Recorded Webinars: Commissioning Barrier Devices
This webinar will focus on activities performed after the Cybersecurity Vulnerability Assessment is complete and the recommendations to segment your network have been made. We will review multiple manufacturers product offerings, evaluate selection criteria, and delve into the actual process taken to isolate critical devices from the general control network. Actual network traffic screen shots will be used to demonstrate the steps that will be required to identify and isolate the devices from unwanted traffic while allowing necessary traffic to pass to the devices.

Recorded Webinars: Data: The Good, Bad, and Dangerous
This webinar will discuss:
• What data is considered “good”
• What data is considered “bad”
• Engineering ethics and the use of “bad” data
• How bad data can become dangerous data with higher consequences
• Legal ramifications (your company) of using bad data
• Legal ramifications (you) of using bad data
Blog Entry: You Need a Checklist!
At least I do. Sometimes I wonder how I could forget certain things. Maybe it’s age? Maybe it’s information overload? It’s always apparent when I get ready to go on vacation. You’ve probably been in the same situation… arriving at your destination only to find that the one thing you…

Recorded Webinars: Going Green: Alarm Management for Greenfield Projects
Alarm Management was often neglected in the past until after installation and commissioning of the control system. This led to alarm overload, nuisance alarms, turning off of the alarm system, and some dangerous start-ups. It is no longer acceptable in today’s environment for many end users to start up without having applied alarm management best practices beforehand (e.g., EEMUA 191 and ISA-18.2). It is becoming increasingly common to perform alarm rationalization, a process for determining which alarms are valid / necessary and documenting their priority / limit / cause / consequence / corrective action, early in a project such as during FEED.
This webinar will present:
- A brief overview on the “state” of alarm management
- Discuss some of the challenges of applying alarm management to Greenfield projects when the process design (P&IDs), safety design (HAZOP, LOPA), and control system configuration are taking place in parallel
- Will highlight how to manage alarms when they are used as safeguards and layers of protection

Recorded Webinars: Introducing the SILStat Field Data Collection Program
SILStat™ is exida’s Life Event Recorder tool. It allows you to capture key operational and maintenance data (such as equipment failures, process demands, success or failure of protection layers, proof test results, etc.,) for review and analysis as required by the IEC 61511 / ISA 84.00.01-2004 standards and as part of compliance with an OSHA PSM Mechanical Integrity Program.
This webinar will provide an overview of the SILStat software and review its capabilities and data analysis concepts.
Blog Entry: Random vs. Systematic?
Most of you know that exida gathers field failure data from many sources including manufacturers’ warranty return data and end user maintenance/failure records. At this point we have nearly 100 billion unit operating hours of data. This is probably the largest process industry data set in the world. And we…

Recorded Webinars: SIL Verification Using exSILentia
The exSILentia® safety lifecycle tool incorporates SILver™, a SIL verification tool. The SILver tool has an extensive Markov Model based calculation engine and incorporates the exida Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook (SERH). This webinar will provide an overview of the SILver tool, the three SIL levels that are determined as part of SIL verification, and the various parameters involved.

exida, the global leader in functional safety certification for the process industries, has certified KOSO America, Inc.’s REXA Xpac for functional safety , to help ensure that it meets the functional safety requirements for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 capability per IEC 61508: 2010. “KOSO’s capabilities were confirmed through an…
Blog Entry: Still Using Excel to do PFD Calculations?
It’s very interesting to me to find that people are still using excel to do PFD calculations. Whereas this is probably okay for simple single element architectures (i.e. single sensor, single logic solver and single final element), it becomes extremely complicated when dealing with redundant architectures. Moreover, for performing SIL…
Recorded Webinars: Introduction to Process Hazard Analysis using HAZOP
This webinar covers the HAZOP methodology in the context of the overall process safety management lifecycle. It first provides a high level overview of the process hazards analysis (PHA) work process, detailing process safety management (PSM) expectations for the PHA. Process safety information is covered, explaining how it is needed in order to conduct the review and management of change (MOC) is shown in the overall PHA work process to illustrate the relationship between PHA and MOC. With the foundation set, details of the HAZOP methodology, including report documentation are presented.

Recorded Webinars: Field Failure Data Analysis Methods
Operational data collected from process automation systems can be analyzed to accomplish many goals including improved safety, and minimized down time. However, data collection methods can vary substantially. This can impact the results by an order of magnitude. This web seminar describes the exida “Predictive Analytics” analysis method which uses benchmark limits to detect and correct problems in data collection methods. The exida Predictive Analytic benchmark limits are based on nearly 100 billion unit operating hours of field data from the process industries. Examples are shown where potentially misleading data analysis results were detected and corrected preventing potentially dangerous changes to safety equipment design.
