Focus
units can be used to form a network
of distributed safety controllers
seamlessly integrated to monitor
and control thousands of safety I/O
points. A system is configured using
the workbench software to suit any
functional-safety or critical-control
application using a standard range
of modules and assemblies. It is
particularly well-suited to
emergency shutdowns and
protection applications for
fire-and-gas detection by
providing a system solution
with integrated and distributed
fault tolerance. - Rockwell Automation

This SIS now has ISASecure
EDSA certification
This company recently obtained the
ISASecure Embedded Device Security
Assurance (EDSA) certification
for its ProSafe-RS safety instrumented
system (SIS; photo). The
ISASecure program was developed
by the ISA Security Compliance
Institute with the goal of accelerating
the industry-wide improvement
of cyber security for industrial automation
and control systems. The
ISASecure EDSA certification has
three elements: communication
robustness testing, functional security
assessment, and software
development security assessment,
and is based on the IEC 62443-4
standard. - Yokogawa Corp. of
America, Sugar Land, Tex.

Software to speed safety system
engineering and design
To address the challenge of designing
safety systems, this company
recently introduced SafeGuard
Profiler software, a design and
analysis tool that speeds and simplifies
safety system engineering
and design. SafeGuard Profiler is a
safety integrity level (SIL) lifecycle
tool that gives process automation
professionals the information
and the power they need to conduct
successful engineering failure
analysis, SIL determination,
SIL verification/validation (SIL-V),
SIL optimization and other related
tasks. SafeGuard Profiler provides
a two-pronged approach to analysis
of safety systems and processes,
using a LOPA (Layer of Protection
Analysis) module and a SIL-V
software module for designing and
evaluating SIL-rated systems. The
two modules work together to help
improve and maintain process plant
applications at all stages of development.
