3701/55 Emergency Shutdown Device
Description
ADAPT ESD, or 3701/55 Emergency Shutdown Device, is a
safety PLC with a graphical logic programming interface
and integrated overspeed detection designed for emergency
shutdown of rotating machinery such as steam, gas, and
hydro turbines, expanders, and other process equipment.
ADAPT ESD is a compact, standalone, triple-redundant,

simple and powerful configuration, graphical logic programming

safety shutdown device that is designed to meet a broad

and testing environment which results from extensive user

range of user scenarios and applications. The design offers

interaction studies with endusers, OEM’s, and our field

a robust electrical and mechanical package with careful

services team.

attention to reliability and availability as well as extensive
self-diagnostics and compliance to industry standards.
Owners and operators of critical machinery will benefit
from ADAPT ESD’s compliance with global industry standards
such as; API 670, API 612, and IEC 61508 and SIL3 certification
(SIL certification pending).

Integration with unit controls, HMI’s, or other plant automation
systems is via Ethernet using Modbus TCP.
