Benefits The World’s first smart SIS. Research shows that over 85% of all faults in SIS applications occur in field instruments and final control elements. The DeltaV SIS system has the first smart Logic Solver. It communicates with intelligent field devices using the HART protocol to diagnose faults before they cause spurious trips. This approach increases process availability and reduces lifecycle costs. Integrated yet separate. Safety standards insist on separation of the control and safety systems in order to remove any possibility of a common failure affecting both layers of protection. End users require an integrated configuration, maintenance, and operations environment. The DeltaV SIS system has a unique solution to this problem; implementing safety functions with dedicated hardware, software, and networks while being seamlessly integrated at the workstations. Easy Compliance with IEC 61511. IEC 61511 demands rigorous user management and the DeltaV SIS platform provides it. IEC 61511 requires that any changes made from an HMI (e.g. to a trip limit) be extensively vetted to ensure that the right data is written to the right Logic Solver. The DeltaV SIS system automatically provides this data verification. Scales to fit any size application. Whether you have an isolated wellhead or a large ESD/fire and gas application, the DeltaV SIS system scales to provide you with the safety coverage you need for your SIL 1. 2 and 3 safety functions. Each Logic Solver has dual CPUs and sixteen channels of I/O built into it. This means that no additional processors will ever be required to expand the system, since each Logic Solver contains its own CPUs. Scan rate and memory usage are constant and independent of system size. The DeltaV SIS system scales to fit your safety application. SIL 3-rated. DeltaV SLS 1508 Logic Solvers are installed in redundant pairs for increased process availability of your SIS loops. A redundant SLS 1508 Logic Solver Redundant architecture includes: dedicated redundancy link separate power supply to each Logic Solver I/O published locally every scan on redundant peerto-peer link same input data for each Logic Solver Online addition of Logic Solvers. The system checks for new hardware every scan, so equipment can be added to an on-line system in real time. Online addition of new logic solvers means your process does not get interrupted. As new equipment is added, the DeltaV Explorer software recognizes it and makes it ready to be configured.
Product Description This section provides general information on DeltaV SIS hardware. Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV Digital Automation System manual for more information on DeltaV system equipment. DeltaV SIS Equipment A DeltaV automation system consists of carriers, one or more I/O subsystems, controllers, power supplies, workstations, and a control network. The DeltaV SIS system consists of: Redundant Logic Solvers (SLS 1508) and termination blocks SISnet Repeaters (see separate product data sheet) Carrier extender cables Local peer bus extender cables Right 1-wide carrier with termination Logic Solvers (SLS1508) contain the logic-solving capability and provide an interface to 16 I/O channels that can be configured as Discrete Input, Discrete Output, Analog Input (HART) and HART two-state output channels. Logic Solvers and termination blocks install on the 8-wide carrier. Logic Solvers communicate with each other through the carriers over a two-channel, local peer bus (SISnet) and remote peer ring. Local Logic Solvers are hosted by the same DeltaV controller and remote Logic Solvers are hosted by a different DeltaV controller. Logic Solvers are powered by a 24 V DC power supply that is separate from the power supply that drives the DeltaV controller and I/O. Logic Solvers install in oddnumbered slots (1.3.5.7) on the 8-wide carrier. Redundant Logic Solvers use four slots. SISnet Repeaters extend communication beyond the local Logic Solvers connected to one DeltaV controller and broadcast global messages to remote Logic Solvers through a fiber-optic ring Carrier extender cables extend Local Bus power and signals between 8-wide carriers. Local peer bus extender cables extend the local peer bus (SISnet) between Logic Solvers on different carriers. 1- wide carriers with terminators terminate the local peer bus at the final carrier. Communication Control Network: The DeltaV Control Network provides communication between the nodes in the DeltaV network. Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV Digital Automation System manual for complete information on the Control Network. Local Bus: The Local Bus provides communication between DeltaV controllers and Logic Solvers and between DeltaV controllers and SISnet Repeaters. Local Peer Bus (SISnet): Logic Solvers communicate with other Logic Solvers and with local SISnet Repeaters through the carriers over a 2 channel local peer bus. The same message is broadcast over both channels. The local peer bus must be terminated at both ends. The local peer bus is terminated at the left end through the 2-wide power/controller carrier and at the right end through a terminated 1-wide carrier. The SISnet Repeaters can be located anywhere on a local peer bus – between the DeltaV Controller(s) and the terminated 1-wide carrier. Remote Peer Ring: SISnet Repeaters hosted by one DeltaV controller communicate with SISnet Repeaters hosted by a different DeltaV controller over a fiber-optic remote peer ring. A local SISnet Repeater collects locally generated messages that have been designated as global variables into a single message and sends it to the next SISnet Repeater in the ring. Upon receipt of a message, the receiving SISnet Repeater broadcasts it on its local peer bus (SISnet) and forwards the message to the next SISnet Repeater in the ring. A global message is forwarded around the ring once. The primary SISnet Repeaters form one fiber-optic ring and the secondary form a separate, independent ring. Carrier extender cables and local peer bus extender cables connecting a DeltaV controller and 8-wide carrier with standard DeltaV I/O and DeltaV SIS Logic Solvers to a second 8-wide carrier (hosted by the same controller) are installed with Logic Solvers, SISnet Repeaters, and a terminated 1-wide carrier. Logic Solver messages are communicated to a remote DeltaV SIS (hosted by a separate controller) through fiber-optic cables.
Unique Redundancy Methodology Introduction to Redundancy Unlike other SIS Logic Solvers, the SLS 1508 is rated suitable for use in SIL 3 applications in simplex mode. Redundant SLS 1508 Logic Solvers run in parallel at all times. Both read the inputs from the I/O terminals, both execute the logic and both drive the outputs at the I/O terminals. There is no concept of primary and backup or master and slave, which is unlike any other SIS. The only difference between the two is that one communicates with both the engineering and operator workstations and the dedicated safety network (SISnet); this is the one with the Active light on the bezel. The other (Standby) is communicating only on the SISnet. In the event that a failure is detected in one of the SLS 1508 Logic Solvers, it automatically goes to a failed state. In this condition all its output channels are de-energized; this has no impact on the other Logic Solver or the physical outputs because the other Logic Solver continues to read inputs, execute logic and drive outputs. The transition from redundant to simplex mode is therefore completely bumpless. Redundancy The redundant SLS 1508 Logic Solver modules are connected to the field at the redundant terminal block. No control strategy configuration is required to take advantage of SLS 1508 Logic Solver redundancy, as the system’s auto-sense capability automatically recognizes the redundant pair of Logic Solvers. An integrity error alarm in a redundant Logic Solver pair will notify the operator of a failure. Both Logic Solvers in a redundant pair are monitored for integrity alarms at all times. Events that can cause integrity alarms include: Hardware failure within a Logic Solver Communications failure between a Logic Solver and the SISnet Communications failure between a redundant pair of Logic Solvers Communications failure between a Logic Solver and an DeltaV Controller Removal of a Logic Solver from the carrier The health and status of both Logic Solvers and their channels are available in the diagnostics explorer. When one of a redundant pair of SLS 1508 Logic Solvers is removed online there is no disturbance to the process. When the missing Logic Solver is replaced with another Logic Solver, the new Logic Solver completes its power-up self-tests before the active Logic Solver cross-loads the current database. In safe areas, failed Logic Solvers can be replaced under power. In hazardous areas, appropriate installation procedures must be followed. Automatic proof testing can be selected on a redundant pair of Logic Solvers. The desired proof-test interval is set in the configuration and the Logic Solvers perform the proof test automatically. A warning is given to the operator before the automatic proof test is started. Sequence of Events Capability With DeltaV SIS, events are automatically generated as function blocks are executed within a module scan. Events are time stamped with a resolution of <1 ms, and they are recorded in the sequence that they occur in the Event Chronicle. When using standard function blocks such as input blocks, voter blocks, and cause and effect blocks, a standard set of events are automatically generated without special configuration or programing required. For example, I/O failures, trip limits, first outs, and other similar events are automatically time stamped by function blocks and recorded in the Event Chronicle. When a process variable exceeds the trip limit, DeltaV SIS records the event along with the analog value and the trip condition. In general, when there is a plant event that triggers an emergency shutdown from the SIS, one input will exceed a trip limit on one scan and this will cause outputs to trip and more inputs will then change state. Sequence of Events Recording has been used to find that first input that caused the trip by looking at all of the inputs in the plant. With the DeltaV SIS system, the operator simply filters the Event Chronicle for first out trips, and the first-out is clearly visible. If higher resolution is required for some channels then they can be wired to both the DeltaV SIS Logic Solver and also to a DeltaV Discrete Input Card for Sequence of Events, which provides a resolution of 0.25 ms.
