The company states that the overspeed protection market is mainly occupied with rack-based systems that are overly complex for smaller or less critical rotating equipment. SpeedSys 200 delivers that functionality in the form factor of a personal computing external hard disc drive.
According to the company, a single module can offer a reliable and economical solution for overspeed protection in micro turbines, compressors and pumps, gas and steam turbines and marine applications.
The system offers SIL 2 certified protection and 8ms response time. It includes two safety relays and one safety analogue output, and is suitable for Hall-effect, electromagnetic or proximity sensors. Redundancy and voting structures can be created for more demanding applications or increased availability.
