For more information, refer to the Sites section of the documentation.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Availability	Number	A number representing the percentage of time between proof tests that the logic solver is expected to be available.	The APM system calculates this value using the following calculation: Availability = (1 - PFD) * 100

This field is disabled. The APM system calculates and populates this value. This value depends on the failure rate of the sensor system.

In this case, the beta factor is the probability that the loops fail in case of a power supply failure to the sensor system.	If the value in the Voting field is 1oo1 or 1001D, this value is not applicable. This value is populated automatically when you select a device.
HFT	Number	A number representing the hardware fault tolerance, or the number of failures the sensor system can tolerate before failing.	For example, a sensor system with 1oo2 redundancy has a HFT of 1 because it can tolerate one failure and can still continue to operate.

Voting Between Groups	Character	The voting architecture that represents the minimum number of sensor groups that should trip (in the event of a failure) and the number of sensor groups that are available in the system. For example, if the voting is 1oo2, then for the logic solver to detect a failure, at least one sensor group should trip out of the two sensor groups that are available in the group.	This field is updated automatically when you add or remove a sensor group from the system. The following combinations are available: 1oo1 1oo2 2oo2 1oo3 2oo3 3oo3 1oo4 4oo4 This value is required.
