Why Automating Safety Instrumented Systems Is Only Part of the Safety Story

Oct. 2, 2024

Today, petrochemical plants and refineries are beginning to integrate automated Safety Instrumented System (SIS) solutions to enhance operational integrity, expedite startup and commissioning and enable continuous safety monitoring to minimize unscheduled shutdowns.

While SIS solutions undoubtedly hold great promise, they must be tested and validated to ensure that they are reliable. The best way to make certain this has been done properly is to have test tools validated by a recognized certification body like TÜV. Unlike other proofs of validation, TÜV certification proves every product, service, and process that comprises the SIS solution has undergone rigorous testing and evaluation overseen by experts who ensure specific safety, quality and performance standards are met.

Schneider Electric has gone the extra mile to make sure its EcoStruxure Triconex safety validator for SIS automation is reliable by testing it to established standards overseen by TÜV. The Triconex Safety Validator application automates the verification of application logic in Triconex controllers and automatically documents results, saving time and resources. 

Download the article below for Schneider Electric’s insights about why authenticating and validating the automated functional testing of SIS solutions is foundationally critical to providing adequate risk reduction in downstream facilities.
