Performance comparison
Parameter | 3006/3007 | 3008 | 3009 |
CPU Speed | 20–30 MHz | 50 MHz | 66 MHz+ |
Memory (DRAM) | 8 MB | 16 MB | 32 MB |
TriBus Speed | 4 Mbps | 25 Mbps | 25 Mbps |
Flash Storage | 4 MB | 6 MB | 8 MB+ |
Summary:
3008 offers 50 MHz CPU, robust memory, and fast TriBus. Older modules (3006/3007) run slower TriBus (4 Mbps); successor 3009 provides additional Flash and faster performance.
Typical cooperation cases
Global Refinery Control Upgrade
3008 modules deployed to centralize safety logic across multiple zones. Redundancy minimized unscheduled shutdowns.
Power Plant Turbine Monitoring (Europe)
Ensured synchronous event logging and control via precise TriClock timing. Improved fault detection and maintenance planning.
Chemical Processing Facility (Asia)
Integrated with advanced control logic and emergency response routines. High reliability enabled compliance with SIL 3 standards.
