Product Description
Product Details: Triconex 3008N Main Processor Module
The Triconex 3008N Main Processor Module is designed for use in the Tricon V10 system. This module is integral to the functioning of a Tricon V10 PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system, where it helps control the three separate signal processing legs, ensuring robust performance and high reliability in safety-critical environments. The 3008N module is a part of the system's redundant architecture, and each module operates independently with its own resources, providing the fault tolerance needed for mission-critical applications.
Key Specifications:
Feature | Specification |
---|---|
Processor | Two 32-bit processors: |
- I/O and Communication Processor (IOCCOM): Handles communication with system I/O modules | |
- Primary Processor: Manages the execution of safety control programs and diagnostics | |
Memory | - Dual port RAM for direct data exchanges between processors |
- Flash memory for the operating system (ETSX 6271), run-time library, and fault analysis | |
Bus Structures | Four triplicated bus structures: |
- Tribus, communication bus, I/O bus, and internal bus within each main processor module | |
TriBUS Communication | High-speed, proprietary, bi-directional serial channel for data voting and diagnostic exchange |
Clock Circuit | Independent clock circuits for each processor to enable coordinated operations |
Fault Tolerance | High fault tolerance with voting and data exchange mechanisms between processors |
Hardware Changes (Comparison with Tricon V9.5.3 System):
