Moore Industries-International, Inc. (www.miinet.com), a world leader in interface instruments for industrial process control, system integration, and factory automation, has released, “Safety Instrumented Systems: The ‘Logic’ of Single Loop Logic Solvers,” a new digital interactive whitepaper.

The whitepaper examines what the “new generation” of safety-certified Single Loop Logic Solvers can achieve, especially regarding IEC 61508, the standard for “Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems” developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). With a brief tutorial of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and their related Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF), the whitepaper provides valuable background before delving into more complex topics including:

IEC 61508 Provision Guidelines,
FMEDA Reports,
Logic Solvers as Safety Trip Alarms and
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Variations and Requirements.

The digital interactive whitepaper includes pop-up “Selection Hints,” linking to data sheets and to helpful areas on Moore Industries’ web site.
“Safety Instrumented Systems: The ‘Logic’ of Single Loop Logic Solvers,” can be downloaded as a PDF free through the Moore Industries corporate website at http://www.miinet.com/safetyseries.
