Tricon CX is the latest SIS controller that leverages the best of the proven Tricon and Trident Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) systems, and adds enhanced functionality that delivers safety for life, continuous operation, superior plant uptime, and overall productivity.

Tricon CX is the latest Triconex SIS controller, leveraging the pedigree of the field proven Tricon, Trident and Tri-GP safety, availability and security features.

Tricon CX is an extension of the market leading Tricon platform

• Uses the same triple modular redundant (TMR) architecture as proven over more than 30 years
• Adheres to the same principals of operation as proven in more than 19,000 systems
• Is the field proven “Tricon” inside a compact form factor
• Is based on the proven Tricon modules
• Is an extension of Tricon and can be used together with Tricon or standalone
• Expands the system capacity, capability and performance
• Follows the same Triconex lifecycle policies
• Uses the same TriStation software programming and diagnostic tools
• Protects existing Triconex investment and future proofs Tricon for the next 20+ years

The scalability of the system, the flexible system architecture, and the advanced capabilities such as online modifications and changes without stopping operation mean it is the only safety system that you will ever need. Tricon CX is compatible with the Tricon family, future-proofing existing and future investments.

Quick and easy to install

Simple mechanical design allows for maximum flexibility. Only three components are required to make a system — chassis, modules, and connectors.

Benefits of the Tricon CX design include:

• Minimizes the design effort
• Minimizes the number of different drawings required
• Minimizes wiring time and effort
• Allows for faster project execution
• Simple and easy to maintain
• Lowers the installed cost
• Lowers the capital and operational costs

Designed and engineered for optimum flexibility：

Tricon CX is a flexible SIL3 platform designed for the protection and mitigation of risks in high-hazard industries where safe and continuous operation are imperative. Tricon CX is capable of handling input/ output (I/O) counts of all sizes, from as little as 16 I/O channels in a single system to in excess of 750,000 I/O channels when deployed across 254 nodes. Systems can be centralized in one location, as well as distributed across multiple assets. All modules are fault tolerant and continue to operate even under fault conditions.

The simple mechanical design of Tricon CX makes it quick and easy to design, install, operate and maintain. Only three components are required to configure a Tricon CX system — the chassis, the modules, and the connectors.

Modules and connectors are separate, so modules can be replaced online without disturbing the I/O modules or wiring.

Chassis are designed for panel mounting or 19” mounting. No swing frames are required. Front access only is required — there is no need for rear access to any of the Tricon CX racks, modules, or connectors.

I/O modules and connector boards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Termination panels are supported and can be used with Tricon CX for maximum interoperability.

The integrated 24 Vdc power management and fusing simplifies power distribution, requiring less wiring, less engineering, less testing, and lower overall cost.

Universal connectivity

Tricon CX offers integration with all major DCS systems including direct integration with EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS.

Universal connectivity with all major distributed control systems：

The integration capabilities of Tricon CX provide freedom of choice when connecting to your distributed control system (DCS). Integrated, interfaced, or separate, all are available allowing you to select the “best of the best” without risk.

Supported protocols include Modbus TCP master and slave, Modbus Serial RS485 master and slave, Triconex TSAA protocol, OPC DA, OPC A&E (via external server), and HART protocol.

Each Tricon CX controller supports up to four communications modules in two redundant pairs. Controllers are physically separate so that modules can be replaced online.

The Unified Communications Module (UCM) provides direct integration of the Tricon CX safety system onto the Foxboro DCS control network, simplifying system design, reducing engineering, and footprint, and lowering the overall cost of ownership.

The EcoStruxure Triconex Communications Module (TCM) provides integration with hundreds of programmable logic controllers, human-machine interfaces and supervisory display systems, fire alarm panels, annunciator and mimic panels, etc.

Delivering continuous operation：

Highlights of the Tricon CX integration capabilities include:

• Select the integration method that is right for you — integrated or interfaced
• Select the best of the best without risk
• Maximize operability between systems
• Lower operational costs
• Future-proof investments
• Integration through industry standard protocols
• Noninterfering certified communications interfaces
