TRICON TMR-based fire and gas systems improve plant operations by always responding in a predetermined manner. The fire and gas logic is implemented in a fault-tolerant TMR control architecture that ensures that no single point of failure will cause an inadvertent action or prevent the fire and gas system from alarming and taking appropriate actions.
All system failure modes are designed so that a loss of any component (CPU, IOP module, power supply, communications, etc.) is not only alarmed but will allow the system to isolate the failure and continue providing safe and uninterrupted operation.
National and international standards for safety and critical control systems require that companies document that their systems are designed, maintained, inspected, tested, and operated in a safe manner. For compliance with the standards, procedures must be written for operating, testing, and maintaining the system. Triconex can, in addition to providing the fire and gas system, develop this documentation for your specific application.
Depending on your system philosophy, Triconex's fire and gas system can be supplied as a complete stand-alone solution with operator interface or tightly integrated into a plant-wide Distributed Control System (DCS). Triconex has developed standard function blocks and communications modules that make connection of the TRICON fire and gas system to third party devices simple, eliminating the need for custom programming or additional third party hardware.
Value Proposition Statement
Triconex offers fire and gas applications knowledge and provides up-front analysis and consultation, system and equipment design, fabrication and integration, programming, FAT, installation and commissioning, and on-going services. The fire and gas system is based on proven TRICON Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) hardware that allows the TRICON to achieve fault tolerance. We have nearly two decades of applications knowledge in most industries, e.g. oil and gas, petrochemical, pulp and paper, etc.
