Engineering maintenance of safety instrumented functions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
• The work required to design an adequate platform to support maintenance and operation activities related to safety instrumented systems is frequently underestimated. • Clear objectives and, in consequence, a well-designed strategy supported by a software platform facilitates achieving the required levels of safety and the optimization of resources. • Engineering the maintenance of safety instrumented systems should be accomplished in parallel with the design phase.

متن کاملPrinciples for proof testing of safety instrumented systems in the chemical industry Prepared by ABB Ltd for the Health and Safety Executive
Guiding principles for the proof testing of safety instrumented systems (SIS) in the chemical industry have been developed through research into the practices of proof testing. The proof testing of SIS is an integral component of the management of functional safety. Its purpose is to confirm the continued operation of the required safety instrumented function and to contribute to the maintenanc...
متن کاملProviding independent layers of protection with integrated safety systems
Modern automation systems incorporate (Safety Integrity Level) SIL certified Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) as an inherent part of the system. Phrases such as “integrated but separate” are often used to illustrate the undiminished safety integrity of these fully integrated automation systems. This paper will cover how an Integrated Safety System (one that performs both basic process control ...
متن کاملA Partially Observable Markovian Maintenance Process with Continuous Cost Functions
In this paper a two-state Markovian maintenance process where the true state is unknown will be considered. The operating cost per period is a continuous random variable which depends on the state of the process. If investigation cost is incurred at the beginning of any period, the system wit I be returned to the "in-control" state instantaneously. This problem is solved using the average crite...
متن کاملViewpoint on ISA TR84.0.02--simplified methods and fault tree analysis.
ANSI/ISA-S84.01-1996 and IEC 61508 require the establishment of a safety integrity level for any safety instrumented system or safety related system used to mitigate risk. Each stage of design, operation, maintenance, and testing is judged against this safety integrity level. Quantitative techniques can be used to verify whether the safety integrity level is met. ISA-dTR84.0.02 is a technical r...
