indi-cator

NOTE NFPA 86 ndash safety shut-off valve VASS must be fitted with an overtravel switch with a visual position indicator and the burner-side pressure regulator with gas solenoid valve VAxS must be fitted with a closed position switch with visual position indicator One gas solenoid valve must be verifiably closed The closed po-sition can be verified using the proof of closure switch of the gas solenoid valve VASSVASG

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Flow rate

5 3 kv  valueThe size and nominal flange diameter is determined us-ing the flow rate diagram or by calculation using the kV value

Q(n) = Flow rate (standard state) [msup3h]

kV = Valve coefficient (kV min = rough specification for fully restricted flow adjustment)

Δp = Pressure loss [bar]

pd = Outlet pressure (absolute) [bar]

ρn = Density [kgm3] (air 129 natural gas 080 propane 201 butane 271)

T = Medium temperature (absolute) [K]

ExampleWe want to find the size and nominal flange diameter for a gas solenoid valve VAS

We have the maximum flow rate Q(n) max the inlet pres-sure pu and the natural gas temperature T

Q(n) max = 60 m3h

pu = 70 mbar = 007 bar pu absolute = 007 bar + 1 bar = 107 bar

Δpmax = 001 bar (desired)

pd absolute = pu absolute ndash Δpmax

pd absolute = 107 bar ndash 001 bar = 106 bar

T = 27degC Tabsolute = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

The measuring orifice in the air line for impulse lines psa and psa- must always be installed downstream of the air control valve

7 2 Electrical connectionUse temperature-resistant cable (gt 90degC) for the elec-trical connection

The solenoid actuator heats up during operation Sur-face temperature approx 85degC (approx 185degF) pursu-ant to EN 60730-1

In the case of double solenoid valves the position of the connection box can only be changed by removing

the actuator and reinstalling it rotated by 90deg or 180deg The solenoid actuator cannot be rotated on solenoid valves with proof of closure switch VCxS or VCxG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

It is not permitted to install a gas solenoid valve VAS downstream of flow rate regulator VAH and upstream of fine-adjusting valve VMV The VAS would no longer be able to perform its function as a second safety valve if installed in the above-mentioned position

The measuring orifice in the air line for impulse lines psa and psa- must always be installed downstream of the air control valve

7 2 Electrical connectionUse temperature-resistant cable (gt 90degC) for the elec-trical connection

The solenoid actuator heats up during operation Sur-face temperature approx 85degC (approx 185degF) pursu-ant to EN 60730-1

In the case of double solenoid valves the position of the connection box can only be changed by removing

the actuator and reinstalling it rotated by 90deg or 180deg The solenoid actuator cannot be rotated on solenoid valves with proof of closure switch VCxS or VCxG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

It is not permitted to install a gas solenoid valve VAS downstream of flow rate regulator VAH and upstream of fine-adjusting valve VMV The VAS would no longer be able to perform its function as a second safety valve if installed in the above-mentioned position

The measuring orifice in the air line for impulse lines psa and psa- must always be installed downstream of the air control valve

7 2 Electrical connectionUse temperature-resistant cable (gt 90degC) for the elec-trical connection

The solenoid actuator heats up during operation Sur-face temperature approx 85degC (approx 185degF) pursu-ant to EN 60730-1

In the case of double solenoid valves the position of the connection box can only be changed by removing

the actuator and reinstalling it rotated by 90deg or 180deg The solenoid actuator cannot be rotated on solenoid valves with proof of closure switch VCxS or VCxG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

It is not permitted to install a gas solenoid valve VAS downstream of flow rate regulator VAH and upstream of fine-adjusting valve VMV The VAS would no longer be able to perform its function as a second safety valve if installed in the above-mentioned position

The measuring orifice in the air line for impulse lines psa and psa- must always be installed downstream of the air control valve

7 2 Electrical connectionUse temperature-resistant cable (gt 90degC) for the elec-trical connection

The solenoid actuator heats up during operation Sur-face temperature approx 85degC (approx 185degF) pursu-ant to EN 60730-1

In the case of double solenoid valves the position of the connection box can only be changed by removing

the actuator and reinstalling it rotated by 90deg or 180deg The solenoid actuator cannot be rotated on solenoid valves with proof of closure switch VCxS or VCxG

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the minimum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are assumed to appear

from EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or con-tinuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the minimum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are assumed to appear

from EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or con-tinuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

Glossary

12 Glossary12 1 Diagnostic coverage DCMeasure of the effectiveness of diagnostics which may be determined as the ratio between the failure rate of detected dangerous failures and the failure rate of total dangerous failures

NOTE Diagnostic coverage can exist for the whole or parts of a safety-related system For example diagnos-tic coverage could exist for sensors andor logic system andor final elements Unit from EN ISO 13849-1

12 2 Mode of operationHigh demand mode or continuous mode

Operating mode where the frequency of demands for operation made on a safety-related system is greater than one per year or greater than twice the proof-test frequencyfrom EN 61508-4

12 3 CategoryClassification of the safety-related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts fault detection andor by their reliability from EN ISO 13849-1

12 4 Common cause failure CCFFailures of different items resulting from a single event where these failures are not consequences of each otherfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 5 Fraction of undetected common cause failures β Fraction of undetected failures of redundant compo-nents due to a single event whereby these failures are not based on mutual causes

NOTE β is expressed as a fraction in the equations and as a percentage elsewherefrom EN 61508-6

12 6 B10d valueMean number of cycles until 10 of the components fail dangerouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

12 7 T10d valueMean time until 10 of the components fail danger-ouslyfrom EN ISO 13849-1

Glossary

12 8 Hardware fault tolerance HFTA hardware fault tolerance of N means that N + 1 is the minimum number of faults that could cause a loss of the safety functionfrom IEC 61508-22010

12 9 Mean dangerous failure rate λD Mean rate of dangerous failures during operation time (T10d) Unit 1hfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 10 Safe failure fraction SFFFraction of safe failures related to all failures which are assumed to appear

from EN 13611A22011

12 11 Probability of dangerous failure PFHD Value describing the likelihood of dangerous failure per hour of a component for high demand mode or con-tinuous mode Unit 1hfrom EN 13611A22011

12 12 Mean time to dangerous failure MTTFd Expectation of the mean time to dangerous failurefrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 13 Demand rate nop Mean number of annual operationsfrom EN ISO 13849-12008

12 14 Average probability of dangerous failure on demand PFDavg (LDM = 1 ndash 10 switching cyclesyear)

Average probability of a dangerous failure of the safety function on demand (LDM = low demand mode)see EN 61508-6
