SIL 2 Applications Checklist
1715 I/O Modules
The following checklist is required for planning, programming, and startup of
a SIL 2-certified system that uses 1715 I/O modules. It can be used as a planning
guide and during proof testing. If used as a planning guide, the checklist can
be saved as a record of the plan.

1.
Are you using the SIL 2-certified 1715 modules only with the corresponding firmware release listed in
Revision Release List (available from the Product Certification link at
) for your
safety application?
2.
Have all modules been installed in accordance with the instructions in this manual?
3.
Has a risk analysis been completed to determine the required SIL for your application?
4.
Has fault detection time been specified?
5.
Where fault detection time is greater than the controller reaction time limit (CRTL), does the safety-
related I/O configuration provide a fail-safe configuration?
6.
Has the safety-related timing for each safety-related function, including CRTL and fault tolerance
period been
established?
7.
Does the application program shut down the SIL 2 safety functions if a faulty module has not been
replaced within the Mean Time to Restoration (MTTR) assumed for the system in the Probability of
Failure on Demand (PFD) calculations?
8.
Has the application program been configured to monitor the discrepancy alarms and alert operators
when a discrepancy alarm occurs?
9.
Is the safety accuracy adequate for the application?
10.
Have variables been configured to report the safety accuracy value for each channel?
11.
Have variables been configured to report safe values when the safety accuracy value of a channel
fails because it is reported to be below the 1% accuracy figure?
12.
Has the maximum duration for single channel operation of an I/O module been specified in
accordance with the application requirements?
13.
Have you used two 1715-AENTR adapters in SIL 2 simplex and duplex configurations?
14.
Have you set the Shutdown mode option for each output channel to OFF?
15.
If digital output channels have been configured for Hold Last State, has the impact on the safety
functions been addressed?
16.
Have you used the SIL 2 Add-On Instructions in accordance with the information in this manual?
17.
Have you performed all appropriate proof tests?
