Recorded Webinars: Process and Design Safety Requirements Specifications Implementation in exSILentia
The Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) is a key document in the functional safety lifecycle that conveys requirements between phases of the lifecycle. The SRS requirements in the 2016 version of the IEC 61511 standard have been significantly improved over the original requirements in the 2003 edition of the standard. The exSILentia team has implemented the 2016 requirements in the exSILentia software. The initial SRS is typically referred to as the Process SRS as it documents the requirements from the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) on the conceptual design of the SIS and SIFs. In addition to this initial or Process SRS, the exSILentia software also contains a Design SRS. The latter documents the requirements that result from the conceptual design and that apply to the detailed design.
This webinar will review the implementation of the SRS in exSILentia and identify key integration aspects of the software that will make compiling each unique SIFs requirements significantly more efficient. The webinar will also look at the Design SRS and specific aspects addressed by this document.

Recorded Webinars: CACE – IEC 62443 Personnel Automation Cybersecurity Path
Which road should you take?
Cybersecurity attacks on industrial control systems (ICS) are now considered a credible risk. Due to this risk, the demand for Cybersecurity Automation Personnel Certification per IEC 62443 is greatly increasing. The question now becomes, which path is best suited for you in your organization/company? How do you get the most out of your certification? This presentation will describe the different Cybersecurity paths for personnel per IEC 62443 for those seeking Certification.
Blog Entry: Burner Management Systems (BMS) and IEC 61511
Prescriptive BMS standards contain a wealth of knowledge on combustion hazards, unit sequence of operation, and the equipment configuration required for combustion safeguards and combustion control. This experience cannot be overlooked; there is just not a Safety Lifecycle to tie in the Functional Safety Management of the BMS. That being…
