Sample SIL Calculation<br />

Hazard and Risk Analysis 7<br />

As a PES, the <strong>Trident</strong> controller is designed to minimize its contribution to the SIL, thereby<br />

allowing greater flexibility in the SIS design.<br />

(SFF) calculation methods have been independently reviewed by TÜV Rheinland. The numbers<br />

presented here (and in the following tables) are typical. Exact numbers should be calculated <strong>for</strong><br />

each specific system configuration. Contact the Invensys Global Customer Support (GCS)<br />

Center <strong>for</strong> details on calculation methods and options related to the <strong>Trident</strong> controller.<br />

The Triconex controller is a type-B safety-related subsystem as defined in IEC 61508-2 7.4.4.1.3.<br />
