    Study Notes

    Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)

    • SIS examples include Critical Control Systems, Safety Shutdown Systems, Instrument Protective Function (IPF), Equipment Protection Systems, and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD)

    International Standards for SIS

    • IEC 61508: applicable for manufacturers of devices used in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
    • IEC 61511: "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector"
    • ISA 84.01-2004: identical to IEC 61511, "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector"

    Classification of SIS

    • SIS are classified according to their applicable Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
    • SIL is a measure of the performance of a Safety System under demand

    Maintenance Strategies

    Preventive Maintenance

    • Benefits: cost savings, operational continuity, extended lifecycle, optimized performance, energy cost savings, safety, and compliance
    • Example: conveyor belt maintenance in a manufacturing setting

    Predictive Maintenance (RCM)

    • Measures the beginning of system degradation and predicts future functional capability
    • Uses real-time data to map out possible machine breakdowns and identify maintenance needs
    • Benefits: efficiency, cost reduction, minimized overhauls, and prevention of sudden failures

    Reactive Maintenance

    • No preventive measures are taken to keep equipment operating as intended by its design
    • Maintenance is only done when equipment shows indications of failure
    • Advantages: cost-effective in the short term, reduction in upfront maintenance expenses
    • Disadvantages: increased downtime costs, higher labor costs, and overtime

    Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF)

    • Can be implemented using several SIF depending on the safety requirement
    • Examples: pressure relief valve, pressure/vacuum valve, and rapture disc
