Design of SIFs and SIL Calculation (version v2)

Design of Safety Instrumented Functions and

verification of SIL and MTTFS based on practical

examples of safety functions in the process

industry. Comparison of different designs and

generation of reports. Most important parts of the

Safety Instrumented System Life Cycle.

Who is it for?

Students, technicians, designers, system integrators

and engineers related to Functional Safety and Safety

Instrumented Systems (SIS) of the process industry.

It is advisable to have certain knowledge of

instrumentation and control.

Course Objetive

The objective is to acquire knowledge to understand

and design Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) from a

totally practical point of view. For this, all the concepts

on Functional Safety are reviewed, as well as the main

parameters are explained in detail. Real examples are

made with the SILcet tool that allows to calculate the

SIL based on the three requirements of the IEC-

61511/61508 Standard, as well as compare different

design alternatives.

What to expect from the Course

Understand what a SIF is and what concepts and parameters are the most influencing its design.

Learn how to design a SIF and calculate the SIL and MTTFS of real Safety Functions in the process industry.

Benefit from Lessons Learned and Best Practices acquired from Major Projects.

Methodology

Course in English

Duration: 16 to 30 hours (depends on participant experience). Free access to virtual campus “Schoology” 24/7, during 60 days.

Individual Progress. Self-paced training.

Methodology "learn by doing" with many practical examples.

Note: Participants with PC can perform the exercises with the SILcet tool included in the course.

Documentation and Tools

PDF documents with slides of the course modules.

Excel files (SILcet) with the actual calculations of the

practical examples of the course.

License SILcet Pro Plus included (6 months).

SILcet User Manual and detailed document on the

formulas for calculating PFDavg and MTTFS.

Videos with explanations.

Instructor Support.

Exercises, evaluation tests & training certificate.

Note: students can download all documentation except videos.

COURSE CONTENT (online)




Contents

Module 1

-Concepts about SIS, SIF, SIL and the life cycle.

International Standards Relationship between IEC-61508

and IEC-61511.

-Risk concepts and how to reduce them with the different

layers of protection. Requirements and examples of the IPL.

-Interpretation of the principle of independence of the SIS

according to IEC Standards. Examples

-Basic concepts about Process Hazards Analysis

techniques. Qualitative method exercise for the

determination of SIL.

Module 2

-Detailed analysis of the SIF. Sensor, logic solver and

actuator subsystems.

-Types of failures, practical examples in the 3 subsystems

and their impact (safe, dangerous, detected & not detected,

common cause, etc.)

-Types of diagnostics (product and application) and real

examples in the three subsystems (PVST, 4-20 mA signals,

short circuit, line monitoring, use of the Hart, etc.)

-PLC: "fail-safe" versus standard.
