TRICONEX+3708EN

Description

Product Name:

TRICONEX 3708EN (part of the TRICONEX I/O modules series)

Product Description:

The TRICONEX 3708EN is an 8-channel analog input module designed for use in critical safety systems, specifically those requiring high reliability and fault tolerance. It is intended to work with TRICONEX safety systems, which are used for process control and safety in hazardous environments. The module connects to the Triconex safety system controller and enables the system to monitor various process parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow, in real time.

Product Features:

• 8 Analog Input Channels: The module can handle up to 8 independent analog inputs.
• Signal Conversion: Converts analog signals (e.g., 4-20 mA or 0-10V) to digital data that the safety system can process.
• Redundant Communication: Uses redundant communication paths to increase system reliability.
• High Accuracy: Offers high-precision measurement with high resolution for critical process control.
• Fault-Tolerant: Designed with fault-tolerant features to ensure the safety and integrity of the control system.
• Real-time Monitoring: Provides real-time data to safety controllers for continuous monitoring and automated decision-making.
• Safety Integrity Level (SIL): Designed to meet SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3), ensuring the highest level of safety performance in critical applications.

Product Parameters / Specifications:

• Input Type: Supports both voltage and current inputs, typically 0-10V and 4-20 mA.
• Input Channels: 8 channels, with each channel capable of independently reading signals.
• Input Range:
  • Voltage: 0-10 VDC or other voltage ranges depending on configuration.
  • Current: 4-20 mA or other current ranges.
• Signal Resolution: Typically 16-bit or higher resolution, allowing for fine measurement.
• Isolation: Provides electrical isolation between input channels and the controller for better noise immunity and protection.
• Power Supply: Typically powered by the backplane of the Triconex system, with redundancy options.
• Environmental Conditions:
  • Operating Temperature: Typically between -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
  • Storage Temperature: Typically between -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
  • Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing.
• Compliance: Meets international safety standards like IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 for functional safety.
• Mounting: DIN rail mounting for easy installation and integration into control panels.

Product Use:

• Process Safety Systems: Used in applications where high integrity and safety are critical, such as in chemical plants, oil & gas rigs, or power plants.
• Continuous Process Monitoring: Used to continuously monitor critical parameters like pressure, temperature, flow, and level. The module sends this data to the Triconex controller, enabling it to make decisions and initiate protective actions.
• Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Ensures that the system can take safety actions (like shutting down a process) in the event of abnormal conditions or faults to prevent accidents or environmental damage.
• Integration with Triconex Systems: The module is a component of a larger safety system, and its functionality is integrated with other safety modules, sensors, and controllers to maintain a safe operational environment.

Applications:

• Safety Shutdown Systems (ESD): For automated emergency shutdown of systems when unsafe conditions are detected.
• Fire and Gas Detection Systems: To ensure early detection of fire or hazardous gas concentrations, activating alarms or safety responses.
• Critical Process Control: Monitoring and controlling critical parameters in industries where safety cannot be compromised.
