White Paper: DeltaV SIS Configuration Using exSILentia
July 17, 2018
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) have traditional been configured manually using different source documents such as the Safety Requirement Specification (SRS), Cause and Effect matrices (CEM), Safety Integrity Level (SIL) calculations, and I/O definition among other information.
Emerson partnered with exida to deliver a database-based solution that enables automatic configuration of safety logic based on information captured in exida’s exSILentia software suite. One evident advantage of this approach is the reduced configuration effort. However, the real benefit is having a consistent configuration approach with less errors and less rework that is easily traceable back to the SRS.
The purpose of this whitepaper is to provide a high-level overview of the capabilities of the DeltaVTM SISConfigurator developed by exida. This document is not intended as a configuration guideline. For further details please refer to exida’s documentation (exSILentia User Guide and DeltaV SIS Configurator
User Guide).
