SIL 2 Certification Chapter 13
Figure 44 on page 196 shows a typical SIL loop that uses redundancy,
including the following:
• The overall safety loop
• The ControlLogix portion of the overall safety loop
• How other devices (for example, HMI) connect to the loop, while
operating outside the loop
Fault-tolerant Configuration
The most recently-certified ControlLogix SIL2 configuration is the fault-
tolerant configuration. The fault-tolerant configuration of the ControlLogix
system uses fully-redundant controllers, communication modules, and remote
I/O.
Figure 45 - Fault-tolerant Configuration
The fault-tolerant configuration uses safety and programming principles
described in this manual, as well as programming and hardware described in
the application technique manuals.
