Description
Product Overview: TRICONEX 3351S2
The TRICONEX 3351S2 is a high-integrity analog input module engineered for safety-critical industrial automation and process control systems. As a core component of TRICONEX’s Tricon and Trident platforms, it serves as the interface between field devices (e.g., pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, and flow meters) and TRICONEX’s triple modular redundancy (TMR) controllers. Designed to capture and monitor 32 isolated analog signals with exceptional precision, the TRICONEX 3351S2 ensures reliable data acquisition in electrically noisy or hazardous environments, making it essential for industries like oil refining, chemical processing, and power generation .
Built with TRICONEX’s patented TMR architecture, the TRICONEX 3351S2 processes each input signal through three independent channels, eliminating single points of failure. It supports a wide input range of 4–20 mA (with tolerance for 2–22 mA) and features 2500 VDC channel-to-bus isolation, ensuring signal integrity even in high-interference settings. The module’s compact design (4.5 cm height × 18.8 cm width × 21.7 cm depth) and rugged construction allow operation across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C), aligning with the harsh conditions of offshore platforms and nuclear facilities .
A key innovation of the TRICONEX 3351S2 is its continuous self-diagnostic capability, which monitors each input channel for open circuits, short circuits, or voltage anomalies. This real-time health monitoring, combined with hot-swap functionality, minimizes downtime by enabling maintenance without system shutdown. The module is SIL 3 certified (IEC 61508) and ATEX/IECEx compliant for use in explosive atmospheres, ensuring compliance with the most stringent safety standards .

Main Features and Advantages
Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) Architecture
The TRICONEX 3351S2 processes each analog signal through three independent channels, with a 2-out-of-3 voting mechanism to ensure data accuracy. This design eliminates single-point failures and supports continuous operation even if one channel malfunctions, critical for applications where downtime is catastrophic (e.g., offshore drilling) .
High-Precision Signal Conditioning
With 12-bit resolution and ±0.15% full-scale accuracy, the module delivers precise measurements of pressure, temperature, and flow signals. Its 2500 VDC isolation and wide input range (4–20 mA) make it suitable for both legacy and modern industrial sensors .
Advanced Diagnostics
The module’s continuous self-diagnostic system monitors each channel for faults (e.g., open circuits, short circuits) in under 2 ms, providing real-time health status via LED indicators and system logs. This proactive monitoring reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and enhances system availability .
Rugged Reliability
With ATEX/IECEx certification and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, the TRICONEX 3351S2 withstands extreme industrial conditions, including high electromagnetic interference (EMI) and explosive atmospheres. Its compact design and DIN rail compatibility simplify installation in space-constrained environments .
Hot-Swap Capability
Technicians can replace the TRICONEX 3351S2 without powering down the system, minimizing downtime in continuous-process industries like pharmaceuticals and oil refining. This feature is supported by TRICONEX’s field-proven TMR architecture, which ensures seamless module replacement .
