Explanation:
Debido a las situaciones peligrosas que se pueden presentar en los procesos industriales, se hace necesario analizar y estudiar las mismas con la finalidad de diseñar e implementar los enclavamientos adecuados seguridad que permiten establecer un control rígido de seguridad en la planta.

An interlock is a device used to prevent undesired states in a state machine, which in a general sense can include any electrical, electronic, or mechanical device or system. In most applications an interlock is used to help prevent a machine from harming its operator or damaging itself by stopping the machine when tripped. Household microwave ovens are equipped with interlock switches which disable the magnetron if the door is opened. Similarly household washing machines will interrupt the spin cycle when the lid is open. Interlocks also serve as important safety devices in industrial settings, where they protect employees from devices such as robots, presses, and hammers. While interlocks can be something as sophisticated as curtains of infrared beams and photodetectors, they are often just switches.

The types of interlock system are based on the principle of key exchange. The lock is arranged such that valves can only be operated in a predetermined sequence from locked open to locked closed or locked closed to locked open which is designed to maintain production, availability and safety of systems. The lock mechanism is designed to ensure that valves are always either fully open or fully closed.

Generally, the system is based on operating principle of one key free when valve is locked closed and the other key free when valve is locked open. Following is a typical case explain valve interlocking system and its sequence of operation.
