Product catalog summary
Overview: The TopWorx™ D-ESD SIL-3 Rated Valve Controllers are designed for automated partial stroke testing of emergency shutdown valves, suitable for SIL-3 applications and certified for hazardous areas. They offer an integrated solution with onboard diagnostics for performance validation.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): SIS are crucial for protecting against risks associated with processing toxic or flammable fluids. They consist of a logic solver, sensors, and a final control element. The IEC 61508 standard guides the determination of Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) based on risk and Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD).
Determining SIL Values: SIL ratings are calculated using the level of risk and PFD. The PFD is determined through techniques like Simplified Calculation, Fault Tree Analysis, and Markov Analysis. The SIL level is assigned based on the cumulative PFD of SIS components.
Partial Stroke Testing (PST): PST is essential for ensuring the reliability of emergency shutdown valves, which are often static. It allows for testing without full closure, avoiding costly shutdowns. Regular PST can extend the time between mandatory full stroke tests, enhancing profitability.
Common PST Methods: Traditional methods include mechanical jamming and instrument panels, each with limitations such as high cost, lack of diagnostics, and labor intensity. The TopWorx D-ESD offers a high-functionality, low-cost solution that integrates seamlessly with existing systems.
TopWorx D-ESD Solution: The D-ESD valve controllers provide a comprehensive PST solution with features like sensor control modules, onboard diagnostics, and compatibility with various solenoid valves. They are available in rugged materials suitable for hazardous areas and offer a local, lockable test button.
Technical Features: The D-ESD includes integral controls in a single housing, reducing the need for custom components and enhancing reliability. It supports simple pass/fail diagnostics and ensures emergency shutdown functionality even during tests. The setup is straightforward, with calibration and testing facilitated by onboard controls.
Solenoid Valve Technology: The D-ESD uses standard solenoid valve technology with low power consumption and built-in flame arrestors, ensuring durability and protection against poor air quality.
Specifications: The document outlines the features of the TopWorx™ D-ESD valve controllers, including their ability to perform Partial Stroke Tests (PST) to ensure valve functionality without process disruption. The controllers are suitable for both rotary and linear valve applications and are equipped with sensors and diagnostics circuits for enhanced performance.
Ordering Information: An ordering guide is provided, detailing the options for enclosure material, area classification, visual display, shaft material, conduit entries, O-rings, pilot spool, Cv values, and override features. Customers can customize their orders based on specific requirements.
Global Certifications: TopWorx products are certified for use in hazardous areas with certifications such as IECEx, ATEX, GOST, InMetro, UL, KOSHA, and NEPSI. They are designed to operate in extreme conditions, including high and low temperatures and sub-sea environments.
Technology and Innovation: The document emphasizes TopWorx's leadership in process automation technology, utilizing wireless technologies and fieldbus protocols to reduce installation costs and enable predictive maintenance.
Global Support: TopWorx provides extensive global support with offices in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Over 200 Certified Product Partners are available worldwide to offer local support.
About Emerson: Emerson Process Management is highlighted as a global leader in process improvement technology, offering comprehensive solutions for optimizing plant operations and enhancing productivity and profitability.

Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) There are three recognized techniques for determining Probability of Failure on Demand for a SIS. They are Simplified Calculation, Fault Tree Analysis, and Markov Analysis. Simplified Calculation is both the least complex and the most conservative: PFDavg = (Failure rate)2 * test interval Failure Rate = 1/MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is obtained by adding the PFD value of each of the components in the SIS and then comparing the value to the figures in Table 3. PFDPLC + PFDSENSOR...

COMMON METHODS OF PARTIAL STROKE TESTING Partial Stroke Testing (PST) Since an Emergency Shutdown Valve is typically static in the full open position for long periods of time, it is necessary to test its functionality from time to time to prove its reliability and availability in accordance with its SIL rating. In the past it was necessary to fully close the valve during testing, requiring the plant to undergo a costly shutdown or install an expensive bypass valve. Now, however, modern-day “Partial Stroke Test” devices promise to eliminate those costs while simultaneously improving safety. During...

Common Partial Stroke Test Methods (con’t) The TopWorx Solution In effect, none of the conventional Partial Stroke Test devices that exist today deliver a high-value combination of functionality and price. Some have reasonable prices, but their functionality is too limited. Others have excellent functionality, but are too complex and excessively priced. Fortunately, TopWorx™ has created TopWorx™ D-ESD Valve Controllers - a low-cost, high-functionality partial stroke testing solution. The D-ESD hits the “sweet spot” of the market by combining the advantages of common partial stroke test devices...
