Introducing Logix SIS, a safety instrumentation system from Rockwell Automation.
“The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”
This quintessential quote by Arthur C. Clarke appropriately foreshadows and encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that has driven humanity to push past conceivable boundaries. More than ever, people look to their resources, neighbors and leaders for intuitive and adaptable solutions to their persisting problems. Today, in the realm of safety, Rockwell Automation answers the call, standing at the precipice of a new era, where the limitations of the past are giving way to future possibilities.
Barriers of Traditional Safety Systems
Complexities abound in our dynamic world of modern industry, and safety is paramount. From robust oil refineries and chemical plants to intricate manufacturing facilities, ensuring the well-being of personnel, protecting valuable assets and safeguarding the environment are at the forefront of business priorities.
Traditional safety systems, while essential, have often needed help to keep pace with the evolving demands of industry. Their implicit complexity, inflexibility and integration challenges can create barriers, hinder productivity and even compromise safety itself. The need for a more streamlined, adaptable and cost-effective approach to safety has never been more apparent.
Enter Logix SIS: A New Era of Safety
Rockwell Automation, a pioneer in industrial automation and digital transformation, has risen to this challenge with the introduction of Logix SIS. This cutting-edge safety instrumented system redefines the landscape of industrial safety.
Logix SIS is more than merely an incremental improvement over existing solutions — it’s a paradigm shift, a bold leap into the future of safety that empowers a connected approach to how businesses achieve unprecedented levels of protection, efficiency and productivity.
Unlike traditional safety systems that operate in isolation, Logix SIS seamlessly integrates with Rockwell Automation’s Integrated Architecture®, leveraging a common platform for both safety and process control. This simplification reduces the need for separate engineering and maintenance staff, which in turn reduces complexity and can help accelerate project timelines. With familiar Logix programming tools and a streamlined configuration process, you can easily design, implement and maintain your safety system.
Key Features and Benefits of Logix SIS:
- High Availability & SIL 2 /SIL 3 Certification: Logix SIS is engineered for the most demanding safety applications, achieving Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 and SIL 3 certifications, the gold standards in industrial safety. This means you can trust Logix SIS to provide robust protection against even the most critical hazards, achieving the safety of your people, assets and environment.
- Scalability and Flexibility: Logix SIS is built to adapt and grow with your business. Its modular design allows you to quickly expand or modify your system as your needs evolve, confirming your safety infrastructure remains practical and relevant in the face of change. Whether you’re adding new processes, equipment, or safety zones, Logix SIS can scale to meet your requirements, providing the flexibility and agility you must stay ahead of the curve.
- Cost Efficiency and ROI: Logix SIS is not just a safety solution; it’s a strategic investment in your business. By leveraging existing Rockwell Automation hardware and software, eliminating the need for additional licenses, and streamlining engineering processes, Logix SIS helps you reduce the total cost of ownership and achieve a compelling return on investment.
- Improved Productivity and Uptime: Downtime is the enemy of productivity. Logix SIS’s high availability architecture, combined with advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance capabilities, helps minimize safety-related stoppages and unplanned downtime. This delivers continuous operation, maximizes output and helps protect your bottom line.
Tomorrow’s Safety, Today
Logix SIS represents a bold step forward in industrial safety, offering a comprehensive, integrated and future-ready solution that empowers businesses to achieve their safety and operational goals. It’s a testament to the spirit of innovation and progress that has always defined Rockwell Automation.
