In Part 2 of "Understanding Alarm Trips", we take a closer look at the differences between “hard” and “soft” alarms in industrial safety and control systems. You’ll learn how hard-wired alarms provide independent, real-time protection—even when PLCs or BPCS systems fail—and why they are often used in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) for critical redundancy. We also explore how hard alarms support compliance with Functional Safety standards like IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, and the key benefits they offer in fast-moving or hazardous process environments.
