[SystemSafety] SIL 4 and IEC 61131-3 languages

[Daniel Grivicic]

Dear Bertrand,

If you assume that the devices which use IEC61131-3 are typical of the
industry, then you will find that SIL3 is possible and widely found however
SIL4 is not. I am not aware of any PLC that is capable of SIL4 and is
software configurable. The 3 such devices I am aware of use logic cards and
are hard wired.

Sorry I cannot assist much more.

Thanks

Daniel.
