SAFETY INTEGRITY LEVELS 1 & 2
FLOAT FAILURE IDENTIFICATION
Jupiter
®
is the only magnetostrictive transmitter to achieve SIL 2 classification as 1oo1 device per IEC 61508. The below table
offers the possibility to compare on a one-to-one basis, the SIL performance of Jupiter with other level transmitters.
1
oo1: One-out-of-one device means the suggested SIL class by the manufacturer is achieved by a single transmitter.
T
he use of 2 transmitters to achieve a higher SIL classification is often stated as 1oo2 (one out of two) devices.
SFF: Safe Failure Fraction is the ratio between detected (safe and dangerous) and undetected (safe) instrument fail-
u
res versus total failures by the instrument. The % of this ratio is preferably as high as possible.
PFDavg: Average probability of failure on demand. This value is preferably as low as possible.
For more complete information, ask for the Jupiter FMEDA report by Exida.
The Jupiter
®
200 with SIL enhanced electronics is either using a probe with inactive zone or an extended MLI cage to identi-
fy a sinking or collapsed float as a float failure. Jupiter
®
200 with SIL enhanced electronics are equipped with one float for
measuring either the top level or the interface level.
