Feast, be merry and take in this Technical Talk - Safety System & Field Instrumentation - the evening of December 10. Don't forget to wear your ugly Christmas sweater!
Technical Talk Overview
We'll first look at these early safety life cycle considerations:
Upcoming release of IEC 61511 Edition 3 (includes additional SLC phase for conceptual engineering)
Opportunity for examining inherent safety and minimizing SIS scope (HIPPS example)
Then we explore the following as they related to field instrumentation considerations for safety systems:
Overview of prime importance of field Instrumentation for safety performance
Timing of field device specification
Reliability & systematic capability
Measurement types and diagnostics
Final elements and diagnostics
Interface/interaction with the SIS logic solver
Reliability and the installation (minimizing spurious trips)
Example of BPCS instrument measurement installation effect on SIS performance
Meet Our Speaker
Simon Lucchini
