Difference between Process shutdown and Emergency Shutdown
What is Process shutdown (PSD) ? Process shutdown (PSD) is defined as the automatic isolation and the activation of all part of a process. During a PSD the process remain

Category : Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is engineered to perform “specific control functions” to failsafe or maintain safe operation of a process when unacceptable or dangerous conditions occur.
Voting Logic in Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
There are 1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo2, 2oo3 etc voting logic in the safety instrumented system architecture. The voting logic architecture usually used in the field instrument and or final control elements to reach certain Safety Integrity
Difference between SIS, PLC and BPCS Systems
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is a measure of safety system performance – not a measure of process risk. The higher the level of risk, the greater the system performance required.
Why choose Intrinsic Safety ?
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a low-energy signalling technique that prevents explosions from occurring by ensuring that the energy transferred to a hazardous area is well below the energy required to initiate
Energize to Safe Loop philosophy
Safety Instrument loop in a plant operate in two modes: Energized to safe De-energized to safe Energized to safe mode works as contrary to that of De-energized to safe loop.
Importance of Safety Integrity Level
The global importance of SIL (Safety Integrity Level) has grown substantially in the oil/gas, petrochemical and other process industries over the last 10 years. However, for many end users, systems
De-energize to Safe Loop philosophy
Safety Instrument loop in a plant operate in two modes: Energized to safe De-energized to safe De-energize to safe loop, also known as fail safe system means that during plant
What is Partial Stroke Test ?
In all of our activities, safety is one of the prime points under consideration. The same is true when we deal with industrial processes, mainly when process automation is increasingly
What is Process Override Switch (POS) ?
Process Override Switch shall be provided to override unhealthy field inputs in order to facilitate start-up, which shall automatically be released upon normalisation of the field input or preset time,
What is Maintenance Override Switch (MOS) ?
Maintenance Override Switch (MOS) shall be provided to override all field inputs designated to trip the facility in order to facilitate maintenance of field devices without interrupting the plant operation.
