Key Features

• SIL 3 Safety Integrity: Certified for safety‑critical loops (ESD, BMS, interlocks).
• 32‑Channel Supervised DI: Each channel monitors wiring faults (open/short) via EOL resistors.
• TMR Fault Tolerance: Triple‑voted logic ensures no single point of failure.
• Hot‑Swap: Replace module online without system shutdown.
• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Real‑time channel status, fault logging, and remote monitoring.
• Seamless Tricon Integration: Native support for Tricon safety controllers and FTAs/ETPs.

Applications

• Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems: Monitor ESD buttons and process interlocks.
• Burner Management Systems (BMS): Flame switches, fuel pressure interlocks.
• Oil & Gas: Wellhead safety, pipeline pressure monitoring.
• Power Generation: Boiler interlocks, turbine safety systems.
• Chemical & Petrochemical: Reactor safety, pressure/vessel monitoring.
