ICS Triplex has chosen the Green Hills Platform for Industrial Safety for its next generation of safety-rated, fault-tolerant control and safety systems. The Green Hills Platform for Industrial Safety - based on the IEC61508 TUV-certified Integrity RTOS - will allow ICS Triplex to design and deliver control systems that meet and exceed the most stringent international safety standards, while providing the highest availability and lowest cost of ownership of any safety-rated control system currently available. The Platform for Industrial Safety includes the Integrity (or Velosity) royalty-free real-time operating system, certified by TUV to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) of the IEC61508 safety standard.
SIL3 is the highest assurance level achievable for an individual software component, such as an operating system.
For over 35 years, ICS Triplex has been a leading manufacturer of safety-critical shutdown and control systems for the world's premier companies in oil and gas, petrochemicals, fine chemicals, aerospace and power generation.
The family of safety systems from ICS Triplex has been successfully installed and maintained worldwide in applications such as emergency shutdown, fire and gas, burner management, electricity distribution control and rocket launch control.
