Hello Mr. Ravi,
It is not a fact that Triconex is the only product for safety applications like ESD & FGS. I used to use Triconex earlier but eventually we replaced all the Triconex systems with other Safety PLCs due to support issue, availability of spares and overall operating costs for maintaining Triconex PLC.
There are now good systems available from Siemens, GE Fanuc, Honeywell, ICS, HIMA in the market at more competitive rates meeting all the functional requirements for ESD and FGS applications as that of Triconex.
We have Honeywell's FSC in one refinery and we are very much satisfied with the performance and support we are getting from Honeywell for the same. In fact the engineering is very easy and we are doing the necessary changes ourselves in the plant. For new expansion we are commissioning Safety Manager for both ESD and FGS applications. We found it is further better than FSC in design and for maintenance.
So don't worry... You are now not dependent on only Triconex.
Regards,
Prasad
