Using Comparison Diagnostics in Vertigo™ SIL Verification
Join us for an exciting upcoming webinar where our expert speaker, Ed Marszal, explains the comparison diagnostics functionality newly integrated into Vertigo™ SIS safety lifecycle management software. This feature is designed to go beyond the inclusion of standard built-in diagnostics of individual devices and incorporate external comparison of signals from multiple devices.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how comparison diagnostics work by externally analyzing signals from multiple devices—all measuring the same process point. If these signals start to deviate significantly from one another, the system triggers an alarm, signaling that one of the devices may have failed. This early warning allows your team to swiftly intervene, repair the faulty device, and maintain operational integrity without unnecessary downtime or risks.
Our speaker will walk you through practical implementation details, including:
- Entering Parameters in Vertigo™ Instrument Sheets: Step-by-step guidance on where and how to input comparison diagnostics settings to customize the feature for your specific setup.
- Data Utilization in Calculations: Insights into how the compared data feeds into safety calculations, enhancing reliability and compliance with industry standards like IEC 61511.
- Limitations and Best Practices: A candid discussion on the effectiveness boundaries of this technique, such as scenarios where common-mode failures might reduce its impact, and tips to maximize its benefits.
This webinar is part of Kenexis’ ongoing commitment to providing the industry with the tools and knowledge needed to ensure the highest standards of safety and compliance.
