Main features and advantages
Safety-critical performance: The TRICONEX 3623T is built on TRICONEX’s proven TMR technology, which employs three independent processing paths to detect and compensate for faults. This architecture ensures that the module can tolerate single faults without affecting system operation, and even double faults without causing a dangerous failure, aligning with the highest safety integrity levels required in industrial settings.
High channel density: With 32 digital input channels in a compact form factor, the TRICONEX 3623T maximizes the use of space within the Tricon chassis. This high channel count reduces the need for additional modules, lowering overall system costs and simplifying installation. Each channel is isolated to prevent cross-talk and interference, ensuring the accuracy of input signals even in noisy industrial environments.
Advanced diagnostics: The TRICONEX 3623T includes comprehensive self-diagnostic capabilities that continuously monitor module health, channel status, and communication with the Tricon controller. Faults such as open circuits, short circuits, or power anomalies are detected in real time, with diagnostic data transmitted to the controller for alerting and troubleshooting. This proactive approach to fault detection minimizes unplanned downtime and supports predictive maintenance strategies.
Wide operational range: Designed to operate in harsh industrial conditions, the TRICONEX 3623T functions reliably across a broad temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) and high humidity levels (5% to 95% non-condensing). Its rugged construction resists vibration and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for deployment in challenging environments such as offshore platforms, chemical plants, and power generation facilities.
Seamless integration: The TRICONEX 3623T is fully compatible with all generations of the Tricon safety controller, ensuring easy integration into existing systems. It communicates via the Tricon backplane, which provides high-speed data transfer with minimal latency, ensuring that input signals are processed in a timely manner. This compatibility simplifies upgrades and expansions, allowing users to enhance their safety systems without extensive reconfiguration.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the TRICONEX 3623T, ensure that the Tricon chassis is powered off and that all safety protocols, including lockout-tagout procedures, are followed. Verify that the chassis slot is compatible with digital input modules and that the backplane connectors are clean and free from debris. Check the module for any physical damage, such as bent pins or cracks, which could affect performance. Ensure that the power supply to the chassis is stable and meets the 24 V DC requirement specified for the TRICONEX 3623T.
Maintenance suggestions: Regular maintenance of the TRICONEX 3623T should include periodic checks of the module’s diagnostic data via the Tricon controller interface to identify potential issues early. Inspect the module’s connections to the backplane and input wiring quarterly to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Avoid exposing the TRICONEX 3623T to static electricity during handling; use grounded wrist straps and anti-static mats when removing or reinstalling the module. If a fault is detected, replace the module with a certified spare to maintain system safety integrity. Store spare TRICONEX 3623T modules in their original packaging in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent damage.
