SIL725 Safety Annunciator applications in Nuclear Industry
Safety is of paramount importance in the nuclear industry and a key component in nuclear safety systems is the alarm annunciator. Alarm annunciators are considered vital tools in modern safety systems because they provide an additional layer of protection in the safety strategy on the plant. Now that functional safety issues are gaining importance, these concepts are been applied to all modern control equipment and IEC61508 is the acceptable international standard which deals with the functional safety of electrical or electronic safety-related systems. It is often a requirement for all safety-related equipment to comply with the SIL requirements of IEC61508. The new SIL725 Safety Annunciator from RTK Instruments complies with IEC 61508 and has a safety integrity level of SIL2.
Given the growing emphasis on functional safety assessment and risk reduction, and the importance of the role of annunciators in safety planning, the combination of user flexibility and SIL2 certification in the SIL725 Safety Annunciator will be very valuable to all those involved in instrumentation in the worldwide process industry, and particularly the nuclear industry.
Please contact any prospects in the nuclear industry and introduce the SIL725 to them as well as to other prospects who may require annunciators as part of a Safety Instrumented System (SIS).
