Maintain Instrumented Protection Systems (IPS)

Fundamental
Introduction

Process operating facilities utilize instrumentation to monitor and control processes. The process
may become hazardous to operating facility personnel, the community, and the environment if
control is lost. The Instrumented Protection System (IPS) plays a vital role in providing a protective
layer around industrial process systems. Whether called an IPS, SIS, emergency or safety shutdown
system, or a safety interlock, its purpose is to take process to a “safe state” when pre-determined
set points have been exceeded or when safe operating conditions have been transgressed.

An Instrumented Protection System (IPS) is a safety system composed of sensors, logic solvers,
final elements, and support systems that is designed and managed to achieve a specified risk
reduction.

In this Course Participants will gain sound and practical understanding of Instrumented Protection
System (IPS) layout , Functional Safety, Instrumented Protection System Technologies, and how to
Maintain Instrumented Protection System.

This training course introduces participants to Basics Maintenance and Testing procedures for the
IPS, Wiring and Loop Diagrams, Input / Output System, and Explain the types of equipment used
for carrying out fault diagnosis on IPS system.

This Course Serves as a Solid Fundamental Course for Introduction to Advanced Understanding of
Maintain Instrumented Protection System.
