AMS = Asset Management System that is connected to MUX using RS 485. The AMS uses the HART protocol to communicate with the HART enabled device. DCS = Dstributed Control System In order to ensure that the HART Master/MUX connection to the 4-20 mA signal (input/output) connected to the SIS and use of HART protocol is non-interfering the 4-20 mA safety signal, the rules/guidelines specified in the following must be followed by the end user. Note, that the end user could incorporate some of the guidelines in the management of safety, management of change, and management of maintenance policies and procedures. 4. Rules and Guidelines for the use of a HART protocol within SIS � AMS/MUX connection to 4-20 mA signal must be isolated and decoupled such that a failure of the MUX does not affect the 4-20 mA signal � A detailed FMEA of the MUX interface to the 4-20 mA signal must be performed to show that the normal operation or the failure of MUX won’t affect the 4-20 mA signal. In this case, the MUX and associated AMS are non-interfering the 4-20 mA safety signal. If non-interfering can not be shown by FMEA the probability of failure must be considered to determine the safety parameters in accordance to IEC 61508 to include them into safety loop consideration. � The HART enabled devices used with SIS must be suitable for the SIL rating of the safety loop as per IEC 61511 guidelines. HART enabled field devices shall be documented to be non-interfering the 4-20 mA safety signal. In compliance with IEC 61511 -1 clause 11.5.2, the HART enabled devices used within an SIS (Safety Instrumented System) shall be documented to be in accordance with IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-3 as applicable to the SIL (Safety Integrity Level) of the individual SIF (Safety Instrumented Function), or else they shall meet the requirements of IEC 61511-1 clause 11.4 for hardware fault tolerance and clauses 11.5.3 to 11.5.6 for prior use, as appropriate.

2008-04-01 HART Position Paper from TÜV Rheinland 79 � To avoid failures resulting from unintended configuration changes of the HART capable field devices, protection mechanisms, which may be provided by the HART devices, shall be used. � The data (Secondary variables, device information, diagnostics, and status data) received from the HART device must not be used for safety related reactions in the SIS. � The data received from the HART devices could be used in control, diagnostics, or asset management systems for device diagnostics and maintenance purposes. The Asset Management, Diagnostics, maintenance systems and operating procedures is to act as an independent layer of protection; in this case the role of asset management is to identify a potential failure on a field element (i.e. valve) that might prevent the safety function to act if demanded. � As a part of management of safety policy, practices and procedures, the AMS (HART master) must be password protected to allow maintenance of and modifications to the HART enabled field devices connected to SIS by authorized people only. The Safety procedure should include provisions to avoid re-configuration of HART enabled field devices by mistake. � Online changes to the field device configuration, online calibration and online maintenance shall be avoided and must be evaluated depending on the application. � Safety procedures must be established to ensure proper use of the AMS or hand-held communicator for configuration changes, calibration or maintenance of HART enabled field devices connected to SIS. Any change to the HART enable field device must be followed by verification to prove the correct implementation. 5. Summary Following the rules and guidelines as listed in chapter 4. the HART communication can be used within safety related applications using Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Besides, the available safety- and user guidelines of the SIS and HART devices shall be considered for further information and restrictions.

� AMS/MUX connection to 4-20 mA signal must be isolated and decoupled such that a failure<br />

of the MUX does not affect the 4-20 mA signal<br />

� A detailed FMEA of the MUX interface to the 4-20 mA signal must be per<strong>for</strong>med to show that<br />

the normal operation or the failure of MUX won’t affect the 4-20 mA signal. In this case, the<br />

shall meet the requirements of IEC 61511-1 clause 11.4 <strong>for</strong> hardware fault tolerance and<br />

clauses 11.5.3 to 11.5.6 <strong>for</strong> prior use, as appropriate.<br />
