90 Endress+Hauser
Heartbeat Verification Availability
Available for the following versions of feature 540 "Application package":
• EH: Heartbeat Verification + Monitoring
• EJ: Heartbeat Verification
Device functionality checked on demand
• Verification of the correct functioning of the measuring device within specifications.
• The verification result provides information about the condition of the device: Passed or Failed.
• The results are documented in a verification report.
• The automatically generated report supports the obligation to demonstrate compliance with
internal and external regulations, laws and standards.
• Verification is possible without interrupting the process.
Advantages
• No onsite presence is required to use the function.
• The DTM
3)
triggers verification in the device and interprets the results. No specific knowledge is
required on the part of the user.
• The verification report can be used to prove quality measures to a third party.
• Heartbeat Verification can replace other maintenance tasks (e.g. periodic check) or extend the
test intervals.
SIL/WHG-locked devices
4)
• The Heartbeat Verification module contains a wizard for the proof test which must be performed
at appropriate intervals for the following applications:
• SIL (IEC61508/IEC61511)
• WHG (German Water Resources Act)
• To perform a proof test, the device must be locked (SIL/WHG locking).
• The wizard can be used via FieldCare, DeviceCare or a DTM-based process control system.
In the case of SIL-locked and WHG-locked devices, it is not possible to perform verification
without taking additional measures (e.g. bridging the output current) because the output
current must be simulated (Increased safety mode) or the level must be approached manually
(Expert mode) during subsequent re-locking (SIL/WHG locking).
