OVERVIEW
The FDSI Triconex Integrator driver enables the
integration of Tricon and Trident devices into an
I/A Series system via the TSAA protocol.
TSAA was designed specifically for safety
applications by Triconex, and allows the Foxboro Evo
or I/A Series system direct access to real-time data in
a Triconex Safety System (Tricon and Trident) via an
FDSI FBM.
TSAA supports typical control applications such as
READ/WRITE from an operator interface.
HARDWARE
The FDSI Triconex Integrator driver can be
downloaded to one of the following FBMs,
depending on redundancy requirements:
 The FBM232 provides an Ethernet interface
between the Foxboro Evo or I/A Series system
and the Triconex Safety System. Refer to
FBM232 Field Device System Integrator Module,
10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Single (PSS 21H-2Z32
B4).
 Two FBM233s can be used to implement a
redundant Ethernet interface between the
I/A Series system and the Triconex Safety
System. Refer to FBM233 Field Device System
Integrator Module, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet,
Redundant (PSS 21H-2Z33 B4).
The Triconex Integrator supports the following
Triconex controllers:
 Tricon Controllers, version 9.7.x and later
 Trident Controllers, version 1.2. and later (see
Note for exceptions)
 Tri-GP Controllers, version 2.1.2 and later
NOTE
The following Trident versions are not
supported: Trident 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1.0,
and 2.1.1. The time synchronization
functionality is incompatible with these
Trident versions.
SOFTWARE
The FDSI Triconex Integrator driver is compatible with
all releases of I/A Series software v8.4 or later or
Control Core Services v9.0 or later. It can be installed
on any Foxboro Evo or I/A Series workstation or
server running the Windows 7®, Windows Server®
2008 R2, Windows XP®, or Windows Server® 2003
operating systems
FDSI TRICONEX INTEGRATOR DRIVER
BENEFITS
Using the FDSI Triconex Integrator driver with FDSI
FBMs provides the benefits described in the following
subsections.
Easy Integration
Simply downloading the FDSI Triconex Integrator
driver to a FDSI FBM allows you to exchange data
between the Triconex device and the Foxboro Evo or
I/A Series system, thus taking advantage of both the
power of the Foxboro Evo or I/A Series system and
the triple-redundant protection of the Triconex
system.
Foxboro Evo and I/A Series System Support
Foxboro Evo and I/A Series systems support the
TSAA protocol, which accommodates the transfer of
data to and from Tricon/Trident devices.
Foxboro Evo and I/A Series software also provides
standard plant management functions and operator
displays for these devices, including startup, and
communication fault detection and display using
System Manager.
