Invariable memory ranges of memory in a processor system that contains data that is not intended
to vary during program execution.

Note 1 to entry: Invariable memory may include the construction of RAM where the data is not
intended to vary during program execution.

H.2.20.6 Variable memory

Ranges of memory in a processor system that contains data that is intended to vary during
program execution.

H.2.22 Definitions relative to control function bases

For the evaluation of protection measures for fault tolerance and risk avoidance, it is necessary to
classify control functions with respect to their failure behavior. In the classification of control
functions, their integration into the complete safety concept of the apparatus will be taken into
account.

NOTE: A control function consists of the entire loop that begins with the sensing means through the
processing circuits (hardware and software if used) and including the actuator unit. In order to
evaluate the design of a control function, current requirements recognize three distinct classes:

H.2.22.1 Class A control function

Control functions that are not intended to be invoked for the safety of the application.

Note 1 to entry: Some examples are: room thermostats, temperature control.

H.2.22.2 Class B control function

Control functions intended to prevent an unsafe state of the apparatus.

Note 1 to entry: The failure of the control function will not directly lead to a dangerous situation.

Note 2 to entry: Examples are: thermal limiter, pressure limiter.

H.2.22.3 Class C control function

Control functions intended to prevent special hazards such as explosion or whose failure could
directly cause a danger in the apparatus.

Note 1 to entry: Examples are: burner control systems, thermal limits for closed water systems
(without ventilation protection).

H.2.23 Definitions relative to functional safety

H.2.23.1 Fault tolerance time

Between the occurrence of a fault and the shutdown of the controlled equipment, which is tolerated
by the application without creating a dangerous situation.

Note 1 to entry: Actions other than shutting down the controlled equipment are possible if
dangerous situations are prevented
