Expected outcome

Remarks

Functional test:

1. Follow all Management of Change

procedures to bypass logic solvers if

necessary.

2. Execute HART/BRAIN command to

send value to high alarm (21.5 mA) and

verify that current has reached this level.

3. Execute HART/BRAIN command to

send value to low alarm (3.6 mA) and

verify that current has reached this level.

4. Restore logic solvers operation and

verify.

The output needs to be

monitored to assure that the

transmitter communicates

the correct signal.

Perform three point calibration along with

the functional test listed above.

A1.2.6 Repair and Replacement

If repair is to be performed with the process online

the transmitter will need to be bypassed during the

repair. The user should setup appropriate bypass

procedures.
In the unlikely event that the transmitter has a

failure, the failures that are detected should be

reported to Yokogawa.
When replacing the transmitter, the procedure in the

installation manual should be followed.
The personnel performing the repair or replacement

of the transmitter should have a sufficient skill level.

A1.2.7 Startup Time

The transmitter generates a valid signal within 1

second of power-on startup.

A1.2.8 Firmware Update

In case firmware updates are required, they

will be performed at factory. The replacement

responsibilities are then in place. The user will not

be required to perform any firmware updates.

A1.2.9 Reliability Data

A detailed Failure Mode, Effects, and Diagnostics

Analysis (FMEDA) report is available from

Yokogawa with all failure rates and failure modes.
The transmitter is certified up to SIL2 for use

in a simplex (1oo1) configuration, depending

on the PFDavg calculation of the entire Safety

Instrumented Function.

The development process of the transmitter is

certified up to SIL3, allowing redundant use of

the transmitter up to this Safety Integrity Level,

depending the PFDavg calculation of the entire

Safety Instrumented Function.
When using the transmitter in a redundant

configuration, the use of a common cause factor

(β-factor) of 2% is suggested. (However, if the

redundant transmitters share an impulse line or if

clogging of the separate impulse lines is likely, a

common cause factor of 10% is suggested.)
Note that the failure rates of the impulse lines need

to be accounted for in the PFDavg calculation.

A1.2.10 Lifetime Limits

The expected lifetime of the transmitter is 50

years. The reliability data listed the FMEDA report

is only valid for this period. The failure rates of the

transmitter may increase sometime after this period.

Reliability calculations based on the data listed in

the FMEDA report for transmitter lifetimes beyond

50 years may yield results that are too optimistic,

i.e. the calculated Safety Integrity Level will not be

achieved.

A1.2.11 Environmental Limits

The environmental limits of the transmitter are

specified in the user’s manual IM 01C25.

A1.2.12 Application Limits

The application limits of the transmitter are specified

in the user’s manual IM 01C25. If the transmitter is

used outside of the application limits, the reliability

data listed in A1.2.9 becomes invalid.
