Triconex CM3201 Critical Processing Module

Module Overview

The Triconex CM3201 is a critical processing module designed for Triconex safety instrumented systems (SIS), providing high-integrity control capabilities for mission-critical industrial processes. It employs triple-modular redundancy (TMR) architecture to ensure fault tolerance and reliability.

Technical Specifications

• Processing Power: 32-bit RISC processor with TMR implementation
• Memory: 256 MB RAM, 1 GB non-volatile flash memory
• Operating Voltage: 5V DC ±5%
• Power Consumption: Typical 12W, Maximum 15W
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
• MTBF: >1,000,000 hours
• Communication: Backplane interface for Triconex system bus

Functional Capabilities

Executes safety logic, processes input signals, and generates output commands with triple-modular redundancy. Performs continuous self-diagnostics and cross-checking between redundant channels to detect and compensate for faults without process interruption.

Application Areas

Ideal for safety-critical applications including emergency shutdown systems (ESD), fire and gas systems (FGS), burner management systems (BMS), and turbine control in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and chemical processing.
