MARMOT is a seismic trip and monitoring system that perfectly attends the increasing safety requirements in sensitive industries such as nuclear power plants (NPP), nuclear storage facilities, liquefied natural gas (LNG), refineries and more. The system consistently measures and analyzes tremors that occur at different points of an installation and quickly recognizes dangerous vibration patterns. With its distributed intelligence, it guarantees reliable alarms for automatic shutdown information (trip) impacted by earthquakes in structures. The SYSCOM MARMOT system complies with all relevant standards (eg IEC 61508, IEC 60780 and IEC 60880) applicable in these sectors, fully tested and certified by the TÜV-Rheinland organization. The MARMOT system is based on a highly reliable distributed redundant recording system coupled with solid state sensors. It is also based on SYSCOM's experience of over 25 years developing and producing strong motion instrumentation, primarily for the nuclear industry. The system was named as the marmot, an animal known to have one of the most effective warning systems in the world.
