SIL Policy
Chapter 1
Typical SIL 2 Configurations
SIL 2-certified ControlLogix systems can be used in standard (simplex) or
high-availability (duplex) configurations. For the purposes of documentation, the
various levels of availability that can be achieved by using various ControlLogix
system configurations are referred to as simplex or duplex.
This table lists each system configuration and the hardware that is part of the
system’s safety loop.
Follow these implementation guidelines:
•
Communication modules are SIL 2-rated.
•
CIP communication is SIL 2-rated.
•
Two SIL 2 I/O modules are used.
•
Application logic provides diagnostics
•
Two separate controller connections are used.

IMPORTANT
The system user is responsible for these tasks when any of the ControlLogix
SIL 2 system configurations are used:
•
The set-up, SIL rating, and validation of any sensors or actuators
connected to the ControlLogix control system
•
Project management and functional testing
•
Programming the application software and the module configuration
according to the descriptions in this manual
The SIL 2 portion of the certified system excludes the development tools
and display/human machine interface (HMI) devices; these tools and
devices must not be part of the safety loop.
