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.
