The E16x346 system incorporates one Test generator type E1697.32 and three Monitors (A, B and C) type E1667 for evaluation of speed signals and external trip signals.

The logic blocks of the monitors for the evaluation of the external trip signals are named "Voter".

Each of the monitors represents a "channel" (A,B,C) for the processing of the speed signals and the external trip signals.

The logic results of the three channels are connected internally to form three 2oo3 trip circuits I,II and III which are named "Trip-Lines".

The Trip-Lines can be connected for example to a 1oo2 or 2oo3 solenoid valve block.

A released trip status of the Monitors respective of the complete system E16x346 can be

latched, this function is named "Trip-Lock".

Trip is released by shut down of the Trip Circuits (Trip-Lines) to the solenoid valve block if:

2oo3 Monitors detect Overspeed condition

2oo3 sensor signals are detected as faulty by Monitors

2oo3 Monitors detect External Trip-Condition via Voters (1oo2, 2oo2, 2oo3 or 3oo3 selectable)
