🛡️ Integration of SIS with DCS — Explained Simply

In modern plants, SIS and DCS work together… but they must remain independent 👇

⚙️ What is DCS?

➡️ Distributed Control System
➡️ Handles normal process control

Controls:
🔹 Temperature
🔹 Pressure
🔹 Flow
🔹 Level

👉 Goal = Keep process running

⚙️ What is SIS?

➡️ Safety Instrumented System
➡️ Protects plant during dangerous conditions

👉 Goal = Keep process safe

🔗 Why integrate SIS with DCS?

Both communicate…
but SIS always remains independent for safety integrity

💡 Simple understanding

👉 DCS runs the plant
👉 SIS saves the plant
