Advanced Design and SIL Verification (EC54)

This course focuses on more detailed design issues and further hands-on examples of system analysis/modeling. Students will be better able to perform system design and analysis thus saving their companies time and money in optimizing system designs. This course will enable you to analyze any system technology and configuration to see if it will meet the required SIL (Safety Integrity Level) and determine if existing systems are safe enough, if they need to be upgraded, and whether proposed systems will meet the performance requirements. You will also be able to determine the optimum manual test interval for any system, saving your company time and money by not over- or under-testing systems.

You will be able to:

  • Analyze any system technology and configuration to see if it will meet the required SIL (Safety Integrity Level)
  • Determine if existing systems are safe enough (or whether they need to be upgraded) and whether proposed systems will meet the performance requirements
  • Determine the optimum manual test interval for any system, saving your company time and money by not over or under-testing systems

You will cover:

  • System Modeling/Analysis Hands-On Advanced Examples: Multiple Examples with Different Field Device Technologies | Configurations | Diagnostic Levels | Test Intervals | Common Cause Factors | Imperfect Manual Testing
  • Detailed Design Topics: Fault Tolerance | Safe Failure Fraction | Diagnostic Coverage | Confidence Limits | System Response to Faults | Using Devices for Control and Safety | Non Fail-Safe Design Requirements | Interface Requirements
