Safety System
Triconex is the world’s leading supplier of Safety Instrumented Systems for high hazardous industry. In terms of revenue Triconex is the number one safety systems and services in the world (source ARC process safety report).
End Users voted Triconex as #1 as they value the lifecycle benefits / advantages Triconex delivers (Source control global 2019 reader’s choice awards).
The TÜV-certified Triconex SIL3 system delivers the highest levels of safe operation and maximum plant availability throughout the operating life of the plant. Triconex safety systems have a Triple modular redundant (TMR) design that employs three isolated, parallel control systems and extensive diagnostics integrated into one system. The TMR I/O card provides unparalleled triple physical redundancy. The system uses the high availability 2oo3D (two out of three diagnostic architecture) to provide high-integrity, error-free, uninterrupted process operation with no single point of failure. With over 30 years of continuous safe operation, EcoStruxure Triconex Safety Systems have delivered more than one billion safe operating hours.
A key feature of all Triconex systems (classic Tricon, Trident, Tri-GP and Tricon CX) is the inclusion of a hot spare slot for continuous operation. Each I/O slot contains an active I/O slot and a hot spare I/O slot allowing for online replacement of degraded modules. As well as being SAFE by design, the Tricon systems are also SECURE against cyber threats. Triconex was the first system globally to be certified for both safety and security.
Triconex safety systems have the ability to use the same platform for multiple applications requiring less hardware, less design effort, reduced capital and operational cost, delivering faster start-up and future-proofing your investment. One system can be used for Emergency Shutdown, Fire and Gas Detection, High Integrity Pressure Protection, Boiler Protection, Burner Management, Flare and Turbine control and protection.
Tricon CX is the newest SIS controller, leveraging the Triconex pedigree, and the best of Tricon and Trident safety, availability and security. It is 50% smaller and 67% lighter than classic Triconex, thus, footprint is significantly reduced compare to classic Tricon results in less cabinets. Tricon CX is quick and easy to install; only 3 components, Chassis, Modules and Connectors are required to make a system. Faster scan time processing and 5 times increase in peer to peer performance result in significantly higher performance system. The high performance 1GB I/O bus delivers outstanding ‘end to end’ performance –from input to controller to output. New technology such as HART pass-thru which is relevant as new project(s) will apply HART protocol topology. ISASecure EDSA (Embedded Device Secure Access) level 1 certification to protect against cyber‐attacks. Last but not the least, the flexible system architecture of Tricon CX allowing a mix and match solution. Means we can connect classic Triconex system to Tricon CX.
The Triconex systems are TÜV safety and security certified products (IEC61508) and we have TÜV certified procedures and delivery centers (IEC61511).
