Can PLC systems be used in tank areas with major hazard sources?

2022-03-23View Original

Thread Content

Due to the passage of time, the previous tank farm control systems used PLC control systems, and flammable and toxic gas detectors were also part of this system. It belongs to the category of major hazard sources of level 3; does it meet the current safety requirements?

There is no explicit prohibition against using PLCs

The PLC for control is fine, but combustible gases and toxic gases should be connected to a GDS separately

GDS needs to be made independent; using a PLC is no problem

Not only should a PLC be used, but a SIS system should also be employed as an additional safeguard
