Description

TRICONEX 3008 Product Specification

Product Overview

The TRICONEX 3008 is a high-performance main processor module designed for TRICONEX’s Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) safety instrumented systems (SIS). It serves as the core of the TMR architecture, responsible for executing safety logic, processing input data from field devices, and generating output commands to maintain critical industrial processes within safe operating limits. This module is central to ensuring system reliability in safety-critical environments, where even a brief failure could lead to catastrophic consequences.

 

As part of TRICONEX’s Trident platform, the TRICONEX 3008 integrates three independent processing channels that operate in parallel. This TMR design ensures that if one channel fails, the other two continue to function, providing seamless fault tolerance and preventing downtime. The TRICONEX 3008 works seamlessly with complementary components such as the TRICONEX 3700A power supply module, TRICONEX 3721 digital input modules, and TRICONEX 8111 communication modules, forming a complete safety control system.

 

Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the TRICONEX 3008 operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C and handles humidity levels between 5% and 95% (non-condensing). Its compact design (259 mm × 160 mm × 79 mm) and rugged construction allow for easy installation in standard control cabinets, making it suitable for industries such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and nuclear power facilities. The TRICONEX 3008 ensures that safety functions—including emergency shutdowns and process interlocks—are executed with precision, protecting both personnel and equipment.

Main Features and Advantages

Triple modular redundancy: The TRICONEX 3008 uses three independent processors that run the same safety logic simultaneously. Each processor compares results in real time. If one fails, the other two continue operating without interruption. This design eliminates single points of failure, critical for applications like nuclear reactor control, where a single fault could lead to disaster.

 

SIL 3 compliance: Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3, the TRICONEX 3008 meets the highest safety standards. It minimizes the risk of dangerous failures, ensuring that safety functions—such as emergency shutdowns—are executed correctly when needed. This compliance is essential for industries regulated by strict safety guidelines, including oil and gas.

 

High processing speed: The TRICONEX 3008 processes data at high speeds, ensuring real-time responsiveness to input signals. This allows it to quickly detect abnormal conditions (e.g., sudden pressure spikes) and trigger protective actions, preventing incidents in fast-moving processes like chemical batch reactions.

 

Easy integration: Designed for TRICONEX Trident systems, the TRICONEX 3008 fits seamlessly into standard TMR racks. It connects to other modules via the backplane, requiring no extra wiring for data transfer. This simplifies installation and reduces the chance of setup errors, which is crucial for minimizing downtime during system deployment.

 

Rugged durability: The TRICONEX 3008 operates reliably in extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C) and high humidity. Its casing resists dust, vibration, and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for harsh environments such as offshore oil platforms and desert refineries.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the TRICONEX 3008, power off the TMR rack and verify the input voltage (24 VDC) matches the power supply (e.g., TRICONEX 3700A). Clean the rack slot to remove dust or debris. Align the module with the rack guides and slide it in until it locks into place. Tighten the front panel screws to secure it, ensuring a stable connection to the backplane.

 

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the TRICONEX 3008 monthly. Check for loose screws, signs of overheating (e.g., discolored plastic), or corrosion. Wipe the module’s surface with a dry cloth to remove dust. Test redundancy quarterly using system software to simulate a fault in one processor channel. Confirm that the remaining channels continue processing without errors. If the module’s fault LED stays lit, replace it promptly to maintain system safety.

Application Fields

In oil and gas: The TRICONEX 3008 serves as the core of emergency shutdown (ESD) systems on offshore platforms. It processes data from pipeline pressure sensors (connected via TRICONEX 3721 modules). If pressure exceeds safe limits, it sends commands to close valves (via TRICONEX 2401S2 modules), preventing leaks. Its redundancy ensures this happens even during storms or power fluctuations.

 

In chemical processing: The module controls batch reactor safety systems. It monitors temperature and pressure inputs. If values exceed thresholds, it triggers isolation valves to contain reactions. Its high processing speed ensures rapid response, critical for avoiding chemical spills in time-sensitive processes.

 

In nuclear power: The TRICONEX 3008 manages reactor safety functions. It processes data from coolant level and radiation sensors. If anomalies are detected, it activates emergency cooling systems. Its SIL 3 certification and TMR design meet strict nuclear safety requirements, ensuring reliable operation in high-risk environments.

 

In water treatment: The module regulates pump and valve operations in wastewater facilities. It processes input from level sensors to adjust flow rates, preventing overflows. Its rugged design withstands the humid, corrosive environment of treatment plants, ensuring continuous operation.
