Description
1. Product Description
The Triconex 2101, also identified in some supplier catalogs as MP2101, is listed as a main processor baseplate for legacy Tricon safety instrumented systems. It provides the mounting structure and backplane connections required to install compatible processor modules and connect them to the system chassis. Tricon systems are used in safety-critical applications such as emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas protection, and process safety interlocks. The 2101 designation is used inconsistently in some third-party listings, so verify the complete part number and product label to distinguish a baseplate from an I/O or controller module before ordering.
