0:06 Welcome to this Application Explainer video, part of our Instrumented Systems topic range.
0:11 In this video, we’ll cover the subject of configuring a safety instrumented system in SLM within the SLM Instrumented Systems module.
0:20 Safety Instrumented Systems may be built as a grouping of functions where, per IEC 61511, an SIS may be used to implement one or more Sifs and may include other functions or actions.
0:35 The following information will be covered in this training.
0:38 Chapter one will be creating and viewing an SIS.
0:41 Chapter 2 will be linking functions to an SIS, and Chapter 3 will be printing an SIS SRS.
0:53 In Chapter 1, we’ll be covering how to create a new SIS object and things to consider.
0:59 ANSIS is a grouping of one or more functions, but it’s not necessary for all other SLM SIF functionality.
1:07 Within the Instrumented Systems module, a Safety Instrumented System Object or SIS may be created under the Unit Level object.
1:23 The SIS may be specified to contain only a single safety instrumented function, or it may contain any combination of other functions and types of functions within the same unit where the SIS resides.
1:38 Additionally, an SIS may exist within multiple units while containing functions from each unit.
1:45 Placing a function within an SIS existing in multiple units will not result in the function existing in other units.
1:52 Only that thesis itself is shared between the units and covers functions from each process unit.
2:03 In Chapter 2, we’ll be covering how to link appropriate functions to an SIS and things to consider sharing SIS and functions within Thesis between units.
2:15 Once Thesis is created and linked to all appropriate units, the functions to be implemented within it may be selected.
2:23 The simplest way to do this is open the Related Functions field to edit, place a check next to the functions to be edited, and click on Save.
2:37 This table may also be used to search for the function ID if it is known.
2:48 Or an alternative approach to linking functions to an SIS may also be to simply drag and drop functions to the sys just within the object tree.
3:03 If any mistake is made in linking functions, they will also be unlinked just as easily within the same relational Functions field.
3:15 By unchecking them from the list and clicking Save once more.
3:26 In Chapter 3, we’ll be covering how to export the SIS SRS report.
3:32 Things to consider.
3:33 The reports may be sent through e-mail instead of being generated directly in the system.
3:39 With the SIS now created and the function that covers identified, various fields are available to be entered across the separate view tabs.
3:50 The fields within each of these views, as they are entered, will populate the sys SRS available from the Print Out View tab or from the SISSRS Print Out report here in the Instrumented Systems module.
4:15 To export the report, simply click on the Print button from the Print Out View tab on the SIS object and the system will send an e-mail with a link to download the report.
4:29 Or from the SIS SRS Print Out report view, select the appropriate site, unit and SIS ID options and click Generate for the system to do the same.
4:50 When it completes this task, the notification will be sent to your account’s e-mail, where you’ll be able to download the file directly from the systems page.
