In order to ensure the highest integrity of the system at all times, the TRICON sis system has the following characteristics: There is a triple combined redundant structure, where each of the three identical system branches can independently execute the control program. And equipped with dedicated hardware/software mechanisms, Can 'vote' on inputs and outputs. Can withstand harsh industrial environments. Can be installed on-site and perform module level repair work while the controller is in online use. Replacement of I/O modules does not disrupt field wiring. Can support up to 118 I/O modules (analog and digital) and optional communication modules, which can be connected to Modbus hosts and slaves, or FoxboroHoneywell distributed control system (DCS) Other TRICONs within the Peer to Peer network are connected to external hosts attached to the 802.3 network.
