Application case

In the field of oil and chemical engineering: In large oil refineries, the TRICONEX MA2211-100 module can be used to monitor and control the status of various key equipment. For instance, the operational status of pumps, valves and other equipment in the crude oil distillation unit is collected in digital form. Signals such as the start and stop status of pumps and the opening and closing status of valves are transmitted to the control system. Once an abnormal state occurs, an alarm can be triggered in time and corresponding measures can be taken to ensure the safe and stable operation of the oil refining process. In addition, in the ethylene cracking unit, this module can also be used to process the safety interlock signals of the cracking furnace, ensuring the safety of the cracking furnace under complex working conditions.

In the field of power: In thermal power plants, the MA2211-100 module can be used in the protection system of steam turbines. It can receive digital signals such as rotational speed, vibration and displacement from various parts of the steam turbine. When these parameters exceed the set threshold, the module quickly transmits the signals to the tripping logic system to achieve emergency tripping protection of the steam turbine and prevent equipment damage. In substations, this module can be used to monitor the opening and closing status of switchgear and the action signals of various protection relays, providing accurate data support for the automatic monitoring and operation and maintenance management of substations.

In the field of natural gas: In a certain natural gas processing plant, the TRICONEX safety system is combined with ORB to build a complete solution. The relevant modules of TRICONEX include the MA2211-100 module, which is used to collect digital signals from on-site equipment, such as the operating status signals of compressors and the on-off signals of pipeline valves, etc. In combination with the redundant OPC server, the availability of event sequence (SOE) data for the OPC A&E client application has been increased, and the performance of the factory safety system has been improved.

In the field of steel and metallurgy: During the blast furnace ironmaking process in steel plants, the MA2211-100 module can be used to monitor the digital signals corresponding to various key parameters of the blast furnace, such as the top pressure of the furnace and the switch signals of the furnace temperature detection points. Accurately transmit these signals to the blast furnace automation control system so that the operators can grasp the operating status of the blast furnace in real time, adjust the production parameters promptly, ensure the stable operation of the blast furnace, and at the same time, quickly activate the safety protection measures in case of abnormal situations to avoid accidents. In addition, in the tilting system of the steelmaking converter, the limit switch signal of the converter tilting Angle can be monitored through this module to ensure the safety and accuracy of the converter tilting operation.
