Press Release
October 15, 2014
RTP announces the introduction of the 3000 TAS (Technologically Advanced System),
TÜV approved safety system. The 3000 TAS is approved for SIL-1 to SIL-3 applications
and is certified to IEC61508-2010 achieving a new level of availability and integrity. It
can be used as a stand-alone safety controller, as a distributed control system for critical
applications, or both functions can be combined in a 3000 TAS controller.
The RTP3000 TAS is the newest member of the RTP
family of systems and uses the same advanced tech-
niques as its predecessors, the 2500 and 3000. Based
on the AtomTM processor it offers higher performance
then its predecessors. It also adds a greater level of di-
agnostics to be able to perform proper diagnostics in a
severely noisy environment. This ensures that the
process is protected and-equally important-the
99.9999% (6 NINES) availability insures that expen-
sive downtime is eliminated.
In 1995 RTP introduced the RTP2000 and NetArrays
the first component of NetSuite. The decision was
made to establish a new precedent and to offer NetSuite
for a one time registration fee and from that point on
customers would receive free access to any future ap-
plications that were included in NetSuite. It was also decided to provide unlimited sup-
port for 10 years. Now with the introduction of the RTP3000 TAS, RTP has once again
set a new precedent by deciding to extend the warranty period from 3 years to 10 years
thus eliminating the need for an annual maintenance contract.
“I believe that customers should pay for the product only once and that should be at the
time of initial purchase. For example, customers that signed up for an annual mainte-
nance contract (AMC) for their software typically paid for the product at least 4 times in
the first ten year period. The same is true for the hardware part of the system. I believe
this will be the end of the AMC as it exists now.” says RTP president Sal Provanzano.
