TRICONEX 8312
Product Name
TRICONEX 8312 Module. It can be a power supply module, an analog input module, a digital input module or a counter, etc., depending on the specific application and configuration236.
Product Description
- Power Supply Module: The TRICONEX 8312 power supply module is used to convert AC line power to DC power suitable for all TRICON modules. It has a nominal voltage of 230 VAC and can provide 175 – watt power. Each TRICON chassis is equipped with two power modules, and either one is capable of running the TRICON at full load and rated temperature. It also has a fuse rating of 2.5 amps (time – delay) and an output hold – up time of at least 20 ms. The power modules are located on the left side of the chassis, and the terminal strips for system grounding, incoming power, and hardwired alarms are located on the lower left corner of the backplane25.
- Analog Input Module: The 8312 analog input module usually includes multiple analog input channels. It is designed to handle various types of analog signals, such as voltage (e.g., 0 – 10 V) and current (e.g., 4 – 20 mA). It supports a range of input voltages and currents, providing flexibility for different industrial applications. It provides high – resolution accurate signal measurement, often with a resolution of 12 – bit or 16 – bit. It also incorporates redundancy to ensure high availability and reliability, which is crucial for safety – critical and high – reliability systems. In addition, it has diagnostic capabilities to monitor the status and health of each input channel and provides electrical isolation between input channels and the system to protect against faults and maintain signal integrity6.

- Digital Input Module: The 8312 digital input module is used to monitor and collect digital signals in industrial automation and control systems. It typically has multiple digital input channels, allowing for the simultaneous monitoring of multiple digital signals. It supports multiple digital input types, such as digital switch inputs and digital pulse – counting inputs, to meet the needs of different applications. Some versions of the module may support high – speed sampling to ensure the accurate monitoring of rapidly changing signals. It provides communication interface options such as Ethernet, RS – 232, and RS – 485 for communication and data exchange with other control devices, PLCs, or upper – computers. The module can detect anomalies or faults in input signals and trigger alarms. It can also respond in real – time to changes in input signals to ensure high accuracy and reliability, suitable for applications with strict real – time requirements3.
- Counter: The TRICONEX 8312 counter is a high – quality counting instrument device. It has an input type of pulse input, a measurement range of 0 – 999999.9 times, an accuracy level of 0.5, and a display method of 7 – segment LED digital tube. It can work within the temperature range of – 20 °C – 50 °C and has a power supply voltage of AC 220 V/DC 24 V9.
