title: A fixed monitoring solution.
abstract: A comprehensive, plant-wide hazardous gas risk management system needs to be capable of bringing together all of the necessary information that allows the operator to make decisions correctly and quickly that protect plant and personnel. Such a system incorporates digital communication links from each sensor to the controller and links the gas detection control system to Ethernet for plant-wide access. The digital communications link between sensors and controller allows the use of modules for alarm relays and displays to be easily added wherever they are needed. Digital communications from the controller allow this valuable information to be used with MMI programs or DCS.
