TRICONEX TRIPLE MODULAR REDUNDANCY 

Tricon operation is based on the principle of safety and high plant availability, which identifies and  compensates for failed control system elements and allows on line replacement while continuing  its assigned task without interrupting the controlled process. Fault Tolerance is achieved through  TMR technology.

TMR employs three isolated, parallel control systems and extensive diagnostics integrated into one  system. The Tricon system uses two-out-of-three (2oo3) voting to provide high integrity, error-free,  uninterrupted process operation with no single point of failure. Setting up applications is simplified  with the Tricon, because the TMR system operates as a single control system from the user’s point of  view. The extensive diagnostics are inherent and transparent to the programmer.

Use of the Tricon continues to expand into new industries and applications as customers require  increased system safety and/or high availability. Today, Invensys has delivered and installed Triconex  safety system solutions in over 70 countries, providing increased safety and high process uptime.

SAFETY SOFTWARE SUITE 

Triconex’ comprehensive suite  of software solutions provides  clients with a set of robust and  user-friendly tools to help manage  and maintain their safety systems.  Having the right information at  the right time can help clients  mitigate risks, avoid costly  process downtime, comply with  regulations and help achieve your  production targets.
