Safety Concept for GuardPLC Controllers and GuardPLC I/O
Chapter

PFD and PFH Calculations
The average probability of a system to fail to satisfactorily perform its
safety function on demand is called Probability of Failure on Demand
(PFD). The probability of a system to have a dangerous failure occur
per hour is called Probability of Failure per Hour (PFH).
PFD and PFH calculations have been carried out for the GuardPLC
controllers and GuardPLC I/O system in accordance with IEC 61508.
For SIL 3, IEC 61508-1 sets the following minimum PFD and PFH
values:
