In Part 7 of “Understanding Alarm Trips,” we explore how redundant architectures and voting strategies help prevent nuisance trips and increase process reliability. You’ll learn why relying on a single alarm trip can fall short in critical processes, and how using multiple sensors with schemes like one-out-of-two, two-out-of-two, or two-out-of-three improves safety, filters out false alarms, and avoids costly downtime. Real-world examples, such as flare stack monitoring in refineries and gas plants, demonstrate how redundancy not only enhances protection but also improves process availability, reduces maintenance demands, and facilitates smoother plant operations.
