Simplifies deployment & shortens lead times
03 July 2015
Rockwell Automation has introduced its new OptiSIS solution, giving industrial operators a pre-engineered safety instrumented system that can help ease deployment and reduce lead times for small and midsized process applications.
The OptiSIS solution is suitable for oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical producers with ageing process-safety systems that are either noncompliant or can no longer be maintained.
"Replacing or upgrading a process-safety system using a custom-engineered approach can be costly and time-consuming,” said Mark Eldredge, Packaged Solutions program manager for Rockwell Automation. "The OptiSIS solution can reduce lead time by more than 30 per cent, leading to faster and more cost-effective safety instrumented system deployments."
The OptiSIS solution is designed for safety instrumented system applications of 50 or 100 I/O points, including emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, burner-management systems (BMS) and high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS). The version for applications of up to 100 I/O points will be available in the fourth quarter of 2015.
