Product Information Note

Safety Manager

Honeywell’s Safety Manager, part of the Experion® Process Knowledge System

(PKS), enhances the safety, reliability and efficiency of critical processes. Experion® PKS – The Knowledge to Make it Possible.

Safety Manager combines Honeywell’s proven Quadruple

Modular Redundancy (QMR®) 2oo4D technology with extensive process safety management expertise in integrating process safety data, applications, system diagnostics and critical control strategies.

Honeywell’s IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 SIL 3 TÜV certified solution provides the optimal level of safety and process integration while still maintaining functional safety separation as mandated by those standards. Through Experion operational integration, all systems are unified into one operationally integrated architecture, providing a unique opportunity to improve safety, process availability and efficiency.

Experion provides unprecedented connectivity through all levels of process and business operations to optimize work processes, improve routine maintenance efficiencies, enhance safety management and release personnel from manual processes.

Benefits

Safe and Secure – Safety Manager is designed to be securely integrated into customer systems and has passed very rigorous security testing as defined by ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI).

Safety Manager was the first safety system to achieve Embedded Device Security Assurance (EDSA) certification. ISCI developed this certification within the framework of the ISA Industrial Automation and Control Systems security standards (ISA 99). Because of the built in protection mechanisms, the Experion Safety Manager is protected from cyber attacks and disruption of service.

High Availability Architecture – Honeywell’s field-proven QMR 2oo4D architecture provides the highest availability with a safe architecture. Applying QMR technology allows uninterrupted process operation in the event of any system degradation or on-process modification without jeopardizing the SIL 3 level. The optional Safety Manager A.R.T. (Advanced Redundancy Technique) provides additional benefits for locations where timely maintenance is not available.

Easy and Intuitive Engineering and Modifications – Safety Builder, an intuitive and comprehensive configuration tool, provides plant-wide management of safety-critical databases and application programming for easy network design. TÜVapproved, menu-driven online modifications prevent errors while maintaining and optimizing the safety application.

Defense-in-Depth – SafeNet and remote distributed Safety Manager provide the ability to design defense-in-depth safety strategies that maximize safety and security while minimizing risk and scope-of-loss concerns.

Safety Networking - The networking capabilities of Safety Manager are unsurpassed. Up to 1024 redundant nodes can be included in one safety network, acting as one integrated safety solution. The SIL 4 certified SafeNet communication protocol guarantees fast and safe communication over any media and distance. The remote management capabilities support centralized management of all connected safety systems.

SafeNet Flexibility - SafeNet can run over any network, such as a dedicated separated safety network as well as the Honeywell Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) network infrastructure. SafeNet is the only SIL 4 certified communication protocol available in process networks today.

Self-Learning – Replacing any module, including the safety processor, is possible when the plant is in operation, and data and programs are automatically copied from the running processor. There is no manual loading required, which simplifies handling and avoids problems. The total system will continue to meet the stringent SIL 3 requirements.

High Performance – Safety Manager has been optimized to manage large applications with over 1,000 I/O as well as highspeed applications with fast processing requirements of cycle times well below 100 milliseconds.

Universal Safety I/O – Safety Manager Universal Safety I/O enables maximum architectural flexibility and lowest cost of

ownership when safety is required at distributed locations. It has the unique feature that each channel can be configured individually to a different I/O type. Every Universal Safety I/O module has a capacity of 32 freely configurable channels, enabling savings on both installation and operational costs. By using soft-marshalling, the Universal Safety I/O module can be mounted close to the process unit, eliminating the need for marshalling panels, homerun cables and reducing or eliminating field auxiliary rooms. This approach is ideally suited to highly distributed applications such as oil and gas upstream applications, and reduces cost while increasing availability and efficiency. This reduces overall capital expenditure, as well as maintenance costs.

Localized Safeguarding - With Universal Safety Logic Solver, the safety application can be distributed into the field close to the process unit while maintaining a transparent overview of the overall safety application. The unique feature of this Universal Safety IO module is the fact that besides being an IO module to Safety Manager, it can execute the safety application locally. Safeguarding the process even in the event communications to the Safety Manager are interrupted.

Standardized Solutions - Universal Channel Technology enables Universal Cabinet designs to be standardized, significantly reducing engineering cost and schedule when applied broadly across a project.

Advanced Experion Integration – Supports Safety Manager integration in Experion, providing an integrated safety and control solution. It enables, for example, transmitter data sharing between the CEE (Control Execution Environment) controllers and Safety Manager, via direct peer to peer communication, to save installed and operational costs. Peer to peer communication further allows for alarm suppression, automatic bypassing and interlocks between shutdown and control functions as well as “soft landing” in case of process upset. It also provides easy operator access and full Console Station support. As part of the “enter data only once” philosophy, the Experion-related properties are configured from the Safety Builder tool simplifying maintenance and reducing total cost of ownership.

Built on QMR Technology – Safety Manager is based on the unique and field-proven QMR diagnostic-based technology with 2oo4D architecture. QMR enhances system flexibility, increases diagnostic messaging capabilities and improves system fault tolerance for critical applications. It enables the handling of multiple system faults within Experion Safety Manager, matching the needs of critical control applications.

In addition, Safety Manager provides the basis for integrating SIL-rated field sensors and valve actuators, ensuring that safety functions are well established to protect complex and hazardous processes. It integrates SIL 1-3 safety transmitters (such as Honeywell ST3000 and STT250) or safety valve positioners for improved safety and field asset management.
