In one sentence
Safety Manager is Honeywell's safety instrumented system platform, used as a logic solver for emergency shutdown and fire and gas functions.
Example
On an offshore platform, Safety Manager controllers run the process shutdown and fire and gas logic, and the Experion operator stations display SIS alarms and bypasses.
How it applies
- Engineering: Safety Manager acts as the Logic solver of a SIS. Platform certifications state its SIL capability; each Safety instrumented function (SIF) still requires its own verification and validation.
- Operation: Bypass handling, alarm presentation and access control in the integrated control system must follow the site's SIS procedures.
- Maintenance: Firmware updates and hardware replacements follow the vendor's safety manual and the plant's management of change process.
- Documentation: Record system and application versions and the safety manual revision. The documentation team should qualify the name, because generic phrases such as safety manager can also mean a job role or the safety manual.
Keep in mind: Product names, versions and certificates change. Check them against the vendor's current documentation.
