28 Chapter 2 Application Guidelines Table 3 describes the design requirements for handling maintenance overrides when using Triconex communication capabilities. Table 3 Design Requirements for Maintenance Override Handling Design Requirements Control program logic and the controller configuration determine whether the desired signal can be overridden. Control program logic and/or system configuration specify whether simultaneous overriding in independent parts of the application is acceptable. Controller activates the override. The operator should confirm the override condition. Direct overrides on inputs and outputs are not allowed, but should be checked and implemented in relation to the application. Multiple overrides in a controller are allowed as long as only one override applies to each safety-critical group. The controller alarm should not be overridden. DCS warns the operator about an override condition. The operator continues to receive warnings until the override is removed. A second way to remove the maintenance override condition should be available. If urgent, a maintenance engineer may remove the override using a hard-wired switch. During an override, proper operating measures should be implemented. The time span for overriding should be limited to one shift (typically no longer than eight hours). A maintenance override switch (MOS) light on the operator console should be provided (one per controller or process unit).

Guidelines for Triconex Controllers 29 Table 4 describes the operating requirements for handling maintenance overrides when using Triconex communication capabilities. Table 4 Operating Requirements for Maintenance Override Handling Operating Requirements Maintenance overrides are enabled for an entire controller or for a subsystem (process unit). Controller activates an override. The operator should confirm the override condition. Additional Recommendations These procedures are recommended in addition to the recommendations described in the tables on page 28 and page 29: • A DCS program should regularly verify that no discrepancies exist between the override command signals issued by a DCS and override-activated signals received by a DCS from a PES.
