Description
1. Product Description
The Triconex 3201 is a communication module for the Trident safety and control system. It provides serial and Ethernet connectivity between the Trident controller and external systems, including distributed control systems (DCS), operator interfaces, engineering workstations, and compatible Modbus devices. The module supports data exchange and engineering access while keeping communication functions separate from the main safety-logic processor. It includes three serial interfaces configurable for RS-232 or RS-485 and two Ethernet ports. Confirm the communication baseplate, firmware, protocol settings, and system revision before installation or replacement.
