The MRCS Modular Redundancy Control System is designed for safety‑related pneumatic applications where reliable exhaust and continuous monitoring are critical.
It provides a robust, solution for integrating redundancy into pneumatic safety circuits, supporting high-performance requirements without unnecessary system complexity.
Modular Redundancy for Safety‑Related Pneumatic Control
The MRCS is a flexible, modular control system designed to deliver redundant monitoring and controlled exhaust of pneumatic energy in safety‑related applications. Its dual‑channel architecture continuously monitors system integrity and automatically transitions the system to a safe, exhausted state in the event of a detected fault.
Not Safety‑Certified for Isolation
MRCS does not provide safety‑certified isolation of pneumatic energy. Where safe isolation is required as part of the risk assessment, a separate safety‑rated isolation valve must be incorporated into the system. MRCS is intended to complement, not replace, isolation devices within a complete safety architecture.
Fault Detection and Safe Exhaust
Continuous monitoring ensures internal faults are detected early, with automatic exhaust of the pneumatic output to achieve a defined safe state. This supports predictable system behaviour and simplifies validation of the overall safety function.
Integration into Complete Safety Systems
MRCS is typically integrated with:
- Safety‑rated isolation valves
- Dual‑channel safety inputs
- Safety PLCs or relay‑based safety controls
This modular approach enables system designers to tailor safety solutions to specific application risks without over‑engineering.
