TRICONEX 8310 High-Density Power Module

Functional Features

  1. Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR)
    • Three independent sub-circuits with hardware/software voting ensure uninterrupted power during faults .
    • Automatic switch to backup power if primary fails, critical for SIL 3 applications .
  2. Hot-Swap & Modular Design
    • Modules replaceable online without system shutdown .
    • DIN-rail or panel mounting for flexible integration .
  3. Diagnostics & Safety
    • LED indicators for real-time fault detection (e.g., blown fuse, overload) .
    • Conformal PCB coating resists dust, moisture, and chemical corrosion .
  4. Wide Compatibility
    • Supports Triconex Main Chassis (8110), Expansion Chassis (8111/8121), and RXM Chassis (8112) .
    • Interfaces with I/O modules up to 12 km away via fiber-optic extenders .
