Safety  Feature​s

User-Selectable Fail Open or Fail Closed Relay Contacts
Operators can configure the relay outputs to determine the device’s state in case of control system failure, ensuring flexible safety configurations.

Triple Redundant Overspeed Protection
The overspeed protection system now integrates triple redundant speed inputs and a high-speed processor for enhanced precision. Online testing is available, allowing operators to adjust trip setpoints per module and monitor trip relay statuses in real time​.

Hardwired Trips
The system maintains three independent hardwired trip provisions, ensuring redundancy and immediate response to unsafe conditions.

Verification of Speed Probe Integrity on Turning Gear
TurboNet DASH 2 enhances speed probe verification by utilizing triple redundant passive speed probe inputs for precise low-speed detection (>2 RPM). The improved diagnostic system prevents unintended startup failures​.

Fail-Safe Hydraulic Valve Control
Maintains control over OEM hydraulic valves without requiring costly electric retrofits. Unlike some retrofitters that use belts to connect actuators, TurboNet DASH 2’s system directly integrates with hydraulic servos, eliminating failure-prone third-party modules.

Vibration Thrust & Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) Monitoring
Includes advanced vibration monitoring with diagnostic plotting, FFT analysis up to 128 Hz, and real-time shaft position tracking. The system directly integrates with proximity and seismic probes without additional hardware, reducing installation complexity​.

Fail-Safe Overspeed Protection
TurboNet DASH 2 prevents bypassing overspeed trip logic by maintaining continuous speed monitoring across all turbine operating ranges, including turning gear speeds. The relay logic ensures immediate trip activation if any overspeed module fails.
