Risk Parameters
The risk parameters have the following meaning in accordance with DIN V 19250:
Parameters
Meaning
Extent of injury or
damage
S1
Minor injuries; minor harmful effects on the environment
S2
Serious irreversible injuries of one or more persons or fatality of
a person;
Temporary, seriously harmful effects on the environment
S3
Several fatalities;
Lasting, seriously harmful effects on the environment
S4
Catastrophic repercussions, large number of fatalities
Frequency and exposure time
A1
Rare to more often
A2
Frequent to continuous
Possibility of avoiding hazard
G1
Possible in certain circumstances
G2
Rarely possible
Probability of the unwanted occurrence
W1
Very low
W2
Low
W3
Relatively high
Safety Integrity Level in Accordance with IEC 61508
For each Safety Integrity Level (SIL), IEC 61508 defines the probability of failure of
a safety function allocated to a safety-related system as a target measure.

The actuators and sensors generally contribute most to these failure probabilities.
Each safety function always comprises the entire chain, from the collection and
processing of information to the intended action.
The equipment involved, such as the S7 F/FH programmable controller, sensors
and actuators, must in its entirety fulfill the AK and SIL determined as a result of
risk assessment.
If control functions and associated protection functions are implemented together in
the same S7 F/FH, this is said to be high-demand or continuous mode.
