Can a GDS System Use Digital Communication Signals? A Technical Review Based on Current Standards

In gas detection and safety-instrumented applications, the choice of signal transmission method is not just a design preference—it directly affects the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and the overall reliability of the safety protection layer. As fieldbus technologies become more common in process plants, a frequently debated question has emerged: Can a Gas Detection System (GDS)

Can a Gas Detection System (GDS) Use a Bus Communication Structure?

According to GB 50493 (Design Standard for Combustible and Toxic Gas Detection and Alarm Systems) and general industrial safety design practices, GDS detection units must use independent point-to-point wiring when transmitting signals to the alarm controller.Bus (multi-drop shared line) communication is not permitted for safety-critical gas detection functions. The core purpose of a GDS is

Understanding Absolute Pressure Transmitters: Are They More Advanced Than Gauge Types?

In industrial measurement and control, pressure transmitters are everywhere. But in vacuum systems, environmental monitoring, and high-precision applications, you may notice that engineers prefer absolute pressure transmitters instead of the more common gauge pressure transmitters. At first glance, they look similar, but the reference point and measurement logic behind them are fundamentally different: Gauge pressure
