TriLogTM

TriLog is a message logger, it is designed to monitor up to four Triguard SC300E systems accepting and storing sequence of event and alarm messages from each system. It uses a dedicated PC with Windows NTTM compliance. Windows are allocated to display time and date together with current and archived information from each system

International Standards

Quality

ABB quality system meets International Standards and is certified to the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001 1994, Certificate Number FM 1353 for safety systems and products. The certification for Quality Assurance at ABB, covers all aspects of design, manufacturing, testing, software verification, software validation and service activities.

Third Party Certification

With the ever increasing demand for independent international certification and end user specific approvals, ABB’s products meet the requirements outlined in the standards and guide lines as follows: TUV Rheinland/Berlin Brandenburg (and Product Services) Safety Related Applications – Requirement Class 5 and 6/VDE 0801 Suitable up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3)/IEC61508 see http://www.tuvasi.com European Union CE Mark Low voltage directive EMC directive USA/Canada UL/C Industrial Control Equipment GOST Russian guidelines for safety related systems IEC 61508 Functional safety requirements to Safety Integrity Levels 1 to 3 NFPA 72 8501 and 8502 EN

Rigorous control of any hardware or software change is maintained and internal and external audits are performed at regular intervals to ensure the highest quality of product prior to shipment. Product pre-delivery quality assurance includes a 100% test to ensure product quality to the customer on delivery.

Increased awareness of safety integral design has been brought about by the introduction of international legislation IEC 61508. These standards require formal assessment of hazards to take place and the use of certified systems for all hazardous processes. Comprehensive product testing is performed at board and system levels including temperature and power cycling to eliminate infant mortality failures
