Safety control system extended to Fire
and Gas
ICS Triplex has announced a new, universal zone module that extends the functionality of its flagship Trusted TMR critical control and safety system to include Fire and Gas (FandG) applications
ICS Triplex has announced a new, universal zone module that extends the functionality of its flagship Trusted(tm) TMR critical control and safety system to include Fire and Gas (F&G) applications The 40 channel F&G Zone Module provides fault tolerant monitoring of any 0-24mA gas detector in addition to any low voltage digital signal with line monitoring such as flame, smoke or heat detectors and manual alarm callpoints

To give maximum flexibility, any or all of the 40 channels can be programmed as outputs, for example for extinguishant release or reset of fire and other alarm functions.
Channel status indication on the module is provided by tri-colour channel by channel configurable LED's.
Because the function of each channel can be configured by the user to suit the required ratio between signal types, the new ZIM can be matched closely and cost effectively to each application.
To provide the outstanding flexibility required for F&G applications, the Zone Module has triplicated DSP's (Digital Signal Processors).
The DSP's are already used for testing and sequence of events recording SOE.
Further enhancements to this local processing capability will include voting of gas alarms and fire inputs as well as self contained local programs with all logic associated with a particular zone(s).
This will enable the module to provide complete field status to system displays without the need for a central processor.
Trusted(tm), ICS Triplex flagship product, is a state of the art Triple Modular Redundant critical control and safety system that provides unique levels of availability: First fault: fault tolerant Second fault: fault tolerant Third fault: fail safe.
