TRICONEX 3625: High-Reliability Safety Digital Input Module for Tricon Systems
Product Overview
The TRICONEX 3625 is a safety-certified digital input module designed for TRICONEX’s Tricon safety instrumented systems (SIS), a platform renowned for its triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture. As a core component of industrial safety-critical applications, the TRICONEX 3625 processes digital signals from field devices such as sensors, switches, and actuators, ensuring accurate data transmission to the system’s central processing unit (CPU) for real-time decision-making. This module is engineered to maintain system integrity even in harsh industrial environments, where reliability is non-negotiable.
Within the Tricon ecosystem, the TRICONEX 3625 serves as a vital link between field-level equipment and higher-level control systems. Its 16 isolated digital input channels provide electrical isolation to prevent cross-talk and voltage spikes, enhancing signal purity. The module’s compliance with global safety standards like IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ISA 84.00.01 makes it a trusted choice for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, where operational failures could lead to catastrophic consequences. By integrating the TRICONEX 3625, industrial facilities can achieve seamless safety loop management, reducing downtime and improving overall operational resilience.

Main Features and Advantages
Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) Architecture
The TRICONEX 3625 operates within Tricon’s TMR framework, where three identical processing channels run in parallel. This design ensures that a single fault in one channel does not compromise system functionality, as the remaining two channels provide redundant data. By eliminating single points of failure, the module achieves a mean time between failures (MTBF) far exceeding industry averages, making it suitable for SIL 3-rated applications.
Hot-Swappable Design
Maintenance efficiency is a key strength of the TRICONEX 3625. The module can be replaced without powering down the entire Tricon system, minimizing downtime in continuous-process industries. This feature, combined with LED status indicators for real-time channel monitoring, streamlines troubleshooting and reduces maintenance costs.
Isolated Channels and Robust Protection
Each of the 16 input channels is electrically isolated from the backplane and adjacent channels, protecting against ground loops and voltage surges. The module’s IP20-rated enclosure and wide temperature tolerance (0°C to 60°C) ensure reliable performance in dusty, humid, or temperature-variable environments.
Compliance with Global Safety Standards
Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ISA 84.00.01, the TRICONEX 3625 meets the most rigorous safety requirements. Its fail-safe design ensures that in the event of a fault, the module defaults to a safe state, preventing unintended equipment activation.

Ease of Integration
Supported by TRICONEX’s TriStation 1131 software, the TRICONEX 3625 offers intuitive configuration and diagnostics. Engineers can customize input parameters, monitor channel health, and perform firmware updates through a user-friendly interface, accelerating system commissioning.
Installation and Maintenance
Pre-Installation Preparations
Before installing the TRICONEX 3625, verify that the Tricon chassis is powered off and properly grounded. Inspect the module for physical damage, particularly to the backplane connector pins. Ensure the chassis supports the module’s form factor (3-slot or 10-slot) and that the backplane revision is compatible. Field wiring should comply with 24 VDC specifications and use shielded cables to mitigate electromagnetic interference.
Maintenance Suggestions
Regular maintenance involves using TriStation 1131 to monitor channel status and perform self-diagnostic tests. Clean the module and chassis slots annually to remove dust, which can degrade electrical connections. When replacing the TRICONEX 3625, use only genuine TRICONEX parts to maintain safety certifications. Document all maintenance activities to ensure regulatory compliance and traceability.
