TRICONEX 4354 Tricon Communication Module (TCM)

TCM models 4353 and 4354 have a base. NET 2’s embedded OPC server allows up to 10 OPC clients to subscribe to the data server collected by OPC. Embedded OPC servers support Data Access 2.05 standard Alerts and Events 1.10 standard. Each TCM contains two networks, port-NET 1 and NET 2. Models 4351A 4351B and 4353 have two copper Ethernet (802.3) ports and Models 4352A, 4352B and 4354 have two fiber Ethernet ports. About TCM Models 4351A,4351B, 4352A, and 4352B, NET 1 and NET 2 support TCP/IP, Modbus TCP/IP Slave/Master, TSAA, Three-station, SNTP, and Jet Direct(for network) printing) protocols. NET1 also supports point-to-point (UDP/IP) and point-to-point time synchronization protocols.

TCM model 4353 and 4354,NET 2 only support embedded OPC server, trstation and SNTP protocol, while. NET 1 supports all the features listed except the embedded OPC protocol server. A single Tricon system supports a maximum of four tcm and must reside in two logical slots. Different TCM models cannot mix logic slots. Each Tricon system supports 32 Modbus masters or slaves – this total includes network and serial ports. The hot spare feature does not exist although you can use it in TCM to replace a faulty TCM controller online.
