TRICONEX 2101 complete range of modules

TRICONEX 2101 complete range of modules

The Trident supports a range of modules for applications with low point counts and distributed I/O. This section provides detailed specifications for each product in the Trident family. Also included are:

• International approvals 

• Environmental specifications 

• Dimensions and clearances 

Main Processor Modules and Baseplates

Every Trident system is controlled by three Main Processor (MP) Modules that reside on a single baseplate. Each MP Module acts as one channel of the triplicated Trident system.

Communication Module and Baseplate

The Communication Module (CM) is a three-to-one interface to the MPs that enables use of industry-standard communication protocols. A single Trident controller can support up to two CMs on one CM Baseplate with each CM operating independently. Two CMs can provide redundant communication connections or independent communication ports. 

Analog Input Module and Baseplates

Each Analog Input (AI) Module has three isolated channels which independently process analog inputs from field devices. Each channel transmits the data to the MP associated with the channel. The MPs vote the data before passing it to the application.

Analog Input/Digital Input Module and Baseplates

Each Analog Input/Digital Input (AI/DI) Module has three isolated channels which independently process analog and digital inputs from field devices. Each channel transmits the data to the MP associated with the channel. The MPs vote the data before passing it to the application.

Analog Output Modules and Baseplates

Each Analog Output (AO) Module has three isolated channels which independently accept data from the MPs. Voter circuitry selects a single channel to drive the output and shunts output from the other channels. For details, see page 33. In addition to the standard AO baseplate, a HART AO baseplate and a hazardous location HART AO baseplate are available.

Digital Input Module and Baseplates

Each Digital Input (DI) Module has three isolated channels which independently process digital input from field devices. Each channel transmits the data to the MP associated with the channel.

Solid-State Relay Output Module and Baseplate

Each Solid-State Relay Output (SRO) Module has three isolated channels which independently accept data from the MP associated with each channel. The channels provide input to a voter circuit which uses the voted value to drive the coil of the relay.

I/O Extender Modules

I/O Extender Module Kits are used to carry I/O messages from one I/O column to another and to provide logic power terminals for each I/O column.

Interconnect Assemblies

Trident baseplates within a single I/O column are connected by Interconnect Assemblies that carry I/O messages and logic power across the baseplates. For details,

Required Accessories

Accessories such as end caps, terminal covers, and slot covers are required to protect Trident components from dust, liquids, and corrosive atmospheres.
