The Fieldbus Foundation wants to provide a comprehensive solution for Safety Instrumented Functions in a wide range of industrial plant applications.
The communication protocol approved by TUV Rheinland Group enables manufacturers to build Foundation fieldbus devices in compliance with IEC 61508.
Third-party test agencies such as TUV Rheinland Group or Risknowlogy will certify that these devices are suitable for use in safety instrumented systems.
End users will be able to choose devices meeting the requirements of IEC 61511 from multiple suppliers, instead of being restricted to devices designed specifically for a proprietary safety system platform.
"Joining the Fieldbus Foundation was a logical step," says Tino Vande Capelle, Functional Safety Expert and Director of Functional Safety Consulting Services at HIMA.
"As an independent safety system solution provider, we are always looking for ways to help and better support our customers in the future.
HIMA equipment will be fully compliant with the Foundation for Safety Instrumented Functions communication protocol". Request free introductory details about products from Hima Paul Hildebrandt ...
