Product Details: Triconex 3008 Main Processor Module

The Triconex 3008 Main Processor Module is designed for use with Tricon v9.6 and later systems. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliable and safe operation of control processes in high-risk environments, providing the required communication, processing, and control functionality. The 3008 Main Processor Module is an essential component of the Tricon safety and control systems, ensuring continuous operation and system integrity in safety-critical industries.


Key Specifications:

Feature Specification
Microprocessor Motorola MPC860, 32 bit, 50 MHz
Memory 16 MB DRAM (non-battery backed-up), 32 KB SRAM (battery backed-up), 6 MB Flash PROM
Tribus Communication Rate 25 megabits per second, 32-bit CRC protected, 32-bit DMA, fully isolated I/O and Communication Bus
Communication Bus Tribus communication interface with high-speed data transfer
Indicators PASS indicator, indicates module status
Approximate Weight 7.2 lbs. (3.3 kg)

Key Features & Advantages:

  • High-Performance Processing: Powered by the Motorola MPC860 32-bit processor running at 50 MHz, the 3008 offers excellent processing capabilities for executing user-written control programs in real time.

  • Robust Memory Setup:

    • 16 MB DRAM for large-scale data handling (non-battery backed-up).
    • 32 KB SRAM for essential data storage (battery backed-up).
    • 6 MB Flash PROM for non-volatile storage, ensuring safe data retention across power cycles.
  • Reliable Communication:

    • Tribus Communication Rate of 25 megabits per second ensures high-speed communication between modules.
    • 32-bit CRC protection ensures data integrity during transmission.
    • Fully isolated I/O and communication buses reduce the risk of signal interference and enhance system reliability.
  • System Redundancy:

    • In a Tricon system, three MPs (Main Processors) must be installed in the main chassis, allowing the system to be fault-tolerant and ensuring continued operation even if one module fails.
  • Indicators for Troubleshooting:

    • The PASS indicator is used to indicate normal operation and serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for monitoring module health.

Physical Description & Weights:

Component Weight
Main or Expansion Chassis Power Module 54.0 lbs. (24.5 kg)
Main Processor 7.2 lbs. (3.3 kg)
I/O Module 4.7 lbs. (2.1 kg)
Communication Module 4.7 to 6.0 lbs. (2.1 kg to 2.7 kg)
16-point Termination Panel 5.0 lbs. (2.3 kg)
32-point Termination Panel 2.1 lbs. (0.95 kg)

Applications:

The Triconex 3008 Main Processor Module is specifically designed for use in safety-critical applications where reliability and redundancy are paramount. It is ideal for industries such as:

  • Oil & Gas: Monitoring and controlling critical systems in upstream and downstream operations.
  • Chemical & Petrochemical: Ensuring safe and efficient process management in hazardous environments.
  • Power Generation: Maintaining control over nuclear, fossil, and renewable energy systems.
  • Manufacturing: Used in industrial automation systems for real-time process control and monitoring.
