Matrix SafetyNet is a SIL 2 safety system that is built on the same control platform as the vendor’s Matrix Process Automation System, enabling users to address process control and functional safety needs with the same control platform.
“Matrix SafetyNet is a comprehensive solution for safety related applications, including Process Shut Down (PSD), Emergency Shut Down (ESD) and Fire and Gas (F&G) applications,” says Dave Reynolds, vice president of marketing at the vendor. “Matrix SafetyNet is being certified to IEC 61508 by TüV for use in SIL 2 functional safety systems.” Matrix SafetyNet consists of SIL 2 rated safety logic solvers, I/O modules and a safety logic workbench. The safety system shares power supplies, module carriers and field terminals with the Matrix Process Control System. A single Matrix SafetyNet Workbench can be used to develop both process control and functional safety applications. Static analysis tools are provided to assist in the verification and validation of the safety strategy.
