30 Chapter 2 Application Guidelines • Use of the maintenance override capability should be documented in a DCS or TriStation 1131 log. The documentation should include: — Begin- and end-time stamps of the maintenance override. — Identification of the maintenance engineer or operator who activates a maintenance override. If the information cannot be printed, it should be entered in a workpermit or maintenance log. — Tag name of the signal being overridden. — Communication packages that are different from a type-approved Modbus should include CRC, address check, and check of the communication time frame. — Loss of communication should lead to a warning to the operator and maintenance engineer. After loss of communication, a time-delayed removal of the override should occur after a warning to the operator. • For more information about maintenance override operation, please see the TÜV web site at http://www.tuv-fs.com/m_o202.pdf. Safety Controller Boundary The boundary of the safety controller includes the External Termination Panels (ETPs) and interconnecting cables. Triconex safety controllers must be used with approved ETPs and cables only. The use of unapproved, unauthorized cables and/or ETPs compromises the TÜV safety certification and potentially the ability of the logic solver to respond to safety demands. False trips resulting from the use of unapproved components can cause end-user economic loss. CAUTION Background IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 define a programmable electronic Safety Instrumented System (SIS) as consisting of sensors, logic solvers, and final control elements, as shown in this figure. Sensors Figure 7 Simplified SIS Together, these elements implement Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) of the target Safety Integrity Level (SIL). In order to implement a safety-certified SIF, the system designer must choose safety-certified loop elements, including sensors, final elements, logic solvers, and other interconnecting components. Safety Considerations Guide for Trident v2 Systems When using fanned-out interface cables or third-party ETPs—such as those from P&F or MTL—please consult the Invensys Global Customer Support (GCS) Center for the safety-boundary impact of using such cables or ETPs. Logic Solver Final Elements

Guidelines for Triconex Controllers 31 In addition to the components shown in Figure 7, a typical SIS consists of components such as cables and external termination panels. These components are used to connect the sensors and final elements to the logic solvers. Figure 8 shows the SIS including these components. Approved ETPs and interconnecting cables are listed in the Planning and Installation Guide for Trident v2 Systems and the Technical Product Guide for Trident v2 Systems, which are available on the Invensys Global Customer Support (GCS) Center website. Design Control, Configuration Management, Supply Chain Management, and Quality Assurance for Triconex ETPs and cable assemblies are controlled by Invensys. Sourcing of approved ETPs and interconnecting cables is also controlled by Invensys. Certifications • TÜV approves the use of Triconex ETPs and interconnecting cables with Triconex Safety Logic Solvers. • TÜV certifies the use of Triconex Safety Logic Solvers in SIL capability 3 applications with the TÜV approved ETPs and interconnecting cables. • Triconex ETPs are certified for electrical safety in full compliance with international standards by CSA. They are qualified for general use in North America and other jurisdictions requiring compliance with these standards, as well as the European CE mark as per the Low Voltage Directive. • Triconex ETPs and interconnecting cables comply with the applicable IEC EMC standard (IEC 61326-3-1,2,), which includes the European CE mark per the EMC directive. • Triconex ETPs that are approved for hazardous locations also comply with North America Class1 Div2 (C1D2) and Zone 2 as per the European ATEX directive. Thus, the boundary of the safety controller (Triconex Safety Logic Solver) extends up to the ETPs, including the interconnecting cables, as shown in Figure 8 Safety Controller Boundary (page 32).
