SIS - Safety Instrumented Systems
Sichere und fehlertolerante Systeme
 |
A Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is an independent system composed of sensors, logic solvers (e.g. controllers), and final control elements for the purpose of taking the process to a safe state when pre-determined conditions are violated.
For more than 25 years, Siemens has been a reliable industry partner providing first-class automation solutions for process safety in a wide range of applications, such as:
|
 |
Emergency and Process Shutdown systems (ESD/PSD) |
| |
according to
IEC 61511, S84 |
 |
Burner Management systems (BMS) |
| |
according to EN298, NFPA
85 |
 |
Fire & Gas applications (F&G) |
| |
according to EN 54,
NFPA 72 |
SIMATIC Safety Integrated for Process Automation is a comprehensive product range of safe, fault-tolerant and high-available products for the process industries. All components of the system are certified by TÜV to IEC 61508 SIL 3, providing the highest level of safety required for process applications.
