Main features and advantages
Redundant power delivery: The TRICONEX 3601T is designed for N+1 redundancy, allowing two units to operate in parallel. If one unit fails, the other automatically takes over without interrupting power to the system. This redundancy eliminates single points of failure, a critical requirement for safety instrumented systems (SIS) and emergency shutdown (ESD) systems.
Wide input range and stability: The TRICONEX 3601T accepts input voltages from 85V AC to 264V AC, making it compatible with global electrical grids. Its regulated 24V DC output ensures that connected components receive consistent power, even during input voltage fluctuations. This stability prevents voltage spikes or drops from damaging sensitive electronics, such as processor modules or I/O cards.
Robust protection mechanisms: The TRICONEX 3601T includes built-in overload, short circuit, and overvoltage protection. These features detect abnormal conditions and shut down the output temporarily, preventing damage to both the power supply and connected equipment. Once the fault is resolved, the module automatically restarts, minimizing downtime.
High efficiency and thermal management: With an efficiency rating of ≥85% at full load, the TRICONEX 3601T generates less heat, reducing the need for additional cooling in control cabinets. Its compact design (165 mm × 100 mm × 220 mm) saves space, making it suitable for installation in crowded industrial enclosures.
Seamless integration: The TRICONEX 3601T is fully compatible with TRICONEX Tricon and Tricon CX systems, connecting via the proprietary backplane to enable real-time status monitoring. This integration allows system operators to track power supply health through the controller’s human-machine interface (HMI), facilitating proactive maintenance.
Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the TRICONEX 3601T, verify that the target TRICONEX system rack has compatible mounting slots and that the input power source matches the module’s voltage range (85-264V AC). Inspect the TRICONEX 3601T for physical damage, such as dents or loose connectors, which could affect performance. Ensure that the input wiring is properly sized (minimum 14 AWG) and terminated with appropriate fuses (10A slow-blow) to protect against overcurrent. Check that the mounting surface is clean and level to ensure proper heat dissipation.
Maintenance suggestions: Regularly monitor the TRICONEX 3601T via the system HMI to check for fault indicators, such as overload or overvoltage alerts. Inspect the module’s ventilation slots monthly to ensure they are free from dust or debris, which can impede cooling. Use compressed air at low pressure to clean these areas if necessary. Measure the output voltage periodically using a multimeter to confirm it remains within the 24V DC ±5% range. When handling the TRICONEX 3601T for replacement or inspection, use anti-static wristbands to prevent electrostatic discharge. For redundant setups, test the failover mechanism quarterly by temporarily disconnecting one unit to ensure the other takes over seamlessly. Refer to the TRICONEX maintenance manual for troubleshooting specific faults; do not attempt to open the module’s casing, as this may void the warranty.

Application fields
The TRICONEX 3601T is widely used in industries where reliable power is critical to safety and operational continuity. In the oil and gas sector, it powers emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, ensuring that valves and sensors remain operational during pipeline overpressure or leak events. The TRICONEX 3601T’s redundancy is particularly valuable here, as even a brief power loss could delay shutdown responses, increasing the risk of environmental damage or personnel harm.
In chemical processing plants, the TRICONEX 3601T supplies power to reactor safety interlocks and fire detection systems. Its ability to handle voltage fluctuations ensures that these systems remain active during unstable grid conditions, a common challenge in remote industrial sites. The module’s protection features also safeguard sensitive analytical instruments, such as gas detectors, from power surges.
Power generation facilities, including nuclear and fossil fuel plants, rely on the TRICONEX 3601T to power turbine control systems and generator protection relays. Its stable output prevents erratic behavior in these systems, which is essential for maintaining grid stability. Additionally, the TRICONEX 3601T is used in pharmaceutical manufacturing to power cleanroom monitoring systems, where uninterrupted operation is required to maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
