Preventive maintenance (proof test)
The probability values for the certified F-system components guarantee a proof-test interval of
20 years for ordinary configurations.
Proof test for complex electronic components generally means replacement with unused
components.
PFD, PFH values for F-CPU S7-1500
Probability of failure values (PFD
avg
-, PFH values) for F-CPU S7-1500 for a usage time of 20
years and for a repair time of 100 hours are subsequently listed:
