Kongsberg PSS 8100184 Product Details
1. Product Overview
The Kongsberg PSS 8100184 is a safety-certified programmable safety system (PSS) engineered for critical safety control in maritime, offshore, and industrial sectors. It serves as a core component for emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas (F&G) monitoring, and machinery protection systems—essential for mitigating operational risks, complying with safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508 SIL 3), and protecting personnel and assets in high-risk environments.
Integrating redundant hardware architecture and fail-safe logic processing, it ensures reliable operation even in the event of component failures. Compatibility with Kongsberg’s K-Safe product family and standard industrial safety protocols makes it a trusted solution for safety-critical applications.

3. Product Specifications & Features
3.1 Core Specifications
The Kongsberg PSS 8100184 is optimized for safety-critical control, with SIL 3 certification meeting the strictest safety requirements for offshore ESD and industrial machinery protection. Its redundant CPU architecture ensures no single point of failure—if one CPU fails, the backup takes over within ≤10 ms, maintaining uninterrupted safety control.
Support for up to 32 I/O modules and 256 digital inputs enables integration with diverse safety sensors (e.g., gas detectors, emergency stop buttons) and actuators (e.g., shutdown valves, alarms). The dual Ethernet ports facilitate separate communication paths for safety logic and system diagnostics, enhancing operational reliability.
3.2 Key Features
-
SIL 3 Safety Compliance: Meets IEC 61508/61511 SIL 3 standards, suitable for high-risk applications like offshore oil platform ESD systems.
-
Redundant Architecture: Dual CPU and power supply eliminate single points of failure, ensuring 99.99% operational availability.
