Product Description
Triconex 9000 Backplane
Product Overview
- The Triconex 9000 is a Backplane designed for the Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS), part of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Tricon platform. It serves as the foundational component for connecting modules within a Tricon chassis, enabling communication and power distribution for Main Processors, I/O modules, and communication modules. Built for safety-critical applications in industries like oil and gas, chemical, and power generation, the 9000 supports the Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture to ensure high reliability and fault tolerance, meeting Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) requirements.

Additional Details
- The 9000 includes the following additional information based on its standard use and documentation:
- Function: Provides the electrical and communication backbone for Tricon chassis, connecting modules like Main Processors (e.g., MP3008), I/O modules (e.g., 3503E, 3700A), and communication modules (e.g., 4119A). Supports TMR architecture for fault-tolerant operation in safety-critical applications such as emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas detection, and burner management systems (BMS).
- Mounting: Integrated into Tricon chassis (e.g., 8110 high-density or 8400 low-density); designed for 19-inch rack mounting with secure connections for module installation.
- Compatibility: Compatible with Tricon v9.6 and later systems; supports a range of Tricon modules and integrates with TriStation 1131 software for configuration, programming, and diagnostics.
- Configuration: Mechanically keyed to ensure correct module placement; supports hot-swappable modules for maintenance without system downtime.
- Certifications: Meets IEC 61508 SIL3, UL, CE, and Factory Mutual (FM) standards for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations; complies with IEC 61131 environmental and EMC requirements.
