T9100  AADvance Controller

The achievement of functional safety requires the implementation of the
safety lifecycle whilst ensuring that persons who are responsible for any safety
lifecycle activities meet the required competency levels in functional safety.
All persons involved in any safety lifecycle activity, including management
activities, shall have the appropriate training, technical knowledge, experience
and qualifications relevant to the specific duties they have to perform. The
suitability of persons for their designated safety lifecycle activities shall be
based on the specific competency factors relevant to the system application
and shall be defined and recorded for each individual.
The following competence factors should be addressed when assessing and
justifying the competency level of persons to carry out their duties:
• Engineering experience appropriate to the application area
• Engineering experience appropriate to the technology
• Functional safety engineering experience appropriate to the technology
• Knowledge of the legal and safety regulatory framework
• The consequences of failure of the safety-related system
• The safety requirements class of the safety-related systems
• The novelty of the design, design procedures or application
• Previous experience and its relevance to the specific duties to be
performed and the technology being employed
In all of the above, the higher risk will require increased rigor with the
specification and assessment of the competence.

ICS-TRIPLEX-T9110

The AADvance Controller is a logic solver and I/O processing device that
contains processor modules, I/O modules and field termination assemblies
that can easily be assembled and configured. Build a system from one or more
controllers, a combination of I/O modules, power sources, communications
networks and application software. The type of applications to use depends on
the configuration of the system.
An AADvance Controller is particularly well suited to emergency shut down
and fire and gas detection protection applications by providing a system
solution with integrated and distributed fault tolerance. It is designed and
validated to international standards and is certified by an independent
certifying body for functional safety control installations.
The benefits of the AADvance Controller are its performance and flexibility.
Designed to IEC 61508 (Type B), it has the following attributes:
• up to and including SIL 3 application capability
• The product has met systematic capability requirements for SIL 3 (SC 3).
• can be configured for de-energize to trip (DTT) and energize to action
(ETA)
• can cope with high and low demand, mixed SIL rated applications.
