Chapter 7 1715 Redundant I/O System in SIL 2 Safety Applications
Where separate supplies power field signals, power separation must be
maintained between modules so that isolation is maintained.
Configure SIL 2 Operation
To configure 1715 modules for SIL 2 applications you must enable each 1715
module in your system for SIL 2 operation, and set its connection reaction
time limit (CRTL) and module requested packet interval (RPI). In addition, for
input modules, you must configure safe state input values.
Enable SIL 2 Operation
Follow these steps to enable a module for SIL 2 operation.
1. On the Module Definition dialog box, from the Series pull-down menu,
choose Series A.
2. From the Revision pull-down menu, choose 2.001 or later.
3. From the Connection pull-down menu, choose Data.
4. From the Redundant pull-down menu, choose No for single modules
with simplex termination assemblies or Yes if you are using two modules
with duplex termination assemblies.
5. From the SIL 2 Safety pull-down menu, choose Yes.
Specify the Connection Reaction Time Limit and Requested Packet
Interval
On the SIL 2 Safety tab of the module, enter the requested packet interval (RPI)
and connection reaction time limit (CRTL). The module RPI is the same as the
setting on the Connection tab.
