Product Introduction

The TRICONEX 3008 is the primary TMR main processor for Tricon safety systems. It runs user application logic, synchronizes I/O across chassis, and manages system‑wide diagnostics for ESD, F&G, and process safety applications.

Built with three independent processing channels, the 3008 uses hardware 2‑out‑of‑3 voting to mask single‑point faults. It delivers SIL3 integrity and high‑speed TriBus communication, ensuring uninterrupted control in high‑risk environments.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is the TRICONEX 3008 hot‑swappable?A: Yes, but only in redundant Tricon systems. Hot‑swapping a single 3008 in a non‑redundant chassis causes total system outage.

Q: What happens if one TMR channel fails?A: The 2oo3 voting logic ignores the faulty channel; the module continues operating with the remaining two channels. It logs a fault alarm for maintenance.

Q: Can I use the 3008 in non‑Tricon systems?A: No. The 3008 uses a proprietary backplane interface and TMR logic specific to Tricon SIS platforms. It is not compatible with other DCS/PLC systems.

Q: What is the battery life for the SRAM backup?A: Typically 5 years. A low‑battery alarm triggers 3 months before depletion. Replace the battery before expiration to avoid logic loss.

Q: What warranty is included?A: 12‑month manufacturer warranty covering material and workmanship defects. Defective units are replaced at no cost if returned within the warranty period.

Q: How many I/O points can the 3008 support?A: Up to 1000 analog and 2000 digital points, depending on system configuration and chassis expansion.

Q: Does the 3008 support SOE (Sequence of Events) logging?A: Yes. It provides 1ms‑resolution SOE timestamps, synchronized via TriBus, for post‑incident analysis.
