Rockwell Automation introduced its new OptiSIS solution, designed to provide industrial operators with a pre-engineered safety instrumented system that can help ease deployment and reduce lead times for small and midsized process applications. The OptiSIS solution is suited for oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical producers with aging process-safety systems that are either noncompliant or can no longer be maintained.
The OptiSIS solution is designed for safety instrumented system applications of 50 or 100 I/O points, including emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, burner-management systems (BMS), and high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS). The version for applications of up to 100 I/O points will be available in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The pre-engineered OptiSIS solution is delivered ready to install, wire and configure, helping to both shorten the overall engineering time and eliminate the need for additional programming. Users only enter their logic scenarios into the system's cause-and-effect graphical interface. The configurations are tested and can then be stored for verification against original safety function requirements, or used at a later date to restore the system to a known state.
Flexible inputs and outputs help to confirm that the system accommodates a varying mix of digital and analog I/O types. Additionally, simplex I/O and fault-tolerant (dual) I/O versions are available to address different redundancy needs.
The system meets requirements up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) and is compliant with IEC 61511/ISA 84.00.01. It uses ready-to-install, TUV-certified hardware and validated application software.
