Alarm and Bypass Management Software Receives TUV Certification

Feb. 14, 2013
Solution has been designed to provide situational awareness and broaden visibility into the risks that come with system startups, shutdowns and other critical process transitions.

Invensys Operations Management has enhanced its Triconex critical control and safety offerings for industrial operations. The new Triconex Safety View alarm and bypass management software has been certified by TÜV Rheinland to IEC61508 Systematic Capability 3 for use in applications up to Safety Integrity Level 3.

In addition, the company’s Triconex Trident and Triconex General Purpose safety instrumented systems now support OPC Universal Architecture for greater communications connectivity. The solution has been designed to provide situational awareness and broaden visibility into the risks that come with system startups, shutdowns and other critical process transitions that must be managed by plant personnel. It draws attention to changes in process conditions that require immediate attention. It is built on the company’s ArchestrA System Platform and Wonderware InTouch HMI software, which have been adapted specifically for use in safety applications.

Invensys has also embedded OPC UA communications with its Triconex Trident and Triconex General Purpose safety instrumented systems. OPC UA maximizes interoperability between systems and streamlines connectivity through open platform architecture and future-proof design. The new communications interface module contains an embedded OPC UA server that supports up to 10 concurrent clients, delivering high performance and secure, reliable communication of real-time data, alarms and historical events.
