Empowering Functional Safety through Intelligent Digitalization
The α-phe Safety Integrity Level (SIL) module is a modern, cloud-based solution designed to support the management of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) during their operational phase, in full alignment with the Functional Safety Lifecycle defined in IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards.
Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) are specific automated safety functions triggered when process parameters exceed operational limits, restoring the system to a safe operating state. The primary goal is to minimize the likelihood or impact of hazardous events, protecting personnel, the public, assets, and the environment from potential incidents or production losses.
Ensuring Continuous Safety Integrity
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) defines a discrete level of safety performance required for each SIF, representing the probability that a system will perform its intended safety function successfully when demanded. Continuous monitoring and follow-up of SIS performance during operation are vital to ensure that safety integrity and reliability are maintained throughout the system’s lifecycle.
α-phe SIL Functional Modules
The α-phe SIL suite consists of three integrated modules, enabling full lifecycle tracking, verification, and documentation:
- SIL Classification Module
– Performs risk assessment and assigns SIL based on consequence severity, frequency, and risk reduction requirements.
– Supports both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods. - SIL Verification Module
– Validates that the SIF design achieves the target SIL using reliability data and proof test intervals.
– Integrates live operational data to monitor performance metrics and proof test compliance. - Safety Requirement Specification (SRS) Module
– Digitally manages all safety requirements, logic diagrams, and performance targets for each SIF.
– Enables structured traceability between hazards, functions, and verification outcomes.
SIL Module streamlines the performance monitoring of SIS throughout its operational lifetime by providing the following key benefits:
- Seamless data linking from other modules and enabled user data import for faster assessments without repeated data entry.
- Configured to customer requirements.
- Ability to monitor the reliability of the SIFs by updating the failure rates based on live operation data throughout its lifecycle and provide recommended remedial actions to ensure that the target SIL is achieved.
- Flexibility in choosing desired failure rate database (i.e. SERH, OREDA, user defined input).
- SIL Classification module allows assessment of SIFs via three methodologies (i.e. Risk Matrix, LOPA and Risk Graph).
- Verification of SIFs takes into account three requirements stipulated in IEC-61508 and IEC-61511 (Probabilistic, Architectural Constraint, Systematic Capability)
- SRS provides an efficient and seamless documentation of unique SIF requirements which conveys key information between phases of lifecycle.
