TRICONEX 3009 (UMP – Enhanced Main Processor)

Product Description The 3009 is the high‑end Enhanced Main Processor (UMP) for Tricon Trident (next‑gen TMR) SIS, designed for SIL3 safety applications. It’s the successor to 3008, with larger memory, faster logic execution, and dual TriBus for massive ESD/F&G/BMS systems. Requires 3 modules for full TMR (2oo3 voting).

Core Functions

Ultrafast TMR Safety Logic

Triple 80 MHz cores execute complex logic; 2oo3 voting eliminates single‑point failures—ideal for large/complex SIL3 ESD/F&G/BMS.

Massive Memory for Large Programs

64 MB DRAM + 16 MB Flash supports huge safety logic and data logging; 2–10 ms scan enables instant safety responses.

Dual Redundant TriBus

Two 25 Mbps buses ensure fault‑tolerant processor/I/O synchronization for large systems.

Hot‑Swap & Online Maintenance

Replace modules without shutdown; supports online programming/firmware updates via TriStation 1131.

Comprehensive Diagnostics & SOE

Real‑time fault logging, ECC tracking, and SOE for compliance; alarms to DCS/HMI.

Applications

Oil & Gas: Mega‑project ESD/F&G; large offshore platforms

Chemical/Refining: Complex reactor safety; high‑integrity BMS/ESD

Power Generation: Critical turbine BMS; boiler protection
