Safety Systems
These systems afford protection against
the risks posed by hazardous processes
and help to protect against upsets or
failures that might threaten employee
safety, cause environmental problems or
damage operating equipment. A safety
instrumented system (SIS) typically includes a sensor to monitor the
process, a logic device to compare process conditions to predetermined
process limits, and a final control element that can shut down or vent
the process should conditions reach a trip point.
The Emerson SIL-PAC valve automation solution for safety systems
combines scotch-yoke and rack and pinion pneumatic actuators, with
the diagnostics and functionality of the Fisher FIELDVUE digital valve
controllers. SIL-PAC can then be mounted on the valve that meets your
requirement best.
Actuators are IEC certified and are suitable for SIL 3 applications when
a periodic partial stroke test is performed or in SIL 2 application if such
testing is not required. Emerson actuators are also ATEX certified and
protect against water ingress to IP66 and IP67M standards.

Integrated packages and automation

All quarter-turn valves can
now have an automation
package designed and
assembled to efficiently
and reliably suit your
control loop requirements.
These packages are fitted
to your valves and are
entirely tested, calibrated
and warrantied by valve
automation experts.
With your specified valve, we can provide a complete valve operating
system which include your selected actuators, solenoids, positioners,
switches, plus other accessories. Our integrated packages are designed
by experienced engineers and are assembled from a ready stock of fieldproven components, to reduce your costs and shorten your delivery
schedules.

Controls and accessories

across all our range
Basic actuators may be used to open and close the valve; however, if
more functionality is required, then the actuators' specification can be
extended by the addition of one or more of the available accessories.
These can be used to provide position signaling feedback to the
controller, provide positional control or make the actuator operate
faster or slower. Several are available with hazardous area approvals.
