2014 Recipients
Rosemount 3051S Advanced Diagnostics Pressure Transmitter
The Rosemount 3051S Advanced Diagnostics pressure transmitter is the industry’s only device to provide comprehensive diagnostics that go beyond the transmitter itself to cover both the electrical loop and the process. The Rosemount 3051S Advanced Diagnostics pressure transmitter has been certified to the IEC 61508:2010 standard and has obtained better failure rates due to its innovative Power Advisory Diagnostics. These diagnostics provide additional insight into previously undetected dangerous failures to increase overall safety. This early detection allows users to proactively respond to and correct potential electrical loop issues before they impact process safety.
Mark VIeS Safety Management System
To help meet the ever-evolving safety challenges of today’s connected world, GE has leveraged its rich history of critical process control to deliver the Mark VIeS Safety Management System. GE now offers the broader commercial market the Mark VIeS Safety Management System, born from a decades-long heritage of turbine protection and control. The Mark VIeS system is a complete, flexible, and reliable engineered process safety system with enhanced cyber security for critical processes such as plant emergency shutdown, burner management, critical process control, fire and gas detection, and turbo machinery safety.
SSX/SST Safety Series Isolator and Splitter
The SSX/SST is a highly versatile, functionally safe isolator with many options. Available as 2-wire loop or 4-wire line/mains powered, it provides isolation and signal conversion, protecting and enhancing SIS loops. It can pass HART® data in both directions, or is available with HART filtering. The 4-wire SST is available as a splitter which takes the input from your process signals and creates two identical, isolated outputs to two devices. It can pass or filter HART data to one or both outputs. All versions have a systematic capability of SIL 3, approved for single use in SIS up to SIL 2.
