摘要:
The invention relates to an improved method in an industrial safety system for controlling a process or equipment. An industrial safety system comprises components with safety devices wherein the safety system enables signals to be generated as a result of an event or alarm. The method and system uses a cause and effect matrix (CEM) with automated links between each event or alarm and an effect or an action to be taken upon receipt of said event or alarm signal due to the event. In an online view (1, 51, 61) of the improved cause and effect matrix, at least one effect cell (16) of the cause and effect matrix is arranged with a first executable link for a device (14) represented by the at least one effect cell. The online viewer of the cause and effect matrix is further arranged with an application for generating and displaying a first control arranged to display a visual marker (21) in the case where the at least one effect cell has received a signal to trip a device (14) linked to the at least one effect cell. An executable link or a faceplate (50) can be opened from the on-line view displaying the marked at least one effect cell and used to operate the device (14) of the effect so marked. A system and a computer program are also described.
摘要:
A method in an industrial safety system for controlling a process or equipment, which industrial safety system includes components with safety devices. The safety system enables signals to be generated as a result of an event or alarm, where the method includes creating an automated link between the event or alarm and an effect or an action to be taken upon receipt of the event or alarm signal due to the event. The method includes configuring one or more links between the event and the input, thus forming a cause and effect matrix, and also generating a control code using the cause and effect matrix for subsequent download of the control code to at least one process controller whereby a control signal is subsequently generated by at least one safety controller to initiate the action or effect.
