  • Discrete logic safety systems for smart process control devices
    Patent number: 11403158
    Abstract: Discrete logic safety systems for smart process control devices are disclosed. A discrete logic safety system includes a heartbeat monitor to be operatively coupled to a processor of the process control device to monitor a first condition of the processor, a sensor monitor to be operatively coupled to a sensor of the process control device to monitor a second condition of the sensor, and first discrete logic operatively couple to the heartbeat monitor and the sensor monitor to generate a failure indication associated with the process control device based on the first condition or the second condition.
