Abstract

This paper focuses on failure modes and mechanisms of the main sensors used in Oil&Gas field, especially for Safety application, in the Safety Instrumented System design. Moreover, the role of the on-board diagnostic will be also discuss and how it improves the capability to detect a failure mode in the sensors used in safety critical applications.
