• Peer-to-Peer communication must be programmed according to the recommendations<br />
in Triconex Peer-to-Peer Communication on page 23.<br />
Note All Triconex logic solver faults can be repaired online without further degradation of the<br />
system and should be per<strong>for</strong>med be<strong>for</strong>e a second fault occurrence to maintain the<br />
highest availability of the system. The highly effective means of modular insertion and<br />
replacement of faulted Triconex components is transparent to the operation of the<br />
system and the ease of replacement mitigates the risk of systematic and human induced<br />
failure as defined by IEC 61508. It is highly recommended that a faulted component be<br />
replaced within industry accepted Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) periods.<br />
Additional Fire and Gas <strong>Guide</strong>lines<br />
• Analog input cards with current loop terminations should be used to read digital<br />
inputs. Opens and shorts in the wiring to the field devices should be detectable. The<br />
Triconex library function LINEMNTR should be used to simplify application<br />
development.<br />
• A controller should be powered by two independent sources.<br />
• If controller operation is degraded to dual mode or single mode, repairs should be<br />
timely. The operating time restrictions in the table on page 25 should be followed.<br />
Periodic Offline Test Interval <strong>Guide</strong>lines<br />
A safety instrumented function (SIF) may be tested periodically to satisfy the requirements <strong>for</strong><br />
the specified safety integrity level (SIL). This period is called the periodic offline test interval.<br />
Project Change and Control<br />
A change to a project, however minor, should comply with the guidelines of your organization’s<br />
<strong>Safety</strong> Change Control Committee (SCCC).<br />
Change Procedure<br />
1 Generate a change request defining all changes and the reasons <strong>for</strong> the changes, then<br />
obtain approval <strong>for</strong> the changes from the SCCC.<br />
2 Develop a specification <strong>for</strong> the changes, including a test specification, then obtain<br />
approval <strong>for</strong> the specification from the SCCC.<br />
3 Make the appropriate changes to the project, including those related to design,<br />
operation, or maintenance documentation.<br />
4 To verify that the configuration in the controller matches the last downloaded<br />
configuration, use the Verify Last Download to the Controller command on the<br />
Controller Panel. For details, see the TriStation 1131 Developer’s <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
5 Compare the configuration in your project with the configuration that was last<br />
downloaded to the controller by printing the Compare Project to Last Download report<br />
from the Controller Panel. For details, see the TriStation 1131 Developer’s <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
