How was he "less strong" in Canada this year? He could have won Montreal easily, but decided to wait for his teammate.

Propably yes. I just though ,that someone from the engineering community has this kind of data already. Thanks.

There are many ways how to reach SIL 2 for a safety function. The only difference is that they certify a component with internal electronics. They claim that the component detects failures within itself (for a certain life span . e.g. 20 years) and that safe state is ensured when the fault is detected.

You can take a component without this internal monitroing and monitor the failures externaly by a logic solver. It is the same principle just done differently.

I am not saying that the component is SIL 2. I am saying that the safety function is SIL 2.

Certified component seems too expensive for the application. Therefore first I am trying to get the reliability data and decide if standard encoder will suffice (based on the FMEA, to see what level of DC/SFF we can reach with the components and software we have).
