Safety Instrumented Systems

The Smart Approach

 The Emerson Approach to
Safety
More than ever, running your plant productively and safely requires the right technologies
and experience. With increasingly stringent regulations and international-standard best
practices, safety instrumented systems perform a critical role in providing safer, more
reliable, process operations.

The Smart Approach

Safe operations include many
aspectsmaterial handling pro-
cedures, plant operations and
safety instrumented systems
(SIS). Yesterdays SIS solutions
considered only the logic solver
and left it to your maintenance
organization to manually test
the entire safety loop.

Only Emerson Process

Management, an Emerson
business, takes a holistic new
approach by continuously
diagnosing the sensors and
logic solvers ability to perform
on demand as required for a
smart SIS solution. Now you can
minimize the costly practices
of ongoing manual proof tests
with the embedded predictive
diagnostics and the digital
communications of the
PlantWeb architecture.

When it comes to safety applica-
tions like emergency shutdown
and burner management systems,
our trained global professional
safety personnel and project

the knowledge to perform and
expertise to assist you with

design, implementation, and
commissioning.

Emerson provides the only

smart, easiest-to-use, safety
instrumented system for the
lowest lifecycle cost.

 Safety First
Past solutions for safe operations may no longer be sufficient. New international standards
for safety, like IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, are prompting a re-examination of safety practices.
Planning is required to meet increased regulatory requirements across the globe.

Companies that dont plan for

and manage process operational
risks face fines, production out-
ages, equipment damage and
serious injury or loss of life. With
todays technology and best
practices, there is no reason not
to put safety first.

There are key international stan-

dards and concepts you and your
solutions providers must know
to effectively implement safer
operations. Its important that
you work with a supplier that has
safety instrumented system sen-
sors and logic solvers that meet
IEC 61508 standards to help you
follow IEC 61511 best practices.

Reduced operations and

maintenance costs
Like capital budgets, operating
and maintenance budgets are
under constant pressure. The
ideal SIS reduces operations and
maintenance costs by:
Providing a common engi-
neering and operator interface
for both BPCS and SIS
Synchronizing time and
collecting events between
BPCS and SIS
Performing continuous
diagnostics of sensors and
logic solvers.

Its important to consider

ongoing support when multiple
suppliers are involved. When
one supplier has the full range
of products and services for your
BPCS and SIS, you have only one
place to go for the answers and
support you need.

 Flexible Architecture for Any Size

Applications that require safety instrumented systems to reduce risk come in all sizes and
topologies. You need an SIS offering that can handle the smallest to the largest application
and one that has the flexibility to address widely distributed architectures.
