Reliability – high degree of availabilityLinks
3
The fundamental basis of process control is
the potential to create logical, complex links
from all of the information that is available to
a system and to trigger the relevant controls
based on these links.
The work is in the attention to detail. Prior to
system commissioning, every detail of any
conceivable danger situation is taken into
consideration with the collaboration of the
responsible persons. This information is
documented and entered into the multifunc-
tional danger alarm system using the system
parameter settings. This facilitates the efficient
mode of operation of the danger alarm
system. Every danger type and every danger
combination is related to an appropriate
system response which can be relied upon to
make the right decision at all times.
The situation-specific evacuation of a building
can also be implemented without triggering a
high level of panic as well as the deactivation
of manufacturing processes or the disconnec-
tion of the power supply without any data
loss of a data processing system. Emergency
services are also notified, irrespective of
whether this involves company backup forces
or public emergency services. All of these
processes are regulation-compliant, reliable
and fast.
A danger alarm system is responsible for
providing security in a company and for this
exact reason it must possess an extremely
high level of security itself. Cerberus D100
has been designed with this in mind. A number
of security systems operate in parallel. A special
concept has been designed to prevent the
failure of operating devices. If an operating
panel should become inoperable, responsibility
is immediately transferred to another operating
panel.
All components in the system from the field
level (sensors and actuators) to networking
are monitored at all times. A component
failure, an interruption of the connection lines
or a software error is detected immediately
and bypassed by implementing suitable
measures. This makes all significant elements
of Cerberus D100 intelligent, redundant and
fail-safe components.
