3 Introduction Automation technology trends : digitizing, intelligenizing, and networking large-scale, high safety, high openness, high flexibility a trend ---- Tightness in three parts. 1)Instrumentation and application become tighter, which help to provide customized solution for different object. 2) Instrumentation and operation management system become tighter, which can optimize industry chain to form a management and control integration system; 3) Instrumentation and improving economic benefits become tighter. Companies achieve economic benefits by using process optimizing software and advanced control arithmetic 3

4 Safety is the eternal theme of industrial production the main risk in industrial field: fire, explosion environmental pollution, poisoning, ambustion, electric shock, noise, suffocation, toppling from the heights and so on mechanical harm How to ensure safety when equipment get into failure? ----functional safety can protect equipment from risk 4

5 Risk reduction----multi-layer protection How to reduce the risk? Community Emergency Response Plant Emergency Response Physical Protection (Dikes) Physical Protection (Relief Devices) Safety Instrumented System Alarms, Operator Intervention Basic Process Control Process 5

6 SIS are widely used in safety system to achieve functional safety. to the risk which caused by unintended failure of SIS itself How can we evaluate the probability of risk which caused by SIS? - make the assessment of functional safety of SIS. 6

7 The extend and application situation abroad Some countries in Europe and North America have already brought functional safety technology into regulation. World famous companies (such as Shell, Dow, Mobil, Singapore Petroleum ) have gained achievement by using standards; 2000, Petronas required new project to use IEC 61508/61511 standards, and assess in service equipments; 2001, Shell published related mandatory application regulations inside company; Some famous company like BASF, Linda set SIS assessment as premise of equipment start-up. 7

8 Promoting and application situation in China Since 1999, Tracking IEC standard, and map out series functional safety related recommended occupation standards and national standards. And the technology has already extended and applied in petrification engineering project by popularization and extension. 2004, the government started up dangerous chemistry producing, using, storage, transporting company safety certification regulation. Define the assessment regulations which based upon life cycle (Establish assessment, acceptance assessment, Status quo assessment), SIS has became one of important safety assessment methods in hazardous and harmful factors in process industry. 8

9 Promoting and application situation in China(cont.) 2009 June, State Administration of Safety Work established the safety control Strategy for first 15 key supervision danger chemical industry technologies (such as phosgene and phosgenation technology, hydrogenation technology, polymerization technology), ---defined the functional safety requirements (no SIL requirements), this is the milestone of China government in mandatory promoting SIS application and supervision.(2010 year-end finished rectification) After the publication of GB/T20438:2006, GB/T :2007, GB/T<Petrochemical Industry Safety Instrument System Design Specification>will be published in And then elevator, medical apparatus and instruments, nuclear power plants are also formulating related GB standards. 9

10 Problems Accidents occur a lot. Research indicates that, loss of safety instrument systems or defects are the main causes of invocating process industry accidents. The fundamental reason is : lack of consciousness, not allinclusive in knowledge, no manual for operation, lay particular stress on analyze and implementation, ignore verification and validation, blindness, voluntary, and ignore in service management. For example, in a city, 26 of the investigated 100 devices do not have SIS or interlock protection.. 10

11 Functional Safety Research in SIPAI Instrumentation (SIPAI). National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for Products of Process Automation Instrumentation. Reliability Technology center of Instrumentation of the Machinery Industry. We have 30 years experience in reliability researching, with the basis of project, accumulate 6 years functional safety technology, Published (functional safety Basis) and other monographs. Convene work shop with SIEMENS for many times. 2007, become the only technology institute with functional safety assessment capability in China. 11

13 Functional Safety Assessment 1) The objective of functional safety assessment investigate and decide which level of functional safety can E/E/PE safety related system meet. 2) Standard and specification of functional safety assessment. IEC 61508; and standards in related area such as IEC ) The objective of functional safety assessment All staffs, life cycle activities, information related to equipment and equipment itself. 4) Method for functional safety Assessment Products developed according to IEC and proven in use. 13

14 Functional Safety Assessment (cont.) 5) The content of functional safety assessment: 1 functional safety management. To ensure the effectiveness of necessary functional safety management activities. 2 Determine the SIL. Whether SIS or safety instrument meet the required SIL (Hardware and Software) 3Special environment compliance testing. Performance and environment compliance (Climate, EMC and so on ) 6) functional safety assessment point and frequency 7) functional safety assessment plan 14

15 Safety Instrument Assessment (example) For pressure transmitter, functional safety assessment should get involved at the beginning of development the step as follows: Step 1 : Check the functional safety management of manufactory, Ensure required SIL according to system management. ----Determine management and technical activities in every phase of life cycle. ----Determine responsibility of people, department, organization for different activities of every phases during the life cycle ----Establish required functional safety management system documentation.. 15

16 Safety Instrument Assessment (cont.) Sep 2: calculation of random hardware failure rate and SFF and check of method in use. --The hardware safety integrity level depends on PFH or PFD and SFF -- Reliability prediction and FMEDA method for electric adaptation & amplify part When a type B subsystem, 1oo1 structure, SIL2 required SFF is 90%. First time analyzed, the SFF was only 61%, Result feedback to company,improve the design. Again analyses, FMEDA result of Improved design : λ SU λ SD λ DU λ DD SFF 82.2 FITs FITs 152.2FITs 90.75% 16

17 Safety Instrument Assessment (cont.) ----For sensor part, collected field data and FMEDA method when a type A subsystem, for 1oo1 structure, SIL2 required SFF is 60%. The whole running time is hours. totally 16 times failure occurred. FMEDA of sensor part λ SU λ SD λ DU λ DD SFF 49.4FITs FITs 172.8FITs 69.22% 17

18 Safety Instrument Assessment (cont.) Failure classification of pressure transmitter λ SU λ SD λ DU λ DD SFF FITs FITs 325 FITs 78.8% Probability failure in demand - PFDavg T1= 6Months T1 = 1Year T1 = 2 Year Conclusion For random hardware failure, according to IEC table 2, when T1 2 years(17520h), The pressure transmitter under 1oo1 structure could meet SIL2 requirements. 18

19 Safety Instrument Assessment (cont.) Step 3: SIL assessment for software part --As we all know, the failure of software is system failure, so, during the software safety life cycle, technology and method should be used to avoid system failure. --We followed the examine of activities during different phases of software safety life cycle --check and test of method mentioned for embedded software during the software safety life cycle, meet the SIL2 requirements. Step 4: Do the test according to testing schedule --supply performance test report and type test report (including environment test, EMC test, Electrical safety test, enclosure protection test and so on) Step 5: Issue assessment report and certification 19
