The Triconex AO 3481S2 provides high-integrity analog signal processing for critical safety loops. This module utilizes a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture to ensure continuous process availability. Three independent internal channels measure incoming signals and store data in separate tables.
The Main Processors constantly validate these measurements through the high-speed TriBus network. This hardware uses a mid-value selection algorithm to resolve any channel discrepancies. Consequently, the system maintains accurate data integrity even if a hardware fault occurs. This design makes the module ideal for SIL3-rated safety instrumented systems.
