4.4.7 Possible architectures, achievable safety levels and prerequisites
This table is an overview of safety levels for different applications.
The achievable Cat / SIL / PL depends on the sensor which is used in the application and the
detection capability of faults listed in IEC 61800-5-2, table D.16.
