Integrating Components Into Valve Solutions Improves Efficiency, Safety

摘要

Intelligent interlocking combines the reliable characteristics of a mechanical safety solution with dynamic possibilities of electromechanical solutions. By integrating operator procedures with DCS and SIS it allows integration of mechanical safety products with electronic communication, authorization and proofing possibilities. Integrating mechanical interlocking systems within common infrastructures for plant control and plant safety also fits within the notion that ultimately all processes within a facility should be interconnected. Through this method, substantial levels of process safety can be created, while at the realizing efficiency and cost savings.
