Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR)
The module uses three independent signal paths to generate and validate output signals. This architecture detects and mitigates single-point faults (e.g., circuit failures, data corruption) by voting on data from the three channels, ensuring reliable control actions in critical systems.
-
High Precision and Stability
- 16-bit resolution ensures accurate conversion of digital control signals to analog outputs, enabling precise regulation of field devices (e.g., modulating valves).
- Advanced signal conditioning minimizes drift and noise, maintaining output stability even in electrically noisy environments.
-
Fault Detection and Fail-Safe Mechanisms
- Continuous self-tests monitor for faults such as open circuits, short circuits, or out-of-range outputs.
- Faults trigger diagnostics reported to the control system, allowing rapid troubleshooting.
- Fail-safe outputs can be configured to default to pre-defined states (e.g., 4 mA, 20 mA, or 0 VDC) in the event of a module or system failure, ensuring safety in process control.
-
Flexible Configuration
- Supports multiple output types (current/voltage) and ranges, compatible with a wide array of actuators and indicators.
- Configurable via Triconex software (e.g., Tricon Expert) for scaling, alarm thresholds, and diagnostic sensitivity.
- Channel-to-channel isolation prevents cross-talk, enhancing reliability in multi-channel applications.
-
Industrial-Grade Design
- Hot-swappable: Can be replaced without powering down the system, reducing downtime during maintenance.
- Rugged construction withstands vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
- EMI/RFI immunity ensures robust performance in facilities with high electromagnetic interference.
