| Other name | Safety and automation system |
| Abbreviation | SAS[1] |
| Main functions | Control and monitoring |
| Introduced by | Honeywell |
| Inception | 1970s |
A safety automation system, also known as safety and automation system,[2] abbreviated as SAS,[3] is a safety-related system[4] designed to conduct one or more safety automation functions.[5] It mainly provides control and monitoring functions,[6] and operates independently from other systems.[7] The system can immediately and automatically act when a danger alert is generated.[8] An earlier SAS product was the Teleperm XS.[9]
SAS products are mainly applied in the industries of petroleum,[10] chemical,[11] pharmaceuticals,[12] building,[13] and nuclear power plant control system.[14] In the 1990s, Norway developed the NORSOK Standards, among which the I-002 Standard was specifically designed for SASs in the petroleum industry.[15] The representative SAS product manufacturers include Norfass,[16] ABB,[17] Chenzhu,[18] and Kongsberg.[19]
History
In 1975, Honeywell introduced the TDC 2000, which was one of the earliest safety automation systems.[20] In 1980, Siemens launched another SAS product.[20]
