Integration of PCE in the Safety Concept

Process control engineering (PCE) is used at aU levels shown in Table 4.1, i.e. 

The area of use, scope and type of the PCE are determined by safety analyses. Simple configurations should be preferred and care should be taken that false alarms do not provoke dangerous states of the plant. 

The PCE equipment controls the specified operation. The system implements the automatic functions required for the production. It measures and controls all the process parameters necessary for the production including auxiliary functions such as logging and report generation.
