    A message appears, asking you to confirm that you want to upgrade the Protective Instrument Loops.
  4. Select Yes.
    All the exSILentia V3 Protective Instrument Loops are upgraded to exSILentia V4.

Results

After the Protective Instrument Loops are upgraded:
  • The value in the IO channels in the separate module list in each Protective Instrument Loop is set to False.
  • In the Sensor Groups, Logic Solvers, and Final Element Groups of the Protective Instrument Loops, the value in the Has Independent Mission Time field is set to False. In addition, the Group Mission Time field is populated with the value in the Mission Time field of the corresponding Protective Instrument Loop.
  • The Proof Test Duration field is set to 1 hour.
