To improve usability, the field Automatic Channel Count is set to True and is disabled for Protective Instrument Loop logic solvers for ExSILentia V4 Loops. | US601998 |
| Description | Tracking ID |
|---|---|
| Previously, when you created a custom Protective Instrument Device (Sensor) in the Custom Failure Data section, the Trip State field was disabled. This issue has been resolved. | DE208475 |
| Previously, for a Protective Instrument Loop, when you attempted to link or unlink either a Protective Instrument Loop System, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved. | DE207797 |
| Previously, if the Hazards Analysis and Management of Change licenses were inactive, and if you attempted to access the Team Members section of an SIL analysis, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved. | DE204885 |
| Previously, when you printed the SRS report, the page layout of the PDF file did not appear as expected. This issue has been resolved. | DE203752 |

To support the latest updates on Exida Libraries, APM now implements the following libraries and calculation engine:
| F70314 |
The validation function has been enhanced to include all fields suffixed with an asterisk (*) in the following datasheets, even if any of the field receives a default value for calculation:
| US599913 |
| When you copy an Instrumented Function, the associated Instrumented Data of all the selected records are also copied. To facilitate this enhancement, a new window Select the record(s) to Copy now appears, enabling you to select from the related families and records that you want to copy. | US591608 |
| To enhance usability, you can now identify and search devices marked as Proven In Use in the sensor, logic server, and final elements. To facilitate this enhancement, the search pop-ups have been converted to standard result grids. A new column, Proven In Use has been added to the result grid to filter out the devices that you have marked as Proven In Use. | US585384 |
| To enhance usability, you can now import Protective Instrument Loops with a maximum of 10 groups from Exida. | US582865 |
| To enhance usability, you can now view the Risk Reduction Factor and SIL required in the Loop Diagram and Calculation page and Datasheet. To facilitate this enhancement, the Required Risk Reduction Factor field is added in the Protective Instrument Loop datasheet. Also, the SIL-Required and Required Risk Reduction Factor fields are added to the Loop Diagram and Calculation page. | US577194 |
| To enhance usability, you can now upgrade Protective Instrument Loops in bulk from exSILentia V3 to V4. The Protective Instrument Loops will then use the exSILentia V4 calculation engine. To facilitate this enhancement, a button named Upgrade All to V4 is now available in the SIS Admin Preferences page. | US476806 |

|---|---|
| Previously, in the Protective Instrument Loop datasheet, the drop-down picklist of the Test Architecture Constraints field, had duplicate values. This issue is now resolved. | DE205310 |
| Previously, in a Protective Instrument Loop Sensor Group or a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element Group with multiple Sensors or Final Elements respectively, if you removed the Sensors or Final Elements such that only one of them remained, the calculation of the Protective Instrument Loop failed. This issue occurred only if you selected the Diverse check box. This issue has been resolved. | DE204116 |
| Previously, when you imported an ExSILentia V3 (.exi) file, Unit ID value for the Safety Instrumented Function was not populated. This issue has been resolved. | DE204029 |
| Previously, in a Protective Instrument Loop Sensor, the Analog Trip field contained 0 as one of the options. This issue has been resolved. Now, the value appears as None. | DE203996 |
| Previously, in a Protective Instrument Loop report, the Proof Test Interval (PTI) value for a Sensor System and Final Element System appeared as N/A. This issue has been resolved. | DE203437 |
| Previously, if a custom device was added to the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor, the Analog Trip field was not editable in the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor datasheet. This issue has been resolved. | DE203085 |
| Previously, when you attempted to access a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element record using global search, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved. | DE200353 |
| Previously, if the Calculated SIL Level for a LOPA was 0, and if you used the LOPA to create a SIL Assessment, the Risk Reduction Factor, Probability of Failure, and Availability Target fields contained incorrect values. This issue has been resolved. | DE199411 |
| Previously, the Proof Test Tasks that were linked to a Functional Location did not appear in the SIS Management Overview page. This issue has been resolved. | DE196005 |
