Recorded Webinars: Automatic Configuration of Safety Logic with the DeltaV SIS Configurator
For many years exSILentia® has provided an industry leading SIL verification tool that allows users to design their safety instrumented systems by defining architecture, voting, and equipment selection and ensuring the safety integrity of each instrumented function. Now it is possible to leverage your conceptual design specification to configure your entire safety control system with the click of a button.
With the DeltaV SIS Configurator, configuring your safety logic only takes a fraction of the time, so the SIS conceptual design can be finalized before programming begins. This eliminates any rework due to changing requirements and dramatically impacts project schedule and cost.
Recorded Webinars: IEC61511: Operations & Maintenance
This webinar looks at the changes made to the Operations and Maintenance requirements in the 2016 edition of IEC61511. This section of the standard has been “beefed up” to include more specific requirements regarding By-passing, Maximum repair time, Proof Testing, Competency, since most companies do not do a good job of following through on maintaining mechanical integrity and undertaking preventative maintenance. The webinar highlights some of these key areas and requirements, as well as discusses the benefits.

News Item: New White Paper: Getting Reliable Failure Rate Data
The discipline of Reliability Engineering depends upon a key metric, failure rate. In the past, it was practical to perform a “life test” (or an “accelerated life test”) where devices were operated in a defined set of conditions and failure times were recorded. This failure time data was analyzed to…
