February 13, 2013 - Triconex announces Safety View software, providing the highest level of safety integrity for critical alarm and bypass management applications. It is certified by TÜV Rheinland to IEC 61508:2010 Systematic Capability 3 for use in applications up to Safety Integrity Level 3.
Safety View draws attention to changes in process conditions that require immediate attention, giving operators, maintenance engineers and shift personnel better visibility into the process so they can take actions that reduce risk, optimize total cost of ownership and increase overall asset performance. Safety View software is an operational tool that provides situational awareness of critical conditions and visibility into the process risk being managed. It provides contextual information to facilitate decision support and allows users to manage operational risk with confidence. Safety View is a PC-based HMI dedicated to safety critical alarms and is independent of the control system. It also provides an alternative to traditional hard-wired alarm annunciator panels. It supports Invensys’ family of Triconex safety instrumented systems: Tricon (SIL3), Trident (SIL3) and Triconex General Purpose (SIL2) systems. Capabilities: Safety View supports ISA 18.1 annunciator sequence and specifications:
- Sequence Code M: manual reset
- Sequence Code A: automatic reset
- Sequence Code R: ring back
Safety View allows plant personnel to:
- Acknowledge individual and group alarms;
- Reactivate alarms acknowledged by an operator during the previous work shift;
- Clear first out alarms;
- Apply and remove bypass tags;
- Add and review notes for bypassed tag names;
- Silence audible alarms;
- Reset alarms in the ring back state.
