SUMMARY:EC54 – Advanced Design and SIL Verification
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview \nAdvanced Design and SIL Verification (EC54) focuses on detailed design issues and hands-on system modeling to verify whether Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) meet required Safety Integrity Levels (SIL). The course teaches participants how to analyze system technologies and configurations\, evaluate existing systems\, and determine whether upgrades are required to meet performance targets. \nEC54 also emphasizes optimizing manual test intervals\, helping organizations reduce costs while maintaining compliance with ISA/IEC 61511. \nCourse Details \nCourse #: EC54 \nDates: October 28–29 \nLength: 2 days \nHours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nCEUs: 1.4 \nCertificate: Certificate of completion provided \nExam: One exam included with registration \nCertificate Program \nEC54 is part of the ISA/IEC 61511 Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Program. \nSuccessful completion of the course and exam earns the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Verification Specialist certificate. \nRequired Prerequisites \nSuccessful completion of EC50 – Safety Instrumented Systems: A Lifecycle Approach \nPassing the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Fundamentals Specialist exam \nWho Should Take EC54 \n– Control systems engineers and managers \n– System integrators \n– Plant managers \n– Plant safety and risk management personnel \nLearning Objectives \n– Analyze system technologies and configurations against SIL requirements \n– Verify whether existing systems meet required performance targets \n– Determine if system upgrades are necessary \n– Optimize manual proof test intervals \n– Apply detailed design concepts to SIS verification \nTopics Covered \n– System modeling and analysis techniques \n– Field device technologies and configurations \n– Diagnostic coverage and common cause factors \n– Test intervals and imperfect testing considerations \n– Fault tolerance and safe failure fraction \n– System response to faults \n– Using devices for both control and safety \n– Non fail-safe design requirements \n– Interface requirements \nHands-On Exercises \nThe course consists of multiple hands-on system modeling and SIL verification exercises using realistic examples. \nImportant Notes \nA hand-held or scientific calculator should be brought to class. \nResources Included \nISA/IEC 61511 series of standards provided for use during the course \nSafety Instrumented System Design: Techniques and Design Verification \nby Iwan van Beurden and William M. Goble (Digital version)
