Triconex Safety System Modules from Invensys Enhance System Response Time and Analytics for Rotating Equipment

Invensys Operations Management announced the availability ofversion 2.1.1 of its Triconex(R) Trident(TM) safety system. The new versionhas two new input modules that enhance worker safety, reduce downtime anddeliver more accurate trip analysis in power and turbomachinery applications,helping customers to achieve safety excellence. One new module enables fasterresponse to unsafe equipment conditions; another optimizes trip data analysisto prevent future upsets.

Theoptimized trip analysis is the result of a new high-resolution digital inputmodule, which monitors changes of state and sequence of events (SOE) andprovides a timestamp resolution of one millisecond with an accuracy of onemillisecond. Process trips generate valuable information about the conditionsthat caused the shutdown. Reviewing and analyzing such data can be challengingand time consuming, however, and having SOE data with a one millisecondresolution can be a significant aid in determining the root cause of theshutdown.

By safelymaintaining maximum process uptime, Triconex safety systems can help meet andexceed production targets. The scalable Triconex Trident safety system is basedon industry-proven triple modular redundant (TMR) technology that helpscustomers protect plant personnel and production assets, as well as achievecompliance with rigorous environmental standards by providing the highestsystem availability and reliability.
