Integrating risk and hazard and plantwide control solutions for reconfigurability

Abstract

The technology in process control has been changing towards full control and management systems including Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and security middleware. Modern goal is to keep the functionality of the process even at less performance, proposed solution implementing risk and hazard control paradigm. An architectural oriented approach is the base to develop advanced control integrated architecture open to incorporate reconfigurable control. The main achievements of authors work are: a new approach to define control, integration of control and prevention in control strategies, plantwide control viewed from holistic approach, a new hierarchical structure of control and safety and a framework for reconfigurable control development.
