A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is a set of components including sensors, logic solvers, and final control elements whose purpose is to respond to plant conditions, which may be hazardous in themselves, or if no action were taken, could eventually result in a hazardous condition. The Safety Instrumented System must generate the correct outputs to prevent the hazard or reduce the consequences of the hazard. Safety instrumented systems are applied to a process to reduce the risk from costly or dangerous failures in industrial processes. The magnitude of risk reduction needed is determined from an analysis of the severity of hazardous process events and their probability of occurrence. Safety instrumented systems are typically made up of multiple Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs). Each SIF defines: The measurements (sensors) to use The actions to take (control elements to drive) When to apply the actions (logic linking the measurements to the actions) How fast to measure and react Every SIF has a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assigned to it. SIL is a measure of the risk reduction provided by a SIF based on four discrete levels, each representing an order of magnitude of risk reduction.

DeltaV Safety Instrumented Systems


DeltaV Safety Instrumented Systems are the combination of DeltaV hardware and software that you use to install, configure, and operate a system to implement a safety instrumented system in conjunction with sensors and final elements to take a process to a safe state when hazardous conditions occur. DeltaV SIS components are separate from, but integrated with, the DeltaV basic process control system (BPCS). The DeltaV SIS Logic Solvers mount on standard DeltaV I/O backplanes but they are powered separately from the BPCS power supplies. Safety Instrumented Functions are configured in one or more SIS modules using the DeltaV engineering toolsDeltaV Explorer and Control Studio. SIS modules are downloaded to run in Logic Solvers.

DeltaV SIS Hardware


DeltaV SIS hardware includes the following products: Logic Solvers (SLS 1508) run the SIS modules you configure. SLS Terminal blocks for I/O to Logic Solvers. SISNet Repeaters provide communication between Logic Solvers that are attached to different controllers. Fiber optic cable/ring SISNet Repeaters connected to one DeltaV Controller communicate with SISNet Repeaters connected to a different controller over a fiber-optic ring. Terminated one-wide carriers terminate the local peer bus at the final carrier. The following figure shows a schematic diagram of how the DeltaV SIS hardware is connected to a DeltaV control system.

Installing Your DeltaV Safety Instrumented

DeltaV SIS Software


The DeltaV SIS software components are integrated with the DeltaV software. Enabling DeltaV SIS from System Preferences adds SIS objects to the DeltaV Explorer and Control Studio so you can configure DeltaV SIS Logic Solvers and SIS modules. For example, the following figure shows DeltaV Explorer after DeltaV SIS has been enabled and some configuration has been completed.

Explorer Hierarchy with DeltaV SIS Enabled The most obvious difference when DeltaV SIS is enabled is the appearance of the SIS Network. The SIS Network contains the Logic Solvers (SLS1 and SLS2 in the figure). Each Logic Solver contains the configuration information (assigned SIS modules, I/O configuration, alarms, and secure parameters) that will ultimately be downloaded to a physical Logic Solver card. The other noticeable differences (in this figure) are the icons for Logic Solver cards (C01) and SIS module (SIFEXMPL). Enabling DeltaV SIS also adds SIS items to Library and Setup. In Control Studio, the enhancements to accommodate DeltaV SIS include the addition of the SIS module and template types and a set of SIS palettes. The changes appear when creating or editing an SIS module as shown in the following figure.

Control Studio Containing a SIS Module SIS modules are always function block diagrams. SIS module palettes provide TUV-certified SIS function blocks and other objects. In general, the tasks required to configure a Logic Solver and an SIS module are: In DeltaV Explorer: 1. 2. 3. 4. Create or auto-sense a Logic Solver card (under the controller I/O subsystem) Create a Logic Solver (under the SIS network) Assign the Logic Solver to the Logic Solver card Commission the Logic Solver

From Control Studio 1. 2. 3. Create an SIS module Add function blocks, alarms and so on to the module and save. Assign the module to the Logic Solver.

In DeltaV Explorer: 1. Download the Logic Solver. SIS Configuration and Steps to Implement DeltaV SIS .

For more information on configuring SIS Logic Solvers and SIS modules refer to

Operating DeltaV SIS


DeltaV Operate includes an SIS module faceplate, SIS function block faceplates, an SIS Data Entry Expert, and several SIS dynamos you can use to create or augment operator displays. The faceplates and dynamos provide information on the state of the DeltaV SIS and allow operators with sufficient privilege to perform tasks such as bypassing a sensor for maintenance. Any online changes to DeltaV SIS parameters use a secure write mechanism that ensures that the messages get to the intended destination without corruption. The mechanism also requires that the operator confirm the change.

DeltaV SIS Documentation


The DeltaV SIS documentation includes this book and the DeltaV SIS Safety Manual. The information in this book documents only the features and tasks in DeltaV SIS that are unique or different than that in standard DeltaV systems. To configure and operate a safety instrumented system with DeltaV SIS you use the same tools used by a DeltaV process control system. Features and tasks that are common to both DeltaV SIS and basic DeltaV systems are covered in the standard DeltaV documentation. If you are not already familiar with DeltaV systems, please read the DeltaV Getting Started manual to learn how to use the DeltaV engineering tools.

Although DeltaV SIS uses DeltaV engineering tools, and the features and tasks required to design, implement, and operate a safety instrumented system with DeltaV SIS are similar to the tasks required to implement a process control system with basic DeltaV systems, there are differences between the two. These differences are explained throughout this book in two different ways: Features and tasks that are similar for both basic DeltaV systems and DeltaV SIS are explained by exception. That is, this document explains only the differences and refers to the DeltaV documentation for general information. The User Manager is one example of a feature in this category. Features and tasks that are unique to DeltaV SIS or that differ greatly between a basic DeltaV system and DeltaV SIS are explained in full. The DeltaV SIS function blocks are an example of a feature in this category. The DeltaV SIS documentation (except the DeltaV SIS Safety Manual) is included as a book within the standard DeltaV Books Online. The DeltaV SIS book contains the information you need to implement and operate a safety instrumented system. If you need information on basic DeltaV configuration or operation, refer to the DeltaV Books Online. The DeltaV SIS Safety Manual contains additional information on DeltaV SIS. The DeltaV SIS Safety Manual is distributed on the DeltaV Documentation Library CD.
