Model 3008 Main Processors (MP) areavailable for Tricon v9.6 and latersystems. For detailed specifications,see the Planning and Installation Guidefor Tricon Systems.Three MPs must be installed in theMain Chassis of every Tricon system.Each MP independently communicateswith its I/O subsystem and executes theuser-written control program.

During each scan, the MPs inspectdesignated discrete variables for statechanges known as events. When anevent occurs, the MPs save the currentvariable state and time stamp in thebuffer of an SOE block.

The 3008 TRICONEX Main Processors Module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Each Tricon system requires three 3008 Main Processors installed in the main chassis (Model 8110). Each MP operates as an independent channel, executing the user-written control program in parallel with the other two MPs. As each input module is polled, new input data is transmitted to all three MPs over the triplicated I/O bus. Each MP assembles this data into an input table and stores it in memory. The individual input tables are then exchanged among the three MPs over the proprietary TriBus, where hardware majority voting occurs. The voted data is used by the application program, and outputs are similarly voted before transmission to output modules. This architecture ensures that a fault in any single MP, I/O module, or communication path cannot cause a dangerous failure or spurious trip.

This content has been produced using multiple sources.Amikon takes no responsibility for the accuracy of this information. Always consult the original equipment manufacturer for the most up to date instructions and information.
Chassis Location: Modules must only be inserted into the designated MP slots located in the Main Chassis. They cannot be installed within an Expansion Chassis or a Remote Extender Module (RXM) chassis, which are exclusively reserved for I/O and specialized communication modules.
Mechanical Keying Protection: The main backplane and slots feature distinct mechanical keying. This physical block safely prevents you from accidentally sliding a 3008 MP module into an inappropriate I/O or power supply slot.

FAQs

  • What is the 3008?

    +
    The Triconex 3008 is a Main Processor (MP) for safety-critical industrial environments like oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing.
  • Does the 3008 support online hot-sparing?

    +
    Yes. If any diagnostic fails or a module needs repair, hot-spare support allows for the removal and online replacement of faulty modules without needing to shut down the system or stop the control program.
  • Can I mix Model 3008 and Model 3009 processors in the same system?

    +
    No. Mixing different model types within the same Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) processor set is generally not supported. The processors must be of the identical model and revision level to maintain system synchronization.
  • What is the difference between the 3008 and 3009 processors?

    +
    The 3009 represents a later generation of Triconex processors, offering increased processing capabilities and much faster TriBus communication speeds (up to 1000 Mbps in enhanced chassis, compared to the 3008's 25 Mbps). Migrations from the 3008 to the 3009 often require careful version matching and hardware compatibility checks
  • What is the purpose of TriBus in the Triconex 3008?

    +
    TriBus is a high-speed proprietary bus system running at 25 Mbps on the 3008 module. It handles critical functions independent of the control program, including inter-processor synchronization, hardware majority voting on all digital input data, and memory validation.
