Medium-Voltage Controllable Fuse (MVCF) provides arc-flash protection on the low-voltage side of a medium- voltage transformer by using a plug-in retrofit to existing MV fuses at low cost and minimal installation downtime and maintenance. MVCF is reported to be the first fuse to provide normal short-circuit and overload protection, while having the capability to open on command.

NX Series safety controllers have added a standalone version that uses safety over EtherNet/IP, which allows it to be adapted to a wide range of safety applications. Its expandable design makes it scalable for systems with just a few I/O up to those with 256 I/O points. Programmed with Sysmac Studio software, NX Safety Control Unit supports any type of safety actuator.

DeltaV SIS, Version 13, uses non-interfering Local Safety Network Bridge (LSNB) to provide safety-rated communication for multiple local safety networks over a redundant Ethernet safety network. Virtual simulation of DeltaV SIS with electronic marshalling can simulate an entire DeltaV SIS system, including Charms Smart Logic Solver (CSLS), SZ controllers and LSNB to verify safety logic.

OptiSISsolution is a pre-engineered SIS that eases deployment and reduces lead times for process applications of 50 or 100 I/O points. OptiSISsolution accommodates digital and analog I/O and has simplex I/O and fault-tolerant (dual) I/O versions. It also meets requirements up to SIL 3, is compliant with IEC 61511/ISA 84.00.01 and uses ready-to-install, TÜV-certified hardware and validated software.

MACX Analog Ex signal conditioners are 12.5 mm wide, include one or two channels with SIL reliability data, and link control and field devices in EX and non-EX locations. MACX can serve as a safe power limitation in IS circuits in potentially explosive areas, up to Class I, Div. 1 and Zone 0. Due to SIL calculations, according to EN 61508-1, they can be designed into safety-related applications.

To help process applications migrate to digital networking, Hipro-S V2 safety protocol enables Ethernet-based, safety-related communication (SIL 3) with UDP packets. It safely communicates between Hima’s three safety controller families—HIMatrix, HIMax and HIQuad. HIPRO-S V2 doesn’t need a separate certificate because it’s a component of HIQuad, HIMax and HIMatrix controllers.

One Series safety transmitter reportedly is the first SIL 2-certified transmitter designed solely for safety applications, so it doesn’t have to be adapted for safety as traditional process transmitters do. One Series response time is less than 100 milliseconds; it’s available in versions that monitor temperature and pressure; and it provides 4-20 mA, NAMUR-standard output with "I Am Working" diagnostics.
