meet the requirements of IEC 61508 SIL capability 3 when used as a PES in an SIS. For the<br />

approved <strong>Trident</strong> system versions, see the “List of Type Approved Programmable Logic<br />

Controllers (PES)” on the TÜV website at http://www.tuv-fs.com/plctcnx.htm. This list is<br />

published by Invensys <strong>Systems</strong> Inc. and TÜV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH.<br />

TriStation 1131 software has been reviewed and evaluated as part of the functional safety<br />

assessment and certification of Triconex controllers according to IEC 61508. Based on the<br />

review, and evaluation during certification, TÜV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH deems the<br />

TriStation 1131 software suitable as a development and deployment tool <strong>for</strong> SIL capability 3<br />

safety and critical control applications as defined by IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, when it is used<br />

in accordance with Triconex user documentation, which includes the <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Considerations</strong><br />

<strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
