Tricon CX is a flexible SIL3 platform designed for
the protection and mitigation of risks in high-hazard
industries where safe and continuous operation are
imperative. Tricon CX is capable of handling input/
output (I/O) counts of all sizes, from as little as
16 I/O channels in a single system to in excess
of 750,000 I/O channels when deployed across 254
nodes. Systems can be centralized in one location,
as well as distributed across multiple assets. All
modules are fault tolerant and continue to operate
even under fault conditions.
The simple mechanical design of Tricon CX makes
it quick and easy to design, install, operate and
maintain. Only three components are required to
configure a Tricon CX system — the chassis, the
modules, and the connectors.
Modules and connectors are separate, so modules
can be replaced online without disturbing the I/O
modules or wiring.
Chassis are designed for panel mounting or 19”
mounting. No swing frames are required. Front
access only is required — there is no need for rear
access to any of the Tricon CX racks, modules,
or connectors.
I/O modules and connector boards are keyed to
prevent incorrect insertion.
Termination panels are supported and can be used
with Tricon CX for maximum interoperability.
The integrated 24 Vdc power management and
fusing simplifies power distribution, requiring less
wiring, less engineering, less testing, and lower
overall cost.
