High-speed TriBus supports up to 1 Gbps data throughput in enhanced chassis
Built-in diagnostics and precise event timestamping (SOE) enhance visibility
Hot-swappable design allows maintenance without downtime
Performance comparison
Parameter | 3008 | 3009 (UMP) | MP3600 Series |
| CPU | MPC860 50 MHz | Dual-core P1021 800 MHz | ARM Cortex-A53 ≥1.2 GHz |
| DRAM | 16 MB | 256 MB | ≥4 GB DDR4 |
| TriBus Speed | 25 Mbps | Up to 1 Gbps | 1 Gbps |
| Diagnostics | Standard | Enhanced with SOE | Full diagnostics + OPC UA |
The 3009 module offers 32 supervised digital outputs with TMR redundancy. Other Triconex output modules (e.g., 3623, 3624) offer fewer points or non-supervised variants for less critical applications.
Typical cooperation cases
Global Refinery Safety Control
3009 “brain” modules implement emergency shutdown logic, timestamped event logging, and redundancy in distributed safety racks, ensuring continuous operation during maintenance.
European Power Plant Turbine Protection
Used in turbine safety systems to manage trip sequence and streamline diagnostics with high‑time accuracy and fail‑safe design.
Asian Petrochemical Batch Control
Deployed for complex batch recipes and safety interlocks; redundancy and diagnostic logging improve operational integrity.
Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms
Central processor in offshore skid racks; robust design and dual-core redundancy maintain safety-critical performance under extreme conditions.
