The TRICONEX 3401 Digital Output Module is a 16-channel TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) module specifically designed for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), seamlessly integrating into the Trident safety system. It receives data from the main processor through three independent channels and employs a patented Quad Voter circuit to ensure the safety and reliability of output signals, maintaining normal system operation even in the event of a single-channel failure. The module supports hot-swapping for easy replacement during system operation and features comprehensive diagnostic capabilities to monitor channel status in real time, providing a stable and secure digital output solution for industrial automation control.
Technical Specifications (TRICONEX 3401 Digital Output Module)
Output Channels: 16 commoned outputs, supporting a triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture where each channel independently receives and votes on data from the main processor.
Voting Mechanism: Utilizes the patented Quad Voter circuit to achieve "two-out-of-three" voting via parallel-series paths, ensuring the accuracy and safety of output signals.
Diagnostic Functions: Features continuous channel diagnostics capable of detecting stuck switches, drive circuit failures, etc., activating system alarms in the event of faults.
Electrical Connections: Supports a nominal output voltage of 24VDC, is compatible with an operating range of 15-30VDC, and has self-limiting output current functionality.
