• Unmanned Installations 

• FPSOs

Product Family

The ABB Triguard SC300E TMR product family gives unrivalled performance in areas of reliability, availability, test coverage, diagnostics and simplicity of operation. Advances in technology and improved production methods add cost benefits that give significant price/performance advantages.

• Fewer unscheduled stoppages  highest availability, fault tolerant electronics with transient immunity and 3–2–0 or 3–2–1–0 voting 

• Security for plant, product and people  fail-safe operation at all levels provides plant, product and personnel with the highest security 

• Quality data sequence of event and extensive diagnostics keep the op

Highest Availability

The Triguard SC300E achieves the highest possible TMR availability (99.999%) by maximising the  Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and decreasing the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).

Modern low power integrated technology allows the TMR architecture to be cost effective for  an increasing range of high integrity applications.

Simple to Use, Operate  and Maintain

The Triguard SC300E TMR product functions as a single set of hardware and software. The three processors and triplicated I/O circuitry are transparent to the user. Purchasing a Triguard SC300E system will provide:

• Lowest Life Cycle Cost 

• The Maximum Safety and Availability 

• The Highest Level of Safety and  On-Line Maintenance

Fail Safe Operation

Failure modes of the processors, input/output circuitry, control program and watchdog timer circuits are managed so that circuits will default to a predetermined safe state.

Highest Speed of Response

By using advanced processor technology, whilst maintaining the stability of the original core software, Triguard SC300E delivers an unrivalled scan time resolution  of 10ms.

Easy to Use Software – WindowsTM

TriBuildTM configuration and application programming and TriCommandTM Server (WONDERWARE© MMI interface software) are WindowsTM compliant, making the system easier to use for the engineer and the operator. For customers with existing ABB equipment “backward compatibility” is provided making upgrading or adding new facilities economic to implement.

TriBuildTM and TriCommandTM Server can be used with Windows NTTM. Features include:

• True multitasking capability 

• Strategies can be saved on-line without halting the system operation 

• Ability to upload the configuration 

• Changes can be made on-line without halting the system operation 

• Bumpless changeover of hot repair modules 

• Comprehensive diagnostic displays for ease of maintenance
