TRICONEX 2351 – TMR Safety System Module for Critical Process Protection

The TRICONEX 2351 is part of the Triconex triple modular redundant (TMR) safety platform widely used in ESD, BMS, HIPPS, and turbomachinery protection. From my experience, sites choose this series when they need deterministic behavior, on-line diagnostics, and long lifecycle support. The 2351 slots into a standard Tricon chassis and works within the TMR architecture, so a single fault typically won’t compromise the safety function. You might notice that many legacy systems still run these cards because they’re stable, serviceable, and easy to maintain under a tight MOC process.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Lead time: 1 week when in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
• Pre-shipment: Functional check and visual inspection; photos and packing details can be shared on request

Key Features

• TMR Architecture – Works within Triconex’s triple-redundant design to maintain operation during a single module fault.
• Online Diagnostics – Continuous self-test routines and status LEDs help maintenance teams spot issues early.
• Hot Repair Capability – In many cases, modules can be replaced online in a controlled manner without a full system shutdown.
• Long Lifecycle Support – Stable hardware platform with broad field use; spares strategy is straightforward.
• TriStation Integration – Compatible with TriStation engineering and maintenance workflows (project download, status, diagnostics via system controllers).
• Proven in Hazardous Services – Typically deployed in ESD/BMS/HIPPS where IEC 61508 SIL3 architectures are required at the system level.
• Backplane Powered – Pulls operating power from the Tricon backplane; no separate external supply to the card itself.

Technical Specifications

Note: Exact capabilities can vary by hardware revision and system bill of materials. If you share the revision level and intended slot, we’ll confirm the specific function and the compatible FTA part.

Application Fields

• Oil & Gas – ESD, fire & gas interface, compressor and turbine protection
• Refining & Petrochemicals – BMS, interlocks, unit trips, SIS voting logic
• Power Generation – Boiler protection, steam turbine emergency trip systems
• Chemicals & Pharma – Reactor shutdown, high-integrity dosing and isolation
• Pulp & Paper / Metals – Safety interlocks and machinery emergency functions

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – TMR voting and extensive diagnostics reduce spurious trips and nuisance alarms in most cases.
• Compatibility – Designed to fit Tricon chassis and work with established TriStation projects; minimizes re-engineering.
• Lifecycle Cost – Stable hardware lowers migration pressure; spare pooling is easier across multiple units.
• Technical Support – We can assist with revision checks, FTA matching, and basic commissioning advice.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & Environment – Install in a clean, dry control cabinet with adequate ventilation; maintain ambient 0–60 °C and avoid vibration where possible.
• Wiring Practices – Route field wiring to the correct FTA, segregate power and signal lines, and observe grounding/shielding per site standard.
• Handling – Use ESD protection when inserting/removing; confirm slot assignment before seating the card.
• Maintenance – Periodic cleaning of dust filters, check terminal torque at FTAs, review diagnostics in TriStation, and keep firmware aligned with the running majority.
• Change Control – Any hardware swap should follow plant MOC with a backup of the current configuration and a proof test plan.

Quality & Certifications

• Triconex systems are certified to IEC 61508 up to SIL3 (system-level; module inherits safety performance within the TMR architecture)
• CE marking and industrial EMC compliance are typical for Triconex modules
• UL/CSA industrial control equipment compliance may apply depending on revision
• Warranty: 12 months from delivery

One thing I appreciate is how predictable these modules are in the field. A maintenance lead at a Gulf LNG site told us their 2351-series spares “just slot in and vote up cleanly,” which seems to be exactly what you want during a night shift call-out. If you can share your system part list, we’ll verify compatibility and ship a tested unit on your schedule.
