TRICONEX 3381 Industrial Control Module

The TRICONEX 3381 is a rugged industrial control module engineered for mission-critical applications where system failures aren’t an option. Commonly deployed in oil refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities, this module ensures continuous operation even under extreme environmental conditions.

Engineers in high-risk environments frequently specify this module for safety instrumented systems (SIS). Its triple-redundant architecture makes it particularly effective in applications like emergency shutdown systems and turbine control. Our inventory includes compatible models such as the 3008, 3703X, and 4351B modules, allowing seamless integration into existing TRICONEX ecosystems. For instance, a recent offshore platform retrofit successfully combined 3381 modules with 3720 I/O cards to upgrade their fire and gas detection system.

What sets this module apart is its fault-tolerant design – it continues functioning even during component failures. The built-in diagnostics constantly monitor circuit health, providing early warnings through its HART communication interface. A technician from a Midwest refinery shared that during a sudden power surge incident, the 3381 maintained control while other non-redundant systems failed. Its conformal-coated PCBs resist corrosion in humid environments, and the module’s 0.1ms response time ensures rapid intervention during process upsets.
