Process Safety Solutions

Protecting People, the Environment, and Critical Control Assets


Process Safety Solutions
Hazards and risks are an inevitable feature of any industrial application and process
safety is a major concern to anyone who works in the process industries. The
protection of personnel, processes, and the surrounding environment remains a
significant part of any automation strategy.

With over 50 years of safety expertise, Rockwell Automation® technology is utilized in


safety and critical control processes throughout the world. Our ICS Triplex® brand of
safety critical shutdown has been a recognized leader in process industries creating
maximum availability and reliability for a host of applications.

Rockwell Automation® technology has been utilized


in many critical control applications:
• Emergency shutdown
• Fire and gas
• Spill prevention
• HIPPS
• Burner management
• Compressor control
• Turbine control

Safety First. Safety Last.
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is engineered to perform Our scalable offerings, in both size and redundancy, allow you
“specific control functions” to fail safe or maintain safe to select the system that best meets these requirements:
operation of a process when unacceptable or dangerous • SIL Capabilities
conditions could occur. • Fail Safe and Fault Tolerance
• Performance
Rockwell Automation can help you select a process safety • Size
system – whether standalone or integrated – based on • Connectivity
required Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and your project • Flexibility
requirements.

Rockwell Automation Process Safety Offerings
Rockwell Automation provides you with multiple choices for your
process safety applications allowing you to select the right-sized system
without extra costs.

AADvance System
The AADvance® solution is a truly distributed, scalable architecture which comprises
both a hardware controller and a software environment that allows you to specify the
level of safety integrity and availability you need throughout your plant. AADvance offers
a high level of flexibility from small quantity I/O to large systems; non-safety to SIL 3, and
fail-safe to multiple fault tolerant.

Trusted System
The Trusted® solution features a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) controller. It is
designed to provide maximum safety and system availability. Trusted® uses control to
minimize system trips and provides high availability, fault tolerance and fail-safe features
as part of its intrinsic, safety-related functionality.

Trusted System
Trusted is designed to meet a wide range of safety requirements With combined Hardware Implemented Fault Tolerance (HIFT)
and maintain the highest integrity level, even in the presence of and TMR technology, Trusted can offer you the following
multiple system failures. key capabilities:
• A Safety Integrity Level of 3 (SIL3) and fault tolerant
The Trusted TMR design uses a majority voting process to • Stable, predictable operation
identify the source of a fault. Random hardware failures will cause • High capacity and high speed
one of three control ‘slices’ to react differently to the others. • Easy to use and maintain
This discrepancy will be captured and reported by the voting • High density I/O (up to 40 channels/module)
system. The Trusted TMR system will react immediately to
contain system faults, helping to ensure it meets your safety
integrity requirements.

The hardware voting technology has major


benefits including:
• High test coverage of potential faults
• Tolerance to multiple failures
• No restrictions on time-to-repair
• Accurate fault identification
• Reduced operating system size and complexity

ControlLogix SIL2
The ControlLogix® SIL2 solution provides very high levels of availability for those SIL2
Basic Process Control System and/or Process Safety System applications that cannot
tolerate a system shutdown.

Reliability by Design
Sophisticated diagnostics and high levels of reliability are standard design
in ControlLogix programmable automation controllers, I/O modules, and
communication products. It is that same, standard design that readily
provides the reliability needed to achieve SIL 2 certification.

Standard Design Yields Exceptional Savings


The ability to use standard, off-the-shelf ControlLogix solutions in SIL 2
applications helps eliminate the need for additional training and ensures
that spare parts are readily available. That is why many major petroleum
customers use ControlLogix, saving more than 80% of the cost of
other solutions.

OptiSIS Packaged Solutions
Compliant with ISA 84/IEC61511, the OptiSIS™ safety instrumented system is an ideal
solution for diverse SIS replacement/upgrade projects, utilizing an “off the shelf”
common solution. Featuring a standard logic solver capable of meeting SIL
requirements up to SIL 3, it is simpler, faster, and more cost-effective to deploy than
a custom-designed SIS solution.

Reduce Lead Times


The OptiSIS packaged solution helps reduce lead times
associated with customized safety solutions. The focus is
on configuring safety functions, rather than engineering
and safety manual compliance tasks.

• Configured from a Cause and Effect Matrix


(no programming)
• Rapid deployment to the field
• Quick installation, easy upgrades
• Reduced risk at installation (rapid verification)
• Connectivity to smart field devices and asset
management systems
