Product Use

The TRICONEX 8120E rack is primarily used in industries that require high availability and reliability for safety-critical systems. Common applications include:

1. Process Safety Systems (SIS):
   • Protecting industrial processes from unsafe conditions by detecting and mitigating hazards such as high pressure, temperature, or toxic gas concentrations.
2. Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD):
   • Automatically shutting down processes in response to a detected fault or dangerous condition to prevent accidents, explosions, or environmental damage.
3. Fire and Gas Detection Systems:
   • Monitoring critical process areas for fire or gas leaks, and triggering alarms or shutdowns when necessary.
4. Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS):
   • The 8120E rack supports the implementation of SIS that meet the highest safety integrity levels (SIL 3) required in industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, and nuclear power.
5. High-Risk Industries:
   • Power plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, and mining operations, where the potential consequences of equipment failure could be catastrophic.
