Safety and reliability are critical
factors in designing Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) and the fire and
gas detection and protection systems These systems bring production facilities
and refinery units to a safe state after an unpredictable hazardous
event, and maintain that state until other-wise commanded. Whatever the
cause for operating abnormalities. This system is designed to
consistently and automatically protect personnel, environment and
equipment. We do not take false or unnecessary actions,
rather the system accelerates the process in which the plant will return
to its normal operating state.
We conduct a hazard analysis to determine
the required level of safety integrity for your plant. The analysis also
determines which type of safety protection is required, such as an
Emergency Shutdown system. The next task is to decide the appropriate
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) the system must meet. This safety system
has many features that make it suitable for use in advanced safety
applications, including safety I/O boards, programming elements and
highly advanced diagnostics. It is also suitable for use in smaller
applications where it can handle both process control and safety.
The safety controller is designed to meet any application requirements
in safety. It has two control branches that work in parallel, yet
independent of each other. Each control branch is able to set field
output signals when its extensive diagnostic control gives an active
permissive signal. Also, the safety controller has fully triplicated architecture, from input modules to output modules. It uses
a 2 out of 3 voting principle, and is designed for maximum safety and
availability, maximizing uptime for the plant. The ABB TMR system offers
fault-tolerant and fail-safe operation, and has the fastest scan time of
any TMR system with `availabilities exceeding 99,999%. |
