Product Details:

TRICONEX 4328 also known as NCM4328 is a network communication module built with triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture for Triconex Tricon safety instrumented systems (SIS). This TMR safety network module establishes reliable Ethernet communication between the Tricon main processor and external systems, including DCS, HMI, TriStation engineering workstation and other Tricon controller racks for peer-to-peer data exchange. The Tricon network communication module is equipped with dual BNC 10BASE2 coaxial Ethernet ports, supporting 10Mbps half-duplex transmission. It supports Modbus TCP, TriStation proprietary protocol and time synchronization function to transmit safety variables, alarm status and SOE sequence of events records. The module adopts 2-out-of-3 voting logic for all transmitted and received data to eliminate single point of failure and guarantee data integrity. It continuously monitors network link status, data checksum and internal hardware health, and uploads fault alarm messages immediately once cable failure, network disconnection or hardware abnormality is detected. The module supports hot swap operation, maintenance personnel can replace the faulty network communication module online without shutting down the whole safety system. Front panel LED indicators display module PASS, FAULT, LINK and ACT status for fast on-site inspection and troubleshooting. It is installed in dedicated communication slot of standard Tricon rack and cooperates with Tricon processor and I/O modules. Widely applied in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical and power industries, this TRICONEX 4328 network communication module is used for ESD emergency shutdown, fire and gas detection and burner management safety interlock systems.
