  2. IEC 61508 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61508

    IEC 61508 is an international standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) consisting of methods on how to apply, design, deploy and maintain automatic protection systems called safety-related systems.

  3. Industrial control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_control_system

    A control loop using a discrete controller. Field signals are flow rate measurement from the sensor, and control output to the valve. A valve positioner ensures correct valve operation. The simplest control systems are based around small discrete controllers with a single control loop each. These are usually panel mounted which allows direct ...

  4. Safety instrumented system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_instrumented_system

    Because of its criticality, safety instrumented systems must be independent from all other control systems that control the same equipment, in order to ensure SIS functionality is not compromised. An SIS is composed of the same types of control elements (including sensors , logic solvers , actuators and other control equipment) as a Basic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presence_Sensing_Device

    Any machine safety device should be designed and built to the highest safety standards defined for machinery safety, EN 13849-1 Category 4, and meet the control reliability requirements of ANSI B11.19 [9] and OSHA 1910.217. Original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) often consider point-of-operation safety to be the user's responsibility. The ...

  6. Process plant shutdown systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_plant_shutdown_systems

    Although functionally separate, process control and shutdown systems are usually interfaced under one system, called an integrated control and safety system (ICSS). Shutdown systems typically use equipment that is SIL 2 certified as a minimum, whereas control systems can start with SIL 1. SIL applies to both hardware and software requirements ...

  7. Instrumentation and control engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation_and...

    Control engineers are responsible for the research, design, and development of control devices and systems, typically in manufacturing facilities and process plants. Control methods employ sensors to measure the output variable of the device and provide feedback to the controller so that it can make corrections toward desired performance.
