Create a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element

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

Note: By default, when you create a Protective Instrument Loop or a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group, a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element is already created. You can, however, create as many Protective Instrument Loop Final Elements as required.

Steps

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

    The Loop Diagram & calculation section appears.

  3. In the diagram, select the Final Element Group node in which you want to create a Final Element.

    The datasheet for the Final Element Group appears.

    The Final Element Group datasheet

  4. In the workspace, select the Final Elements tab.

    The Final Elements section appears, displaying a list of Final Elements in the Final Element Group.

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

    A Protective Instrument Loop Final Element is created and added to the list of Final Elements. If the Diverse field in the Final Element Group is cleared, the final element will contain the same values as those in the default record.

  6. Select the newly added record.

    A blank datasheet for the Final Element appears.

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

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

    The Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group is created.
