HONEYWELL R120 Safety Manager

HONEYWELL R120 Safety Manager

DESCRIPTION

The Honeywell Safety Manager™ is a highly reliable, high-integrity safety system  for safety-critical control applications. As part of Honeywell’s Experion™ PKS,  integrated into PlantScape, or in stand-alone applications, Safety Manager forms  the basis for functional safety, thus providing protection of persons, plant  equipment, and the environment, combined with optimum availability for  continuous plant operation.

Safety Manager is a user-programmable, modular, microprocessor-based safety  system, which can perform a wide range of high-integrity process control and  safety instrumented functions, including:  

• High-integrity process control,  

• Burner/boiler management systems,  

• Process safeguarding and emergency shutdown,  

• Turbine and compressor safeguarding,  

• Fire and gas detection systems

• Pipeline monitoring.

Improves business results

Safety Manager™ is the natural evolution of the current proven in use Fail Safe  Controller (FSC®) safety system platform, which has gained global acceptance  for more than 15 years. It embeds proven technology with two decades of  Honeywell process safety management expertise in integrating process safety  data, applications, system diagnostics and critical control strategies.

Safety Manager is designed to improve a company’s business results by  fundamentally enhancing process safety and protecting plant assets and people.  Through tight integration with Experion™ Process Knowledge System (PKS),  safety systems are unified into one single safety system architecture, assuring a  unique opportunity to improve both safety and availability of processes.

Experion PKS provides unprecedented connectivity through all levels of process  and business operations and optimizes work processes, improves routine  maintenance efficiencies, enhances safety management, and releases personnel  from manual processes.

Benefits  

• Improved engineering and design efficiency – designing safety networks has  never been easier  

• Improved system reliability and robustness – through rigorous Design for Six  Sigma (DFSS) process and the IEC 61508 development criteria  

• Improved process availability – applying the proven-in-use QMR technology  allows uninterrupted process operation in case of any system degradation  

• Improved operation and maintenance performance – through unification of  critical process data and information with the process control information,  allowing single window access for operation and maintenance  

• Protection of investments – Safety Manager™ allows and supports migration  of FSC to the latest QMR safety technology  

• Compliance to safety standards – with all SIL3 safety compliance tools,  hardware and software, Safety Manager provides excellent protection for  safety applications across multiple industries throughout the lifetime of an  installation.

Safety Manager™ complies with the following international standards:  

• For BMS: NFPA 85, 86, VDE 0116  

• For ESD: IEC 61508, ISA S84.01, DIN V 19250, UL, FM, ATEX  

• For F&G: EN54-2, NFPA 72, Lloyd’s Register.

Safety Manager R120, will provide several enhancements to make the life of a  project engineer easier. Amongst others, the following features have been  included:  

- Copy application from another plant  

- Bulk copy of points  

- Bulk rename of points  

- Bulk cop-y FLD  

- Multi users using one Safety manager database  

- Multi users connecting to one Safety manager controller  

- Multi site support to allow for distributed logic development

Process availability  

By applying the proven-in-use QMR technology in Safety Manager™, unlimited  run time for single channel operation is achieved. This invariably increases  process availability, allowing uninterrupted process operation in case of any  system degradation. Online system modification procedures have been  redesigned and simplified, resulting in significantly improved application or  system upgrades during plant start-ups or throughout the life-time of the  process operation. It is estimated that up to 20% process uptime improvement  can be achieved as a result of the above system enhancements.
