Hardware Designs and
Firmware Functions
Diagnostic hardware designs and firmware functions designed into the
ControlLogix/FLEX I/O platform allow it to achieve at least SIL2
certification in a single-controller configuration. These diagnostic features are
incorporated into specific FLEX I/O components, such as the:
• adapter
• power supply
• I/O modules
• terminal base units
and are covered in subsequent sections. The ControlLogix/FLEX I/O
platform’s designs, features and characteristics make it one of the most
intelligent platforms.
Difference Between PFD
and PFH
Table 1.2 and Table 1.3 present values of the PFDs and PFHs for the specific
FLEX I/O products evaluated by TUV.
FLEX I/O uses the same PFD and PFH assumptions as stated in publication
1756-RM001
.
