At Grupo MIESA we integrate functional safety from the earliest design stages, so that every architecture complies with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 and protects people, equipment and the process.
Functional safety (SIL/LOPA) by design
We carry out functional safety studies and verification, defining and documenting the safety instrumented functions (SIF) of critical processes:
- LOPA analysis and SIL allocation
- Verification of the SIL achieved by each safety instrumented function
- Complete SIF documentation, from specification to validation
- Hard-wired safety chains with safety relays and interlocks
Safety PLC and Safety Matrix
We have extensive experience in programming Safety PLC systems and configuring SIMATIC Safety Matrix: we link each cause with its effects, ensuring the correct implementation of the safety functions in the field and their traceability on site, including periodic testing of critical devices.
Design for ATEX environments
Our team specialising in ATEX regulations applies safety criteria from the early stages of the electrical and instrumentation design:
- Technical justification for the selection of equipment and protection methods
- Electrical and thermal calculations for ATEX validation
- Optimisation of installations to declassify or reduce hazardous areas
In this way we ensure regulatory compliance, operational safety and the protection of people and equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
