System 800xA High Integrity is available up to and including Quad configuration to allow end users to tailor their safety system solutions to specific process requirements to optimise efficiency and cost while protecting the process, personnel and the environment.
The latest version of the modular, scalable System 800xA High Integrity SIS includes several new features designed to augment safety integrity. While it has the highest hardware commonality on the market, System 800xA High Integrity utilises embedded hardware and software diversity in the logic solver and I/) subsystem, with diverse execution paths to detect any potential random failures. It includes additional SIL 3 libraries for shut-down applications, and provides combined non-SIL, SIL 2 and SIL 3 applications for increased safety protection and process efficiency.
