TRICONEX 3301 Industrial Control Module

Engineered for mission-critical applications in sectors like oil refining and power generation, the TRICONEX 3301 serves as a triple-redundant safety system module. This hardware forms the backbone of high-integrity process control systems where failure isn’t an option, particularly in environments requiring SIL 3 certification compliance.

Found at the heart of complex installations like offshore drilling platforms and chemical processing plants, this module excels where continuous operation matters most. A refinery in Texas recently relied on its triple-redundant architecture during a 48-hour extreme weather event, maintaining turbine control systems despite two simultaneous channel failures. Our inventory includes complementary TRICONEX components – power modules (3008, 3009), communication interfaces (4351B), and specialized I/O cards like the 3805E digital output module.

What sets this hardware apart isn’t just its 20kHz output frequency, but the underlying triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture. Three independent processors simultaneously execute identical operations, with continuous cross-validation ensuring any single point failure gets isolated without process interruption. The industrial-grade aluminum housing with IP20 protection rating withstands ambient temperatures up to 60°C, while vibration resistance meets MIL-STD-202G specifications. Engineers often appreciate the module’s hot-swappable design, enabling field replacements without system shutdowns.
