Import Data From Exida

This topic describes how to import an exSILentia file from Exida. The exSILentia file stores data related to one or more Protective Instrument Loops in an SIL analysis.

Note: Importing and exporting project files to and from exSILentia is not supported on mobile devices (e.g., tablets or mobile phones).

Steps

  1. Access the SIS Management Overview page.

    Hint: You can also access the SIS Management Overview page for a selected hierarchy level.

  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, select Import from Exida.

    The Import from Exida Project window appears.

    If you want to create a new SIL analysis to include the selected Instrumented Functions:

    1. Select Create New Analysis.

      A blank datasheet for an SIL Analysis appears.
