Safety Instrumented System Applications

Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems: Interface DeltaV SIS logic solvers with pneumatic shutdown valves, motor-operated isolation valves, and emergency depressurization systems. The relay module provides hardwired, fail-safe outputs that de-energize upon safety system activation, ensuring valves move to their safe state (typically closed) during emergency conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, or toxic gas detection.

Fire & Gas Detection Systems: Actuate fire suppression deluge valves, foam system activation, and emergency ventilation dampers in response to fire or combustible gas detection. The 2.5A relay contacts drive solenoid valves controlling water deluge systems, CO2 flooding systems, and foam concentrate injection valves, providing the critical interface between detection logic and suppression equipment.

Burner Management Systems (BMS): Control fuel gas isolation valves, pilot gas valves, and ignition systems in fired heaters, boilers, and process furnaces. The SIL-certified relay outputs ensure fuel supply is positively isolated during unsafe conditions including flame failure, low combustion air pressure, or high furnace pressure, preventing explosive atmospheres and equipment damage.

High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS): Actuate fast-acting isolation valves protecting downstream equipment from overpressure conditions. The relay module provides the final voting element in 1oo2 or 2oo3 architectures, ensuring valve closure occurs within the required response time to prevent pressure vessel rupture or pipeline failure.

Turbine Overspeed Protection: Trip steam turbines, gas turbines, and compressor trains during overspeed conditions. The relay contacts interrupt fuel supply, activate emergency braking systems, and close steam admission valves, protecting rotating equipment from catastrophic failure due to governor malfunction or load rejection.

SIL-Certified Safety Architecture

Critical features ensuring functional safety compliance:

• Proven-in-Use Technology: Relay contact technology with decades of field history in safety applications
• Positive Mechanical Action: Force-guided relay contacts ensure predictable failure modes
• Diagnostic Coverage: Integrated diagnostics detect relay coil failures and contact welding
• Fail-Safe Design: De-energize-to-trip architecture ensures safe state upon power loss or module failure
• Systematic Capability: SIL 3 systematic capability per IEC 61508 for use in SIL 2/3 applications

Installation Requirements & Safety Guidelines

Critical requirements for maintaining safety integrity:

Hazardous Area Installation: Module removal or insertion MUST NOT occur while system power is energized UNLESS the area is verified as non-hazardous. This requirement protects against sparking hazards in classified areas and ensures safety system integrity is not compromised during maintenance activities.

Proof Testing Requirements: Periodic proof testing must be performed according to the safety instrumented function (SIF) proof test interval calculated during SIL verification. Proof tests verify relay contact operation, coil resistance, and diagnostic functionality to detect dangerous undetected failures and maintain the required safety integrity level.

Wiring Segregation: Safety relay outputs must be wired separately from non-safety circuits to prevent common cause failures. Use dedicated conduit, cable trays, and terminal blocks for SIS wiring to maintain independence from basic process control system (BPCS) circuits and prevent inadvertent cross-connections.

Documentation Requirements: Maintain complete as-built drawings, proof test procedures, and maintenance records as required by IEC 61511 for process industry safety instrumented systems. Document all module replacements, proof test results, and any deviations from design specifications to support safety lifecycle management.
