The 3700A system aims to detect and mitigate potential hazards that may cause harm to personnel, equipment, and the environment. It consists of a controller, input/output modules, and a communication network, where the controller executes secure application software and monitors the input/output modules for any abnormal conditions. The input/output module interfaces with field devices such as sensors and actuators to provide necessary safety functions.

3700A has high configurability and can be customized according to specific process requirements. The system supports a wide range of safety functions, including emergency shutdown, fire and gas detection, burner management, and high integrity pressure protection. This means that 3700A can be used in many different types of industrial applications, providing reliable and robust safety performance.

3700A can perform online diagnostics, which helps improve system availability and reduce maintenance costs. In industrial processes, downtime can be costly and affect productivity, making this characteristic particularly important.

3700A provides intelligent and secure container applications. It can communicate with Modbus TCP controllers (such as Schneider Electric, Wago, Beckhoff, or Phoenix Contact) and collect energy data or other process variables from simple Modbus compatible sensors. Through OPC UA or MQTT, data can be integrated into higher-level management systems such as ERP, MES, or used for process visualization or machine data collection.
