Integrated DCS and SIS or Isolated Systems

Which systems are better?

The original separate Safety Instrumented Systems where the logic solver is totally different or the integrated version, where the same system has two different kinds of controllers/logic solvers-one type for the BPCS and another type for the SIS?

Note that the integrated SIS DCS does not imply that it is one common system, it is just integrated for ease of use an convenience.

Thus the configuration software may have different types of logic blocks, some meant exclusively for use in safety functions, whereas other can be used in the normal BPCS functions. If the logic solvers/ controllers need to communicate with other logic solvers, then it has to be over a "safety bus".
