Process Control Systems for Nuclear Power Applications
Curtiss-Wright has developed a series of Process Control Systems built to improve performance, increase security, and optimize plant operations. Our SER approved, credited as digitally diverse, FPGA solution, the Digital Safety System, provides state-of-the-art functions, services, and safeguards for safety applications in the nuclear industry.
Digital solutions, like the Plant Process Computers (PPC), Digital Safety Systems (DSS), and Digital Control Systems (DCS) upgrade or replace existing technologies to optimize plant performance and improve data management, creating more effective systems designed to mitigate obsolescence.
Modern Analog Safety Systems (MASS) are designed to mirror the best qualities of older analog systems, while also implementing the benefits of modern technologies, improving system longevity and efficiency.
