TRICONEX 3005
Product Name:
TRICONEX 3005 Main Processor Module
Product Description:
The TRICONEX 3005 is a high-performance main processor module designed for TRICONEX Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) systems, widely used in safety-critical industrial automation applications such as oil & gas, power generation, and chemical processing. It incorporates three independent 32-bit microprocessors operating in parallel to provide fault tolerance and continuous operation even if one processor fails. The module supports complex control algorithms, real-time diagnostics, and complies with safety standards including IEC 61508 SIL 3, IEC 61511, API 615, CE, and UL. It ensures deterministic control cycles and advanced diagnostics for predictive maintenance and high availability.
