The more complex the plant, the greater the risk of safety-related faults: Endress+Hauser offer an extensive range of SIL-qualified and certified instruments that meet even the most stringent plant safety requirements. Among our SIL products, you will definitely find the optimal technology for your measurement task. You can rely on the know-how of our experts for the design and calculation of safety loops, for commissioning or for the documented functional testing of SIL devices.

To SIL device overview

Proof-testing of PCS safety instrumented systems, which usually takes place annually, is associated with considerable costs for plant operators. Flowmeters, for example, are often removed and recalibrated. The plant comes to a standstill and processes are interrupted. Added to this are the health risks posed by the possibility of personnel being present in the danger zone. All of this can be avoided with a reasonable level of investment! Intelligent proof test concepts and automated proof-testing eliminate the need for the costly annual proof test of safety instrumented systems (SIS).

Moderate investments in Functional Safety are sufficient to minimize random and systematic faults in plants. An efficient alternative to annual proof tests is offered by the HIMax safety controller (HIMA) in combination with Endress+Hauser's Heartbeat Technology. The HIMax always starts the automated testing at the optimal time of the plant process - without any dismantling and plant downtime! Error-free automated test results give you maximum plant availability.
Your benefit: Reduced risks, costs and enormous time savings.

Better safe than sorry: professional design, installation and commissioning of plants result in a reduction in systematic faults right from the start. Endress+Hauser supports you in the risk assessment and reduction of your plants and is your competent contact for all questions regarding Functional Safety. From the design and planning of SIS to project management and calculation of the safety loop, we offer all services from a single source.
