Product Name:

TRICONEX 3720 – Analog Input Module

Product Description:

The TRICONEX 3720 module is an analog input module that is part of the Tricon safety system. It provides a critical interface for safely handling analog signals (such as temperature, pressure, flow, and level) and converting them into a format that the Tricon safety system can process. This module ensures that the system receives accurate and reliable analog signals, which are essential for critical safety functions in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, nuclear, and power generation.

9. Mounting:
   • DIN rail or panel mount for flexible installation in industrial environments.
10. Compliance:
    • CE, UL, FM, ATEX (if applicable) for use in safety-critical, hazardous environments.

Product Use:

The TRICONEX 3720 Analog Input Module is primarily used in safety and control systems to monitor and process analog signals from sensors. It is particularly suitable for:

• Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Ensuring critical safety functions, particularly in industries that require compliance with safety standards (such as IEC 61508 and IEC 61511).
• Process Automation: Providing high-fidelity analog data to Tricon controllers to regulate processes.
• Hazardous Locations: Used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, where safety and reliability are paramount.
• Redundant Systems: Often used in systems requiring high availability, where redundancy and fault tolerance are necessary to avoid downtime or safety hazards.
