Triconex DCS Systems offers unprecedented support for communications integration via industry-standard protocols. To date, the TCM incorporates an Embedded OPC Server and Modbus TCP/IP together with Safe Peer to Peer and other standard Triconex features. In addition, the TCM supports full TCP/IP and routing functions for use with LANs and WANs.
To help ensure uncompromised safety, the TCM acts as a layer that isolates the Tricon safety system from control network and private LAN nuisances. The TCM itself is designed to degrade safely and recover gracefully. Support for redundant connections helps ensure that there will be no “loss of view” of the safety system from the DCS. Like other Tricon family products, the TCM is TUV approved for use in systems up to SIL 3.
A powerful, scalable design with assurance of continuous operation, the Tricon system complies with international safety standards such as IEC61508 and fulfils the requirements for applications such as Emergency Shutdown (ESD), Fire and Gas Protection (F&G), Burner Management (BMS), High Integrity Pressure Protection (HIPPS) and Turbomachinery Control (TMC). The redundant high availability architecture provides a flexible, robust, reliable and powerful solution that is ideal for clients looking to achieve environmental and safety excellence.
The Tricon system is a must for clients who need to maximize the safety and performance of their assets. If you are challenged with reducing investment and lifecycle costs, meeting new safety standards, combating tough competitive pressure in your markets as well as the welfare of your employees and the environment, then the Tricon system is designed for you.
