Vetting Smart Instruments for the Nuclear Industry
This whitepaper takes a detailed look at how the EMPHASIS assessment tool, which is widely used in the UK nuclear sector, can guide the development of instrumentation designed for functional safety. It outlines the structured approach used to meet the stringent requirements of IEC 61508 and highlights how applying the EMPHASIS process can enhance both new and existing product designs. Readers will gain insight into how this methodology supports safer, more reliable solutions for nuclear-related applications around the world.
Maintaining proper environmental conditions is critical for high-performance data centers. This application note highlights how HES HART-to-Ethernet Gateways simplify wiring and enable advanced diagnostics for humidity and temperature monitoring. By transmitting data from HTZ transmitters directly to the building automation system via MODBUS/TCP, facilities can achieve real-time monitoring, seamless control, and reliable protection of sensitive IT equipment.
Understanding Alarm Trips Part 6: Intrinsically Safe Associated Apparatus Alarm
Maintaining safety in hazardous locations can be complex and costly. This video highlights how traditional intrinsically safe barriers are used and how using the SPAIS with an integrated barrier streamlines installations in these same hazardous areas. By reducing wiring, cabinet space, and grounding needs, it simplifies hazardous area alarming while keeping safety compliance intact and lowering total ownership costs.
Fire & Gas Protection in Natural Gas Compressor Stations:
Safety Logic with the SLA
Natural gas compressor stations face significant safety risks from leaks and fires. This case study highlights how a major Australian pipeline operator deployed a SIL 2 capable multifunctional safety logic solver to manage fire and gas protection. Compact, reliable, and easy to program, the solution provided local trip and emergency shutdown logic, integrated seamlessly with PLC and SCADA systems, and ensured continuous operation while safeguarding personnel and critical assets.
