TRICONEX-3401-The Trident supports a complete range of modules for applications with low point counts and distributed I/O.

　　The Trident supports a range of modules for applications with low point counts and distributed I/O. This section provides detailed specifications for each product in the Trident family.

　　Also included are:

　　• International approvals (page 23)

　　• Environmental specifications (page 24)

　　• Dimensions and clearances (page 25)

　　Main Processor Modules and Baseplates

　　Every Trident system is controlled by three Main Processor (MP) Modules that reside on a single baseplate. Each MP Module acts as one channel of the triplicated Trident system. For details, see page 25.

　　Communication Module and Baseplate

　　The Communication Module (CM) is a three-to-one interface to the MPs that enables use of industry-standard communication protocols. A single Trident controller can support up to two CMs on one CM Baseplate with each CM operating independently. Two CMs can provide redundant communication connections or independent communication ports. For details, see page 27.

　　Analog Input Module and Baseplates

　　Each Analog Input (AI) Module has three isolated channels which independently process analog inputs from field devices. Each channel transmits the data to the MP associated with the channel. The MPs vote the data before passing it to the application. For details, see page 32. In addition to the standard AI baseplate, a HART AI baseplate and a hazardous location HART AI baseplate are available.

　　Analog Input/Digital Input Module and Baseplates

　　Each Analog Input/Digital Input (AI/DI) Module has three isolated channels which independently process analog and digital inputs from field devices. Each channel transmits the data to the MP associated with the channel. The MPs vote the data before passing it to the application. For details, see page 32.

　　Analog Output Modules and Baseplates

　　Each Analog Output (AO) Module has three isolated channels which independently accept data from the MPs. Voter circuitry selects a single channel to drive the output and shunts output from the other channels. For details, see page 33. In addition to the standard AO baseplate, a HART AO baseplate and a hazardous location HART AO baseplate are available.

　　Digital Input Module and Baseplates

　　Each Digital Input (DI) Module has three isolated channels which independently process digital input from field devices. Each channel transmits the data to the MP associated with the channel. For details, see page 35.

　　Digital Output Module and Baseplates

　　Each Digital Output (DO) Module has three isolated channels which independently accept data from the MP associated with each channel. For details, see page 36.

　　Pulse Input Module and Baseplate

　　Each Pulse Input (PI) Module has three isolated channels which independently receive voltage transitions from each point and converts the transitions to frequency (RPM) data. For details, see page 37.

　　Solid-State Relay Output Module and Baseplate

　　Each Solid-State Relay Output (SRO) Module has three isolated channels which independently accept data from the MP associated with each channel. The channels provide input to a voter circuit which uses the voted value to drive the coil of the relay. For details, see page 38.

　　I/O Extender Modules

　　I/O Extender Module Kits are used to carry I/O messages from one I/O column to another and to provide logic power terminals for each I/O column. For details, see page 39.

　　Interconnect Assemblies

　　Trident baseplates within a single I/O column are connected by Interconnect Assemblies that carry I/O messages and logic power across the baseplates. For details, see page 40.

　　Required Accessories

　　Accessories such as end caps, terminal covers, and slot covers are required to protect Trident components from dust, liquids, and corrosive atmospheres. For details, see page 40.Components for the Trident system are offered in TriPaks and kits, as well as by individual parts. For details, see page 18.

　　International Approvals

　　The Trident controller has been certified as complying with multiple internationally recognized standards by the following internationally recognized certification agencies, these certifications have qualified the Trident for use around the world in safety critical applications. Test reports from the various certification agencies are available upon request.

　　Canadian Standards Association

　　CSA has certified that the Trident v2.x controller is in full compliance with the following internationally recognized electrical safety standards and is qualified for general use in North American and other jurisdictions requiring compliance with these standards.

　　European Union CE Mark

　　Based upon the independent TÜV evaluation and test results, Triconex has certified the Trident v2.x controller suitable to use in the European Union and all other jurisdictions requiring compliance with the European Union EMC Directive No. 89/336/EEC and Low Voltage Equipment Directive No. 72/23/EEC. See Certificate of Compliance for details. To ensure maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, the Trident and associated wiring must be installed following the guidelines outlined in the Planning and Installation Guide.

　　To comply with the CE Mark requirement for emissions, the Main Processor Modules and the Communication Modules must be mounted in a metal enclosure. To ensure compliance with the EU directives, the following additional guidelines must be followed:

　　The Main Processor Modules and the Communication Modules must be mounted in a metal enclosure.

　　Field power supplies must be approved for use in safety extra-lowvoltage (SELV) circuits according to the requirements of IEC 61010-1.
