TRICONEX 3101
Product Description:
The Triconex 3101 is a Main Processor (MP) module designed for use in EcoStruxure Triconex Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). As the central processing unit of the Triconex system, it is a critical component responsible for executing control logic, managing communications, and performing system diagnostics. The 3101 operates within a Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture, requiring three such modules for fault-tolerant operation, ensuring continuous and safe control of critical industrial processes.
Key Features:
- Main Processor (MP) Module: The core processing unit for Triconex SIS.
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Requires three modules for inherent fault tolerance.
- High-Performance Processing: Equipped with a Motorola MPC860, 32-bit, 50 MHz processor.
- Memory: Features 16 MB DRAM (for IOX execution), 128 KB Shared Memory (for communication with SX), and 6 MB Flash PROM (for storage).
- TriBus Communication: High-speed (25 Mbps), fault-tolerant communication bus between MPs.
- Diagnostic Bus: 2 Mbps HDLC for communication of I/O module diagnostic information between MP channels.
- Communication Interfaces:
- One TriStation 10BaseT Ethernet port (via baseplate).
- One Modbus RS-232/485 serial port (via baseplate).
- One Debug Port (RJ-12 connector on baseplate).
- Redundant Alarm Contacts: Normally closed.
- Clock Calendar: High accuracy with battery backup.
