OpenPLC + ARMxy Application Case: Pressure Protection System for Chemical Plant Reactor
Case Details

Application Scenario
Safety interlock for high-pressure polymerization reactors.

System Configuration

  • ARMxy Explosion-Proof Controller

  • X-DI Module (monitors pressure switches and emergency stop buttons)

  • X-DO Module (controls pressure relief solenoid valves)

Implementation

  • Digital Input Monitoring:

    • Mechanical pressure switches (normally closed contacts)

    • Dual-channel temperature switches (redundant design for enhanced safety)

  • When the set pressure threshold is reached, the X-DO Module triggers a three-stage pressure relief process.

  • All event records are transmitted to the DCS (Distributed Control System) via RS485 communication.

Advantages

  • Safety personnel can remotely access interlock event logs.

  • Fully compliant with IEC 61511 SIL3 safety integrity level requirements.

  • Combined with BLRAT and OpenPLC, enables remote control and operation, reducing the need for on-site human intervention and enhancing personnel safety.
