Cybersecurity incidents have become a credible threat to process safety, and the exposure has never been higher with 70% of Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) now using remote access. The consequences of cyber-attacks are well understood for business networks (e.g., data theft, ransomware, denial of service), but for IACS…

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…

Whenever we talk about alarm data in control systems for the process industry, we cannot avoid the management of an alarm database, else the alarm system will be a mess. Hence, we often see unorganized processes with up to thousands of alarms per day. The mishap is more than a nuisance for the daily operation of the plant, but it is also with safety implications. This is a series of webinars that aims to introduce everyone to Alarm Management based on ISA 18.2/IEC 62682, with the supplement of the fundamentals from Data Science and Data Analytics.
This week, we are talking about the root causes of alarms. We will explore the philosophy of the 5 whys in data analysis and how it is used in alarm management.

Congrats to Emerson Automation Solutions. exida recently issued an IEC 61508 functional safety certification for their FBD & FBT Control Valves. The certificate can be found on the exida SAEL here .
Realistic component failure rate data is critical to an effective Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) . This failure rate data can eventually be obtained from component parts manufacturers, research and field failure data analysis. For example, exida’s Component Reliability Database (CRD) has been built from internet research, technical…
