Invensys TRICONEX 3006 Main Processor Module

Description

The Invensys TRICONEX 3006 Main Processor Module is an advanced industrial control component built for harsh industrial environments, featuring corrosion resistance and high reliability. Based on Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) fault-tolerant architecture, it delivers exceptional safety and availability, ensuring continuous operation even if the main processor module fails. It supports remote and distributed I/O, and offers robust data exchange and simulation capabilities to streamline system configuration and monitoring.

Key technical specifications include a 32-bit 25 MHz National NS32GX32 central processor paired with a 32-bit 25 MHz National NS32381 math co-processor, 512KB EPROM, and 2MB SRAM. It is equipped with a battery-backed clock calendar with typical drift of ±2 seconds per day and maximum drift of ±8.6 seconds per day, and uses a TriBus with 4 megabits per second, 16-bit DMA for data transfer, plus a serial port for Diagread diagnostic analysis. Measuring 4.4 cm x 16.9 cm x 22 cm and weighing 5 kg, it is compatible with Tricon v9.0 to v9.5.x systems; it shares identical architecture with the 3007 model, differing only in SRAM capacity (2MB for 3006 vs 1MB for 3007). Ideal for critical applications in oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing industries, it supports real-time data access, trend tracking, alarm/event handling, and PlantCruise system simulation for efficient monitoring.
