Create a Protective Instrument Loop

Before You Begin

• Assess the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for the Instrumented Function.

Steps

1. Access the Instrumented Function for which you want to create a Protective Instrument Loop.

2. In the workspace, select the SIL Verification tab.

   The SIL Verification section appears, displaying a list of Protective Instrument Loops in the Instrumented Function.

   

3. In the upper-right corner of the section, select .

   A blank datasheet for the Protective Instrument Loop appears.

   

4. As needed, enter values in the available fields.

5. In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select .

   The Protective Instrument Loop is created.

Results

• The GE Digital APM system creates one record for each of the following elements:

  • Sensor System
  • Sensor Group
  • Sensor
  • Logic Solver
  • Final Element System
  • Final Element Group
  • Final Element

What's Next?

• If there are additional elements in the loop apart from the ones created by the GE Digital APM system, create records for them.
• Provide the details of the elements in the corresponding records.
