Create a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group

This topic describes how to create a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group using a blank datasheet as part of SIL verification. You can also copy or link a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group that is associated with another loop.

Note: By default, when you create a Protective Instrument Loop, a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group is already created. You can, however, create as maximum of four Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Groups in a loop.

Steps

Access the Protective Instrument Loop in which you want to add a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group.
In the workspace, select the Loop Diagram & calculation tab.

The Loop Diagram & calculation section appears.
In the diagram, select the Final Element System node, which is represented by the voting architecture.

The datasheet for the Final Element System appears.
In the workspace, select Final Element Groups.

The Final Element Groups section appears, displaying a list of Final Element Groups in the Final Element System.
In the upper-right corner of the section, select .

A new Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group is added to the list of Final Element Groups with a default ID.
Select the newly added record.

A blank datasheet for the Final Element Group appears.
As needed, enter values in the available fields.
In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select .

The Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group is created.

Results

Along with the Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group, a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element is also created.
The newly created Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group and Protective Instrument Loop Final Element are shown in the diagram.
The voting architecture in the Protective Instrument Loop Final Element System is updated both in the datasheet and also in the diagram.
