Safety Considerations
The sequence of events and process historian function blocks
are TÜV certified for Risk Class 5 as non-interfering. These
function blocks are non-interfering because they do not
perform any control actions. They can be used to monitor and
record Regent I/O and other variables that are used for safety
critical functions.
