Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SMR seismic monitoring system?

An SMR seismic monitoring system continuously measures ground and structural acceleration at a small modular reactor, detects earthquakes in real time, raises automatic alarms and can initiate a reactor trip through the plant protection system. QuakeLogic's platform combines F330 force-balanced accelerometers, the PX-01 CUBE alarm unit, earthquake early warning and PLC/SCADA integration with remote dashboards and event recording.

How does a seismic reactor trip system work?

A seismic reactor trip system compares measured ground acceleration against configurable thresholds and, when exceeded, closes relay outputs wired to the reactor protection system to initiate a trip. In QuakeLogic's design the PX-01 CUBE provides the threshold logic, automatic relay outputs, audible and visual warnings and event logging, while F330 triaxial sensors supply low-latency PGA measurements from reactor buildings and turbine halls.

Which PLC and SCADA protocols does QuakeLogic seismic monitoring support?

QuakeLogic seismic monitoring integrates with Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, DCS platforms and nuclear SCADA systems using Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, OPC-UA, MQTT and dry contact relay outputs. This lets seismic alarms and PGA values flow directly into existing plant safety and industrial automation environments without custom interfaces.

What are the key features of the F330 FBA seismic sensor?

The F330 force-balanced accelerometer provides triaxial seismic monitoring with high dynamic range, real-time peak ground acceleration measurement, industrial Ethernet connectivity, low-latency triggering and continuous waveform recording. It is designed for reliable operation in critical environments and is deployed across reactor buildings, turbine halls and other infrastructure zones to give full seismic coverage.

Why do AI data centers need seismic monitoring like nuclear plants?

Hyperscale AI data centers are mission-critical facilities whose operators need real-time situational awareness and automated response during earthquakes, just as nuclear plants do. Seismic monitoring with automatic alarms, earthquake early warning and SCADA integration lets them protect equipment, trigger safe shutdowns or failovers and maintain operational continuity, improving infrastructure resilience and facility safety.
