Preface
This safety reference manual is intended to do the following:
•
Describe the ControlLogix Control System components available from
Rockwell Automation that are suitable for use in low-demand,
safety-related control, up to and including SIL 2 applications
•
Provide safety-related information specific to the use of ControlLogix
modules in SIL 2 systems - including PFD calculations that need to be
considered for SIL 2-certified systems
•
Explain some possible SIL 2-certified system configurations
•
Describe basic programming techniques for the implementation of
ControlLogix SIL 2-certified systems with references and links to
more-detailed programming and implementation techniques
Terminology
This table defines abbreviations used in this manual.
IMPORTANT
This manual describes typical SIL 2 implementations using certified
ControlLogix equipment. Keep in mind that the descriptions presented in this
manual do not preclude other methods of implementing a SIL 2-compliant
system by using ControlLogix equipment.
Other methods should be reviewed and approved by a recognized certifying
body, such as TÜV Rheinland Group.

SIL
Safety Integrity Level
A discrete level for specifying the safety integrity requirements of the
safety functions allocated to the electrical/electronic/ programmable
electronic (E/E/PE) part of the safety system.
