aeSolutions’ next generation of fire and gas alarm and control solutions for the industrial market has arrived. The FGS 5000 combines the required functionality into a Rockwell control logix control platform.
The FGS 5000 was designed to give customers a reliable, easy-to-maintain fire and gas platform that instrument techs familiar with the Rockwell control system platform can maintain and troubleshoot. The system is designed to be highly scalable, from small 50 I/O systems up to systems with 500+ I/O.
A critical component of the FGS 5000 is an FM Approved secondary power supply system consisting of a charger panel and an associated self-contained battery system. To support system design, aeSolutions has developed an FM Approved battery sizing tool which confirms the battery system design based on the specific requirements of each application.
By using the same hardware/software platform as end users using Rockwell BPCS systems and infrastructure, the FGS 5000 can be integrated into the entire plant system solution. It offers the advantages of common HMIs, spare parts, training, engineering/configuration tools, maintenance, and procedures to save installed and lifecycle costs dramatically.
The aeSolutions FM Approved family of Fire & Gas systems are designed to the latest standards using our first-hand industry experience.
Gas Monitoring & Control
The FGS 5000 has also been FM Approved to be in conformance with FM Approval’s Combustible Gas Standard 6320, Toxic Gas Detection Standard 6340 and ANSI/ISA 12.13.01 Performance Requirements for Combustible Gas Detectors standard.
Fire System Monitoring & Control
The FGS 5000 has been FM Approved to be in conformance with the requirements of NFPA 72 and FM 3010 standard for fire alarming and mitigation control. The system has approval for either simplex or redundant processors, a variety of I/O configurations, including remote I/O, and a battery back-up/charger subsystem.
