Istec presents its SIL rated overspeed protection system: The SpeedSys 200. The system broadens the range of rotating machinery that is eligible for high integrity overspeed detection and suits a growing demand for SIL-certified offerings.
The overspeed protection market is mainly occupied by rack-based systems that are overly complex for smaller or less critical rotating equipment, according to Istec. SpeedSys 200 negates complexity by delivering the core layer of SIL rated overspeed protection with a compact architecture. Its small technical and financial impact enables accessibility to a wider range of rotating equipment without any safety concessions.
One of the major drivers of change within the machine protection market is the global adoption of SIL, which applies to both large and small rotating equipment. End-users want to comply to these standards to reach and maintain their safety levels. Industrial standards and insurance companies impose the use of functional safety to a wider range of applications. The SpeedSys 200 architecture suits the technical and economic environment of both large and small rotating machinery.
