Requirements for
Controlling Devices
See this table for information about controlling devices.
ATTENTION:
Use only appropriate components or devices
complying with relevant Safety standards, corresponding to the
required level of Safety categories (Safety integrity level).
Conformity to requirements of the Safety category (Safety
integrity level) is determined as an entire system. We
recommend that you consult a certification body regarding an
assessment of conformity to the required Safety level.
