Product Features

Enhanced Safety & Availability

• TSxPlus adopts a fully triple modular redundant (2oo3D) design with a 3-2-1-0 degradation mode, ensuring both high safety and operational availability.

Dual Certification for Functional Safety & Cybersecurity

• Achieves functional safety certification alongside European and U.S. cybersecurity certifications, meeting the highest industry standards.

Flexible Multi-Task Configuration

• Supports fast and slow tasks in the same system (e.g., ESD tasks at 200ms cycle time, turbine control tasks at 20ms cycle time).

Ultra-Fast System Response

• Main controller execution cycle can be configured as short as 5ms, enabling control loop response times under 15ms.

Scalable Hardware Expansion

• Supports star and bus topologies, with up to 14 expansion racks per station for flexible system scaling.

Unique System Integration Solutions

• Integrated HART device management

• Dedicated overspeed protection modules

• Vibration & displacement monitoring modules

• Servo control modules

Power Quality Monitoring

• Rack power modules monitor input power conditions, including:

  • Overvoltage levels & occurrences

  • Transient pulse counts

• Data is logged and displayed in the diagnostic software for real-time analysis.
