Invensys Operations Management Triconex Trident safety system v2.1.1

Invensys Operations Management has announced the availability of version 2.1.1 of its Triconex Trident safety system. Two input modules are now provided that are designed to enhance worker safety, reduce downtime and deliver more accurate trip analysis in power and turbomachinery applications. One module enables faster response to unsafe equipment conditions; another optimises trip data analysis to prevent future upsets.

The faster response time of the Trident system is the result of an enhanced pulse input module, which measures speed, rate-of-speed change and the rate of acceleration of rotating equipment in milliseconds. This enables faster prediction of over-speed conditions, which can jeopardise personnel, interrupt operations and damage equipment.

The optimised trip analysis is the result of a high-resolution digital input module, which monitors changes of state and sequence of events (SOE) and provides a timestamp resolution of one millisecond with an accuracy of one millisecond. Process trips generate valuable information about the conditions that caused the shutdown.

The scalable safety system is based on triple modular redundant technology that helps users protect plant personnel and production assets, as well as achieve compliance with rigorous environmental standards by providing high system availability and reliability.
