Invensys TRICONEX 4329 Communication Module

Description

The Invensys TRICONEX 4329 is a dedicated Network Communication Module (NCM) designed to enable Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) connectivity between Triconex devices and external host systems. Equipped with two BNC connector ports, it supports dual network functions: NET 1 for peer-to-peer and GPS-based time synchronization protocols, and NET 2 for open network connections. Operating at a 10 Mbps data transfer rate compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, it offers broad protocol compatibility including Modbus, TCP/IP, Triconex proprietary protocols, and TSAA protocol for user-developed applications, plus integrated GPS time synchronization capabilities.

The module has a physical footprint of 16cm x 16cm x 12cm and weighs 0.8kg, with an operating temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius, and supports relative humidity levels from 5% to 95% without condensation. It draws power directly from the Triconex system, eliminating the need for independent power sources. Key performance features include multi-protocol support, high reliability, and network redundancy, ensuring stable, fault-tolerant data transmission. Its standard communication distance reaches 607 feet (185 meters), extendable to 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) with repeaters. Ideal for critical process control, mechanical safety, and energy management applications, it facilitates seamless, secure data exchange between control systems and external hosts.
