Latest Buncefield HSE report

Overfill Prevention System for the tank is the primary task to prevent any major tank incident!
Overfill Prevention Systems has been therefore set by at latest HSE report to be at minimum Safety Integrity Level One (SIL 1) based on IEC 61511. The Overfill Prevention System shall include the following consideration: design, installation, operation, maintenance and testing of equipments redundancy for level measurement, which are: independent and separated for safety and inventory measurement diverse measurement principle for safety and inventory measurement

Redundancy in the field: Dual output from gauges

Options in installations: Two level gauges installed as primary and secondary gauge (preferably with different technologies and a difference alarm in the tank gauging system) Redundant field cabling (two cables from level devices, preferably connected on different cabling ways into independent, not synchronized systems

A good Overfill Prevention System: is based on a different physical phenomenon (avoid systematic failures) is Fail to Safe classified for SIL services acc. IEC 61508/61511
is proven technology has all appropriate certificates is provided with internal diagnostics/ health check is provided with a separate failure alarm can be checked easily Proof testing!

Technology behind
A web server is software that serves web pages (files) in response to requests from web browsers. A web server is sometimes called an HTTP server. The standardized Interface guaranteed the world wide success, like MS Windows did in the past

Architecture of browser based applications

Availability of not PC based web servers: A dedicated industrial control unit and not a PC hosts an application, which visualizes its own data All configuration and all visualization is provided via HTML pages generated on the unit No software needs to be installed on the PC. The correct versions of software is always on the unit, including documentation. This reduces the need to keep documentation and diagnostic tools on service computers. When you need it, its with the unit. When the unit gets updated, the software gets updated

FDT Communication
Each component wraps the communication frame from the component below, WITHOUT knowing the contents Routing through system topology
DTM below does not have any knowledge about the network topology DTM must only support its own communication protocol Communication / routing through ANY network topology, no limitations Communication / routing is possible even if the underlying protocol is unknown by the engineering or standalone tool
