TRICON 3623T  Tricon Version 9–10 System

The Triconex product family includes a comprehensive range of modules. This section includes: a summary of the system components and their uses, a
table that lists standard products and their model numbers, and a summary of specifications for each standard product in the Tricon family
See the Tricon Planning and Installation Guide for complete information. Summary of Tricon Components Chassis
• Main Chassis—houses Main Processors, memory back-up batteries, communication modules and I/O modules.
• Expansion Chassis—for additional I/O modules up to 100 feet (30 meters) away from the Main Chassis. In restricted applications,
operation up to 1,000 feet (300 meters) is supported.
• RXM Chassis—for I/O modules up to 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) away from the Main Chassis.
• Mechanical Keying—Each slot in the Tricon is mechanically keyed to correspond with a specific type of module. This prevents the
installation of modules into improper slots.

Communication Modules
• Tricon Communication Modules (TCM) support a number of Triconex protocols and applications and user-written applications on
Ethernet (802.3) networks, including TriStation, Modbus TCP and OPC. It also supports RS-232
and RS-485 serial communication with Modbus devices, TriStation 1131, and GPS for time synchronization.
• Enhanced Intelligent
Communication Modules (EICM) support RS-232, RS-422 and RS485 serial communication with Modbus devices and TriStation 1131.
• Network Communication Modules (NCM) support a number of Triconex protocols and applications and user-written applications on
Ethernet (802.3) networks, including TriStation 1131.
• Safety Manager Modules (SMM) act as an interface between a Tricon controller and a Honeywell
Universal Control Network (UCN), one of three principal networks of the TDC-3000 DCS.
• Hiway Interface Modules (HIM) act as an interface between a Tricon controller and a Honeywell TDC-3000 Hiway Gateway and Local Control Network (LCN).
• Advanced Communication Modules (ACM) allow a Tricon controller to interface with a Foxboro Industrial
