Abstract

The new VDI / VDE 2180 Part 4 describes which special features must be observed for mechanical components as part of Safety Instrumented Systems. In particular, the possible random faults that occur for mechanical components and whether they should be included in the PFD calculation are discussed. This article briefly summarizes the content of the new Part 4 and shows how to apply new Part 4 in practical applications.
