Background Profi le
The Products
Trusted
In 1997, a next-generation safety and control TMR
product family named Trusted was introduced.
Building upon the proven technologies of the Regent
and Regent+Plus product families and incorporating
state-of-the-art microprocessors and leading edge
electronic technologies, the Trusted system represents a
breakthrough in performance capabilities for TMR based
safety critical control systems. Compatibility with legacy,
Regent and Regent+Plus systems are built into all the
Trusted products allowing customers a direct migration
path for existing systems.
Trusted uses application programs written and monitored
using the Trusted IEC1131 Toolset. This supports a variety
of communications confi gurations, including Networked
Systems, OPC, MODBUS, Peer to Peer Links controlled
and monitored using both Engineering and Operator
Workstations.
AADvance
AADvance is the next step in automation advancement,
off ering customers an even greater level of choice,
fl exibility and scaleability from their safety and critical
control system.
The AADvance solution is a truly distributed, scaleable
architecture which comprises of both a hardware
controller and a software environment that allows the
user to specify the level of reliability and availability they
need throughout their plant. AADvance off ers a high level
of fl exibility from small quantity I/O to large systems;
non-safety to SIL-3, and fail-safe to multiple fault tolerant.
The single greatest threat to safety remains human
error and the AADvance environment reduces that risk.
Users can control and update their plant-wide safety
management system from a single AADvance workstation,
running several projects from that station while the
controllers distributed throughout the plant communicate
intuitively, vastly reducing time spent updating individual
terminals and the margin for human error.
The Company
ICS Triplex, a Rockwell Automation company has been
manufacturing and supplying safety critical shutdown and
control systems since 1966. The introduction of Triple
Modular Redundant (TMR) systems incorporating Hardware
Implemented Fault Tolerance (HIFT) began with the Regent
product family, which was released in 1985. Over the years,
the technologies that ICS Triplex developed have been
fi eld-proven in hundreds of installations worldwide.
Continuous commitment to research and development
led to the introduction of Trusted™ in 1997 and
AADvance™ in 2007.
In 2007 ICS Triplex was purchased by Rockwell Automation,
a provider of power, control and information systems and
services. The joining of these two companies has increased
the portfolio of products and services and the capability
to provide customers with single integrated plant-wide
automation solutions that can be tailored specifi cally to the
customers needs.
Why is Training Necessary?
The ICS Triplex brand of products are inherently
reliable and as such will normally provide little
opportunity to exercise maintenance skills. If problems
occur, production may be adversely aff ected, unless
suitably trained personnel are available. Training provides
all personnel with the necessary skills required to perform
their responsibilities effi ciently and eff ectively. Training
can be provided to maximise the benefi ts to personnel
in engineering, maintenance and production.
Training for the ICS Triplex Product Range
Rockwell Automation off ers scheduled and customised
training throughout the year. The training programme
contains two standard courses for Trusted and three for
AADvance products covering:
• Comprehensive System Training
• Operation Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Each course is designed to give the participant an under-
standing of the products and their applications, enabling
them to put what they learn into use.
Project-Specifi c Training
Project Training courses can be aligned specifi cally to
your needs. Our fl exibility allows courses to be off ered in
a number of diff erent languages. Courses can be off ered
in locations worldwide at Rockwell Automation offi ces,
customer premises or on-site.
Customised overview courses are also available.
