IEC 61508: Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic
Safety-related Systems (E/E/PE, or E/E/PES)
IEC 61508 has seven parts:
- Parts 1-3 contain the requirements of the standard (normative)
- Parts 4-7 are guidelines and examples for development and are thus informative.
Central to the standard are the concepts of risk and safety function. Risk is
a function of the likely frequency of the hazardous event and the likely
consequence and severity of an event. The risk can be reduced to a tolerable
level by applying safety functions that may consist of E/E/PES and/or other
technologies. While other technologies may be employed in reducing the risk,
only those safety functions relying on E/E/PES are covered by the detailed
requirements of IEC 61508.

Searchline Excel Plus & Edge Safety Function
The intended use of the Searchline Excel Plus & Edge is to alert users to the
presence of a potentially dangerous gaseous leaks in a defined zone. To
achieve this aim, Searchline Excel Plus & Edge provides a safety function with
two outputs which may be used simultaneously if required, providing
compatibility with different safety integrity levels.
An mA output is provided which is compatible with SIL 2 needs. Any output 1.5
mA or below must be treated as a fault condition and is a defined safe state
for this safety function. A range below 4 mA can be configured to provide
warning indications. Values above 4 mA up to 22 mA can be configured to
provide either an analogue representation of the leak level or a fixed alarm
output. A set of relay output are also provided which are compatible with SIL
1 needs. Independent Fault, Suspected Alarm and Confirmed Alarm relay contacts
are provided. A deenergized fault relay must be treated as a fault condition
and is a defined safe state for this safety function. The Alarm relay contacts
can be configured as either normally energized or normally deenergized
dependent on the application needs. Compliance to IEC 61508:2010 has been
assessed by an independent third party and reference to their certification
and test report can be found in the following sections. Bluetooth, Modbus or
HART communications are specifically not a part of the Searchline Excel Plus &
Edge safety function. These interfaces are non-interfering functions typically
used for device setup, commissioning, diagnostics and troubleshooting. They do
not interrupt the safety critical functions of the device.
Searchline Excel Plus & Edge Safety Parameters
The following safety parameters are in alignment with the TÜV report HP94655C. They are valid for Modification State 1 and firmware version 3.20 of the Searchline Excel Plus & Edge.
Configuration| PFDavg| PFh| SFF| Diagnostic
Coverage| ß| ß D| Dangerous| D D| D
U| Safe| S d| S u
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Relay Output (SIL 1)| 1.74-03| 3.89-07| 93.5%| 92.1%| 5%| 2%| 4824.64| 4436|
388.64| 1069.67| 985.16| 84.51
mA Output (SIL 2)| 5.61-04| 1.19-07| 98%| 97.6%| 5%| 2%| 4713.77| 4594.37|
119.4| 976.22| 952.79| 23.43
The PFD figures quoted above assume a nominal one-year proof test interval and
8-hours repair time (MTTR). The Searchline Excel Plus & Edge internally has an
HFT of 0 and is defined as a Type B device as per IEC 61508. The diagnostic
test interval for the Searchline Excel Plus & Edge is less than 30 seconds in
normal operation.
Proof Test Interval
The purpose of a proof test is to return the unit to ‘as new’ condition in
terms of its safety parameters. The nominal proof test interval is 12 calendar
months but, as stated in IEC 61508 and always dependent on local conditions,
users may vary the proof test interval to meet their system needs. Honeywell
allows such variations provided that the proper calculation method for
calculating a proof test interval – as defined in IEC 61508 – is used to
attain the required SIL level. Proof test variations will depend on the
system, hardware architectures and applications, and should be reviewed
annually. Given that relay outputs could be complex to isolate and test, the
user may determine that a longer proof test interval would be desirable. The
table below can be used to understand the different PFD & PFH values for these
differing interval.
Note:
The nominal proof test interval should not preclude more frequent maintenance
of Searchline Excel Plus & Edge in accordance with the Operating Instructions
if site conditions or other factors require it.
The effect of different proof test intervals on the PFDavg:
MTTR = 8 hours MTTR = 72 hours

At no time should voltages exceeding 60V DC be provided to the product (with the exception of the relay contact connections).
- Searchline Excel Plus & Edge contains relays that may be used to perform executive actions when an alarm is triggered. Ensure that such systems are identified and inhibited / disconnected before carrying out any proof testing, bump testing, or sensor calibrations.
- For SIL 2 applications, users must use the mA output to determine both alarm and fault conditions. Configurations for SIL 2 alarm relay outputs are described in point 10d). Relay outputs can be used simultaneously for SIL 1 or non-safety applications.
- If relay outputs are used for safety purposes, the following directions must be adhered to:
- a) The relay contacts must be protected with a fuse rated at a maximum of 3 A.
- b) Only resistive loads should be connected to the relay contacts.
- c) The fault relay output must be energized under normal conditions.
- d) It is possible to realize a SIL 2 relay output for alarm conditions. If such a configuration is required the suspected and confirmed alarm relay outputs must be wired as shown below. Configuration 1 should be used when an “open contact” represents the activation of the safety function whereas Configuration 2 should be used when a “closed contact” represents the activation of the safety function. Configuration 1 requires the addition of a protective fuse rated at a maximum of 3 A to protect the relay contacts from adverse events which may cause contact welding.
