We are going to design a control and safety instrument system SIS (ESD / F&G) for an
Oil treatment train composed from:-
1- The foreseen number of input/ output signals is less than
500.
My question is, do we have to design two separate control
systems (one non SIL for process control and one SIL
certified system for ESDF&G)
Or it is accepted from the international standards to design
just one SIL system for both process and ESD/F&G, and if it
is accepted , What is the constraints to be considered?
if we fully integrate the two system , do we have to use dedicating a CPU for the
process control and another the ESD/F&G functions.?
thanks
