Blog Entry: Should DCS Alarms be shown on P&IDs?
Alarms were originally shown on Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams / Drawings (P&IDs) to document hardware requirements for installation in a (panelboard) control room. This was important because there was limited real estate in the control room for the alarms (displayed on Panalarms and light boxes) and there was a real…
Blog Entry: If There Was ONE THING You Need to Know About Using PIU
Have a formal process for tracking, recording, and classifying field shipments and failure returns. If your product was designed well in the first place, even if strict adherence to IEC 61508 was not followed, your field failure rate should be pretty low. Using Proven-In-Use (PIU) methodology will allow an assessor…
News Item: exida Authored Article Featured in Valve Magazine’s Summer 2014 Issue
Loren Stewart, exida Safety Engineer, authored an article for the Summer 2014 issue of Valve Magazine . The article is titled “Evaluating and Proving SIS Safety Levels.” “Because the equipment used in a safety instrumented system 〈SIS〉 application has a critical job, such equipment must be carefully evaluated and justified.…
Blog Entry: How Does Culture Affect Safety?
I was reading an incident report on the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) website the other day, where it was the conclusion of the reviewing team that the incident (which sadly resulted in a loss of life) was the direct result of a poor safety culture across the organization. If you…

White Paper: Results of Statistical Analysis of Pressure Relief Valve Proof Test Data
The purpose of this document is to report on our successful efforts to validate statistically certain random equipment failure rate data used in a mechanical parts failure rate and failure mode database and, by extension, to validate the techniques used to derive the data. To accomplish this, a Failure Modes,…
White Paper: Mechanical Failure Rate Data for Low Demand Applications
The use of IEC 61508 [1] and IEC 61511 [2] has increased rapidly in the past several years. Along with the adoption of the standards has come an increase in the need for accurate reliability data for devices used in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), both electronic and mechanical. While the…
White Paper: Roadblocks to Approving SIS Equipment by Prior Use
Prior Use (Proven In Use in 61508) equipment is when a documented assessment has shown that there is appropriate evidence, based on the previous use of the component, that the component is suitable for use in a particular application of a safety instrumented system at a given integrity level. There…
White Paper: Reliability in Control Systems Software
Considering the components used in the current control systems, hardware failure causes have been widely studied. Software failure causes, on the other hand, are rarely studied or understood. In the field studies that have been done, some of the rules for software failure causes have been theorized but even those…

Recorded Webinars: DeltaV Alarm Management Solutions: Following the Alarm Management Lifecycle
This webinar presents how to create an alarm management continuous improvement program for Emerson DeltaV System Owners that follows the ISA-18.2 alarm management lifecycle. Tools will be demonstrated to analyze alarm system performance and pinpoint poorly performing alarms (DeltaV Analyze), rationalize the poor performers (SILAlarm), and automatically update the DeltaV configuration with the new alarm settings (priority, limit, hysteresis, suppression time, etc.). It also illustrates how operator alarm response procedures (containing the cause, consequence, corrective action, and time to respond) can be created automatically from the rationalization results and made available to the operator online using DeltaV Alarm Help.
