HFT – how to implement an inhibit?
For input, may require HFT=1 for SIL3, e.g.
• Limit switch indicating correct valve position AND
• Pressure measurement confirming correct valve position
Final element:
• Software inhibit (operator cannot try to open)
• Hardwired inhibit (take power off open circuit)
• Both?
