Triconex MP3101 Redundant Main Processor Module

Triconex MP3101 is the redundant main processor module designed for Trident triple modular redundant safety instrumented system. It runs safety control logic, executes 2oo3 voting algorithm and handles data communication with I/O modules in the safety rack.

This module uses Motorola MPC860 32-bit CPU and integrates flash and dram memory for safety program storage. It supports hot-swap replacement and continuous hardware self-diagnosis, widely used as spare replacement for petrochemical, power and chemical safety control cabinet maintenance and upgrade projects.
