PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The TRICONEX 3006 serves as the main processor module, also designated as Processor Module II Enhanced (EMPI I), within Triconex safety instrumented systems (SIS). This CPU module delivers high-reliability processing for critical control applications in industries including chemical processing, oil and gas production, and nuclear power generation. Engineers specify the 3006 for safety functions where fault tolerance and continuous operation remain paramount requirements.

TMR Architecture and Processing Capabilities

We engineer the TRICONEX 3006 with triple-modular redundancy (TMR) architecture, providing three independent processing channels that vote on all control decisions. This design ensures continued operation despite single-channel failures, maintaining SIL-certified safety integrity for emergency shutdown applications. The module executes safety logic programs with deterministic precision, processing input data and generating output commands through redundant communication paths.

• Processor Architecture: Triple-modular redundant (TMR) for fault-tolerant operation.

• Memory Capacity: 2 MB SRAM for program execution and data storage.

• Model Designation: EMPII (Processor Module II Enhanced).

• Safety Standard Compliance: Meets IEC 61558 requirements for functional safety.

• Module Compatibility: Supports various Triconex I/O modules for system expansion.

Physical Specifications and System Integration

The TRICONEX 3006 measures 49.0 cm in height, 45.3 cm in width, and 6.8 cm in depth, occupying designated slots within the Triconex chassis. The unit weighs approximately 2.9 kg and features high-density backplane connectors for secure communication with I/O modules and power supplies. Its robust construction withstands industrial environmental conditions including temperature variations, vibration, and electromagnetic interference typical in process facilities.
