Product Name

TRICONEX 3625 – Safety System I/O Module

Product Description

The TRICONEX 3625 is a discrete input/output (I/O) module used in the Triconex Safety System, primarily for critical safety applications where continuous, real-time monitoring of industrial processes is necessary. This module provides a highly reliable interface for safety signals that must meet rigorous standards such as IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. It is part of the modular Triconex architecture, designed for fault-tolerant, high-availability, and redundant operation to ensure system integrity in safety-critical systems.

Product Parameters and Specifications

Here are the general parameters and specifications for the TRICONEX 3625 module, although the exact details may vary slightly depending on the specific model:

• Type of Module: Discrete I/O module (Input and Output)
• Input/Output Type:
  • Digital input and output channels for safety applications
  • Designed to handle various input/output configurations for switches, sensors, relays, etc.
• Input Channels:
  • Typically 16 digital inputs (0 or 1 logic levels)
  • Input voltage range: 10-30 V DC (depending on model configuration)
  • Input current: 5-10 mA (for each input)
  • Isolation: 1500 V (for safety)
• Output Channels:
  • 16 digital outputs (relay or transistor types depending on configuration)
  • Output voltage: 12-30 V DC or 110-220 V AC
  • Output current: 2 A (per channel, depending on model)
  • Fail-safe output for hazardous locations
• Communication Interface:
  • Integrated with the Tricon system’s backplane for communication and control
  • Uses Tricon’s proprietary protocols for I/O communication
• Redundancy:
  • The TRICONEX system operates in a TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) configuration, ensuring that the failure of one module will not impact the overall system functionality.
• Mounting:
  • 19-inch rack-mounted for easy integration with the Triconex system
  • Hot-swappable for continuous operation and maintenance
• Safety Integrity Level (SIL):
  • Suitable for applications that require SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) compliance, which is the highest level of reliability for safety-critical applications.
• Environmental Conditions:
  • Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
  • Storage temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F)
  • Humidity: 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing)

Product Use

The TRICONEX 3625 module is used in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) to monitor and control processes, ensuring safe operation in hazardous conditions. It is designed for industries where human life, equipment, or the environment could be at risk in case of a process failure. It is often deployed in critical applications such as:

• Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems: To automatically shut down equipment or processes in case of unsafe conditions.
• Process control: To maintain safe and stable operation of industrial processes by monitoring and responding to potential failures.
• Fire and Gas detection: Used for the detection of hazardous gases or fire and initiating appropriate safety actions.
• Overpressure protection: Ensuring pressure levels are safely controlled to avoid equipment failure or explosions.
• Safety interlocks: Preventing dangerous operations by locking out certain systems unless predefined safety conditions are met.
