Trident

Trident is the latest addition to the Triconex product line. Based on proven Triconex Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) technology, Trident is designed to fit small applications where, until now, price concerns had kept processes tied to the operating restrictions of dual and simplex architectures. Trident breaks through the budget barrier and provides customers with a powerful, cost-effective solution and an alternative control strategy to maximize both high reliability and high availability applications.

The unique diagnostic approach in the Trident system allows greater fault coverage and localization, achieving the highest system availability and reliability possible. Trident provides you with the assurance of continuous operation and numerous installation possibilities due to its smaller footprint and scalable design. You no longer need to settle for dual redundancy when what you really need is the peace of mind of Triple Modular Redundancy.

With the Trident, the Triconex solution is now cost effective for safety applications such as:

Emergency Shutdown (ESD)
Fire & Gas Systems (F&G)
High Integrity Protection Systems (HIPS)
High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS)
Turbomachinery Control (TMC)
Burner Management Systems (BMS)
Critical Batch Control
Critical Process Control Loops

Key Benefits

Cost Effective – The Trident significantly reduces the cost of small system configurations
High Performance – User program execution as fast as 10 milliseconds
Added Reliability – Forced-to-Value Diagnostics (FVD) independently test each input point to verify proper operation of the input circuitry
Unsurpassed Availability – Designed and certified to operate in a 3-2-1-0 mode of operation
TÜV certified - Independently certified for Functional Safety up to and including Safety Integrity Level 1 to 3 per IEC 61508 standard
Communication Capabilities – Trident provides the ability to interface with many external devices over open communication protocols such as Modbus Serial, Modbus TCP and OPC
Flexible System Integration – The Trident system is typically mounted on a mounting plate that can be installed in a stand

Key Capabilities

Scalable – The Trident is optimized for small applications with capacities as low as 48 I/O points

Improved Diagnostics – High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) on the I/O modules result in 99.9% diagnostic coverage

Small Footprint – Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and I/O modules that mount directly on field termination back-plates reduce the system footprint by more than 50%

Ruggedized – Improved rugged design includes aluminum housing, gold plated contacts, conformal coating, and is splash proof, allowing operating temperatures from -20° to 70°C
