In the world of industrial automation, characterized by increasingly complex processes and constantly evolving safety regulations, traditional solutions are struggling to keep pace. Classic safety systems, often separate from process control, have rigid architectures, require specialized skills, and involve high costs. To address these challenges, it is necessary to adopt an integrated, scalable, and future-proof safety system.
Logix SIS: the safety PLC according to Rockwell Automation
Rockwell Automation’s Logix SIS (Safety Instrumented System) represents a new generation of safety PLCs, capable of natively integrating process control and functional safety functions. Designed to meet the highest standards of reliability, Logix SIS is a SIL3-compliant solution according to IEC 61508, perfect for high-risk environments where operational continuity is critical.
The advantages of an integrated security system
1. Full integration with existing automation
Logix SIS uses the ControlLogix® platform shared with standard control systems, eliminating the need for separate hardware and software. This simplifies engineering, reduces start-up times, and allows you to reuse skills and tools already present in your company.
2. Functional safety certified up to SIL3
The system offers maximum protection against critical events, thanks to a redundant architecture that ensures continuous operation even in the event of a failure. Compliance with SIL3 standards guarantees regulatory compliance and reduces the risk of accidents.
3. Scalability for every type of system
Whether it’s a compact application or a complex plant, Logix SIS adapts easily thanks to its modular and flexible structure. Ideal for OEMs, system integrators, and large process plants.
4. Reduction in operating costs
Integration with the Rockwell Automation ecosystem eliminates the need for additional licenses or dedicated security software, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). Maintenance is also simplified thanks to advanced diagnostic tools and online firmware updates.
5. Increased availability and productivity
High availability features, fast scan times, and efficient communication between controllers minimize safety-related downtime, increasing overall plant productivity.
An investment in safety and competitiveness
Logix SIS is not just a safety PLC, but a true pillar for a secure and connected automation architecture. It is the ideal solution for those who want to protect people and assets, simplify engineering, and tackle the challenges of Industry 4.0 with reliable and integrated tools.
