Here are the key points about Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and how Bently Nevada monitoring systems can be ordered to meet specific SIL requirements:
- SIL is a measurement of safety system reliability based on IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 international functional safety standards.
- Bently Nevada monitoring systems like the 3500 rack can be ordered with "SIL capability" which means components are certified to contribute to a specific SIL level (e.g. SIL 1 or SIL 3) when used properly within a safety instrumented system.
- To order a 3500 system with SIL capability, use the "FS_System" model name instead of the standard 3500 model.
