Automated Safety Instrumented System Validation and Testing

Presentation Overview

When implementing any safety instrumented system, rigorous testing and documentation of the application logic is a critical part of realizing any safety instrumented system. 

In today’s economic climate, everyone strives for productivity, efficiency and quality gains. The use of modern automated tools and techniques achieve faster time to quality, significantly increase the likelihood of a trouble-free factory acceptance test (FAT) and successful start-up, as well as reduce overall project life cycle cost. It is also very important to efficiently test & document management of changes (MOC) during operation of the safety instrumentation System.

With approval of international standards such as IEC61508 , IEC61511 and ANSI/ISA.S84.01 testing has become mandatory. Today, tools and processes are available to guarantee consistent, complete and documented testing of the logic, in less time than ever before.
