Product Overview
The TRICONEX 4409 is a high-performance communication interface module engineered for TRICONEX’s Tricon safety instrumented system (SIS), a critical platform for industrial safety and control. It serves as a vital link between the Tricon controller and external systems, enabling seamless data exchange across industrial networks. This module supports multiple communication protocols, making it essential for integrating diverse equipment—such as motor drives, sensors, and third-party PLCs—into a unified automation system.
The TRICONEX 4409 is designed to handle real-time data transmission with low latency, ensuring timely updates for time-sensitive processes. It features dual communication ports, supporting protocols like Modbus RTU, Profibus DP, and Ethernet/IP, which allows it to connect to both legacy and modern industrial networks. This versatility eliminates the need for protocol converters, simplifying system design and reducing integration costs.
As part of TRICONEX’s industrial ecosystem, the TRICONEX 4409 integrates seamlessly with components such as the TRICONEX 3503E (CPU module), TRICONEX 3625 (power supply module), and TRICONEX 3721 (digital output module). It operates in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, resists dust, vibrations, and electrical noise, and features 250V AC galvanic isolation—ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments like power plants, chemical refineries, and steel mills.
The module’s compact design (120mm × 85mm × 65mm) fits into standard TRICONEX racks, while LED indicators for power, network activity, and faults simplify troubleshooting. Whether used in small-scale process control or large industrial complexes, the TRICONEX 4409 ensures efficient and secure data transfer, enhancing overall system visibility and control.

Main features and advantages
Multi-protocol support: The 4409 works with Modbus RTU, Profibus DP, and Ethernet/IP, allowing it to connect to diverse industrial devices—from legacy motor drives to modern HMIs. This eliminates the need for multiple communication modules, simplifying system architecture in mixed-equipment environments like chemical plants.
High-speed data transfer: With Ethernet speeds up to 100 Mbps and RS-485 up to 12 Mbps, the 4409 ensures real-time transmission of critical data, such as pressure alarms or production counts. This speed is vital for time-sensitive applications, like adjusting a turbine’s output based on instant grid demand.
Industrial-grade isolation: 250V AC galvanic isolation protects the module from electrical noise and ground loops, common in factories with heavy machinery. This isolation ensures signal integrity in noisy settings, such as steel mills, where electromagnetic interference could distort data.
Rugged design: The 4409 operates in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C and resists dust, vibrations, and humidity. It performs reliably in harsh locations—from freezing oil rigs to humid pulp mills—reducing unplanned downtime.
Easy integration: The module fits directly into TRICONEX’s Tricon racks, connecting to the backplane for power and data. It configures quickly via TRICONEX’s TriStation 1131 software, with pre-built drivers for common devices, cutting setup time by up to 40%.
Dual-port flexibility: Two ports allow the 4409 to connect to separate networks—for example, a Profibus network of sensors and an Ethernet network of HMIs—without needing a switch. This redundancy enhances system reliability in mission-critical processes.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the Tricon rack before installing the 4409. Check that the rack has an open slot and that the power supply provides 24V DC. Inspect the module for physical damage, ensuring connectors are clean. Use an anti-static wristband to handle the module to avoid static damage.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the 4409 monthly. Check for loose network cables and wipe dust from the surface with a dry cloth. Monitor LED indicators—steady power and network lights mean normal operation; flashing fault lights may signal a protocol mismatch. Test communication annually using TRICONEX’s diagnostic tools to verify data transfer accuracy. Replace the 4409 if faults persist after troubleshooting, following proper shutdown steps to avoid damaging other rack components.
Application fields
The TRICONEX 4409 is widely used in process industries requiring seamless network integration:
In power generation, it connects turbine control systems to the DCS. The 4409 transmits real-time data—like steam pressure and rotor speed—from sensors to the 3503E CPU. Operators use this data to adjust turbine output, ensuring stable power supply.
In chemical processing, the module links batch reactors to SCADA systems. It sends data on valve positions and receives commands to adjust heating elements, ensuring precise temperature control during reactions.
In pulp and paper manufacturing, the 4409 connects a Profibus network of conveyor sensors to an Ethernet-based HMI. It relays data on paper roll positions, allowing operators to synchronize cutting machines and reduce waste.
In water treatment, it integrates pump controllers and pH sensors into the DCS. The module transmits pump status data to the CPU, which uses it to activate backup pumps via 3721 modules, ensuring uninterrupted water flow.
