VM600 in a Safety Related SystemSAFETY ISSUES

3 SAFETY ISSUES

3.1 VM600 in a Safety Related System

When a VM600 is part of a safety related system (SRS), certain configuration restrictionsmust be applied. In particular:• The output relays must be configured as de-energized to trip. Specifically:

• the relay is energized when the monitored levels are within their specified tolerances• the relay is de-energized to indicate an alarm.

• The use of the VM function danger bypass is not allowed.• The use of the VM function trip multiply is not allowed.• The alarm must be defined as ‘latching’.

3.2 Valid Safety ConfigurationsThe VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) can be configured in many differentarrangements. These configurations are described in more detail in the hardware manual(see 1.5 - Applicable Documents). For example, the VM600 can be used to protect rotatingmachines in a safety related system.

Safety FunctionSAFETY ISSUES

3.4 Safety FunctionWith reference to IEC 61508 the safety function for the system is defined below.

For the required safety function SF1, the following safety parameters (SP) are required inaccordance with IEC 61508.

Parameters

If an input value (or values) exceed(s) a predefined limit, then a trip activation signal is made.

De-energize to trip (open relay contact).That is, the EUC and the VM600 interpret a de-energized state as a safe state.

ISO 13849-1 Performance LevelSAFETY ISSUES

In practice, the output relay or relays are normally the ‘input’ to a safety related PLC that takesthis input together with other safety related signals.

3.5 ISO 13849-1 Performance LevelThe table below shows the breakdown of performance level (PL) by diagnostic coverage andmean time to dangerous failure (MTTFd).

The calculated results for the VM600 MPS are shown in the following table.

3.6 Safety TimeAfter the defined safety level threshold has been exceeded, the VM600 system will open theassociated safety relay within 100 ms.

3.7 Protection of Relay Contacts

In a safety system it is important to protect against a relay contact becoming welded due toexcessive current being inadvertently passed. Therefore, the outputs must be protected by a5A(T) fuse.

InstallationSAFETY ISSUES

3.8 InstallationThe system shall be installed following the procedures described in the MPS HardwareManual (Standard Version) MAMPS-HW/E (see 1.5 - Applicable Documents). Environmentalrestrictions are described in Appendix A of the manual.

3.9 Configuring the System

It is important that the levels (vibration and so on) are adjusted to suit the system underprotection and that a manual verification is made of the parameters that are uploaded to thesystem (MPC4 card).Note that the procedures described should only be performed by competent and authorizedpersonnel following the plant specific guidelines in force at the installation site.

3.9.1 Define the levelsThe choice of alarm levels must be made in consultation with the site manager. It is the enduser’s responsibility to ensure that the alarm levels are appropriate for the particular systembeing protected.The levels are defined using the MPS1 software (supplied) or the MPS2 software (optional).Please refer to the appropriate documentation for complete information.

3.9.2 Define the alarm outputsAny relay on the MPC4 or RLC16 cards can be configured to provide the safety function. Aspreviously noted, the alarms must be:• configured as ‘latching’• de-energized to ‘trip’.

3.9.3 Upload the levels and configurationOnce the system parameters have been correctly defined using the MPS software, theconfiguration for each MPC4 card must be uploaded to the card. This procedure is describedin the MPS1 Software Manual MAMPS1-SW/E (see 1.5 - Applicable Documents).

3.9.4 Configuration verificationWhilst the actual upload of data is controlled by CRC verification and other techniques, inorder to fulfil the IEC 61508 requirements a manual verification of this upload is required. Theverification is made by downloading the configuration from the MPC4 card to the computerand comparing the data received with the original data uploaded to the card.This procedure is described below.• Select the appropriate MPC4 card on the MPS software (as used in 3.9.3 - Upload the

levels and configuration).


CommissioningSAFETY ISSUES

• Use the Dump to File option to save the configuration as pc_card_1.csv.• Define a dummy rack using a Tag name from_sys_1.• Select this rack, connect to the MPC4 card concerned and read its configuration back to

the computer.• Dump this file as sys_card_1.csv.• Using the MS-DOS fc (file compare) command, compare the two files. The only

difference should be the download time as shown in Figure 3-1.

NOTE : If any differences exist, then the upload must be repeated and the comparisonrepeated.

3.10 Commissioning

The system should be commissioned as an integral part of the overall SIS commissioning.

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY COMPETENT ANDAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL FOLLOWING THE PLANT SPECIFIC GUIDELINES IN FORCE AT THEINSTALLATION.

3.10.1 Guidelines for commissioningInstalling a VM 600 system is fully described in section 8 of the MPS Hardware Manual(Standard Version) MAMPS-HW/E.

Figure 3-1 : MS-DOS fc command screen shot


Offline Proof TestSAFETY ISSUES

3.11 Offline Proof Test

When the VM600 is taken offline, the attached system and equipment are no longerprotected. Therefore, this procedure should only be undertaken by authorized personnelrespecting the overall plant operations procedures. There should be no need to remove theequipment from site to perform these tests unless it is considered more convenient.The offline proof test reveals any dangerous faults that might not be detected in normaloperation.For a VM600 system the proof test must be performed every 5 years or less.

3.12 Repair and Maintenance

If the VM600 system is under maintenance or repair, then the attached system andequipment may no longer be protected. Therefore, this procedure should only be undertakenby authorized personnel respecting the overall plant operations procedures.

3.12.1 Guidelines for the proof test

3.12.1.1 Reset

1- Reset the system by performing a cold start. That is, turn off and then turn on the rack.2- Verify the safety relay status by performing a continuity test.3- Observe the diagnostic LEDs and note any abnormalities. Refer to the MPS hardware

manual for further information.

3.12.1.2 Threshold tests

These tests are essentially a sub-set of the site commissioning plan. As such, they will varywidely depending on the number of channels configured, the sensor type, and so on.The levels used have to be determined for each particular installation. An example for onechannel of a vibration alarm is given below.1- Disconnect the IOC4T from the sensor cables.2- Simulate an N1 vibration signal at a site specific frequency for 100% RPM.3- Inject a signal at (0.8 x alarm level) and verify that the system does not trip.4- Inject a signal at (1.2 x alarm level) and verify that the system does trip.


Repair and MaintenanceSAFETY ISSUES

3.12.1.3 Maintenance

System maintenance should be performed following the guidelines in the MPS HardwareManual (Standard Version) MAMPS-HW/E (see 1.5 - Applicable Documents). When theVM600 is taken offline, the attached system and equipment are no longer protected.Therefore, maintenance should only be undertaken by authorized personnel respecting theoverall plant operations procedures.


Repair and MaintenanceSAFETY ISSUES



DISPOSAL

4 DISPOSALIf it is decided to scrap a VM600 system, then it must be disposed of in an environmentallyfriendly manner. In European Community countries, the Waste Electrical and ElectronicEquipment (WEEE) directive is applicable.• According to the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC, all waste electrical and electronic

equipment should be collected separately and then treated and disposed of inaccordance with the best available and environmentally friendly techniques. Wasteelectrical and electronic equipment may contain substances hazardous to theenvironment (and to humans) but it is also a valuable resource of new raw materials.Therefore, it is important to collect electrical and electronic waste separately from otherwaste.
