TRICONEX 3009X high-end redundant controller module

Description

The TRICONEX 3009X is an enhanced main processor module, part of Schneider Electric’s Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS), designed for high-reliability industrial automation and safety applications. It is built on a triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture, which ensures fault tolerance by running three independent processor modules simultaneously. Each processor independently handles control, diagnostics, and communication tasks, while the system performs voting to determine correct outputs, ensuring robust operation even if one or two modules fail.

Key specifications and features include:

• Processor: Dual-core Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3, 2.6 GHz frequency, delivering powerful computation.
• Memory: 32 GB DDR4 RAM and 240 GB SSD storage, allowing large control programs and rapid data access.
• Communication interfaces: 2 Ethernet ports, 2 RS-232 ports, 1 USB port.
• Supports multiple industrial communications protocols, including Modbus TCP/IP and OPC UA.
• Fault-tolerant TMR operation with automatic failover and re-synchronization.
• High I/O capacity supporting up to 118 input/output modules, capable of handling complex automation tasks.
• Compatible with Triconcom and unified communication modules (TCM and UCM models).
• Dimensions around 45 x 20 x 15 cm; weight approximately 1.4-3 kg.
• Widely used in sectors like oil refining, chemical plants, and power generation where uninterrupted safety operation is critical.
• Supports online upgrades and remote diagnostics, minimizing downtime during maintenance.

The 3009X module extends the legacy of TRICONEX processors with improved performance, integration capabilities, and modern communication interfaces, maintaining the high safety integrity levels Triconex is known for.
