Safety Considerations Guide for Triconex General ... - ICEWeb

18 Chapter 2 Application Guidelines
Emergency Shutdown Systems
The safe state of the plant should be a de-energized or low (0) state.
All power supplies should be monitored for proper operation.
Burner Management Systems
The safe state of the plant is a de-energized or low (0) state.
When a safety system is required to conform to the EN 50156 standard for electrical equipment
for furnaces, PES throughput time should ensure that a safe shutdown can be performed within
one second after a problem in the process is detected.
Fire and Gas Systems
Fire and gas applications should operate continuously to provide protection. The following
industry guidelines apply:
• If inputs and outputs are energized to mitigate a problem, a PES system should detect
and alarm open and short circuits in the wiring between the PES and the field devices.
• An entire PES system should have redundant power supplies. Also, the power supplies
that are required to activate critical outputs and read safety-critical inputs should be
redundant. All power supplies should be monitored for proper operation.
• De-energized outputs may be used for normal operation. To initiate action to mitigate a
problem, the outputs are energized. This type of system shall monitor the critical
output circuits to ensure that they are properly connected to the end devices.
