exida Presenting and Exhibiting at the Annual Instrumentation and Automation Symposium


  January 17, 2018

exida will be presenting and exhibiting at the 73rd Annual Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries on January 23-25, 2018 in College Station, TX.  Stop by and say hello.  exida's Director of Product Development Iwan van Beurden will be presenting a paper entitled Automatic Application Program Creation based on Conceptual Design Information.

Each year, the Symposium is arranged into current critical areas of instrumentation. Topics include: Instrument Reliability, Safety Instrumented Systems, New Technology, Cyber Security and Asset Management. The Instrumentation Symposium for the Process Industries, now in its 73rd year, continues to educate professionals and students in the instrumentation industry. At the symposium, practical technical papers as well as vendor exhibits are presented with a focus on education. Over the years, the Symposium has grown in both stature and attendance, with over 490 attendees at the 2017 Symposium.

Automatic Application Program Creation based on Conceptual Design Information

The requirements for the application program of a SIF/SIS’s a logic solver are defined by the conceptual design and Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) of the SIF/SIS. Converting these requirements can be time consuming and can be prone to errors due to misinterpretation of the requirements. When the conceptual design and SRS are available in electronic format, the application program for the logic solver can be automatically generated. Apart from time savings due to automatic conversion, an additional benefit is the ability to start the logic creation process later in the project schedule avoiding costly redesign activities. This webinar will review the possibilities of automatic application program creation and demonstrate some early results of a development project the exSILentia team is working on.
