What is the Tricon?

The Tricon is a state-of-the art  controller that provides fault tolerance  by means of Triple-Modular Redundant  (TMR) architecture. TMR integrates  three isolated, parallel control systems  and extensive diagnostics in one control  system. The system uses two-out-ofthree voting to provide high-integrity,  error-free, uninterrupted process operation with no single point of failure.

The Tricon controller uses three identical channels. Each channel independently executes the control program in  parallel with the other two channels.  Specialized hardware/software voting  mechanisms qualify and verify all  digital inputs and outputs from the  field, while analog inputs are subject to  a mid-value selection process.

Because each channel is isolated from  the others, no single-point failure in any  channel can pass to another. If a hardware failure does occur on one channel,  the other channels override it. Meanwhile the faulting module can easily be  removed and replaced while the controller is online without interrupting  the process.  

Boiler Flame Safety

Process steam boilers function as a critical component in most refinery applications. Protection of the boiler from  upset conditions, safety interlock for  normal startup and shutdown, and  flame-safety applications are combined  by one integrated Tricon system. In  traditional applications, these functions  had to be provided by separate, nonintegrated components. But with the  fault-tolerant, fail-safe Tricon  controller, the boiler operations staff  can use a critical resource more productively while maintaining safety at or  above the level of electromechanical  protection systems.

I/O Bus

The triplicated I/O bus transfers data  between the I/O modules and the main  processors at 375 kilobits per second.  The triplicated I/O bus is carried along  the bottom of the backplane. Each  channel of the I/O bus runs between  one of the three main processors and  the corresponding channels on the I/O  module. The I/O bus can be extended between  chassis using a set of three I/O bus  cables.
