Can TRICONEX’s TMR Technology Redefine Industrial Safety Standards?

Can TRICONEX’s TMR Technology Redefine Industrial Safety Standards?

April 28, 2025

As the world's leading fault-tolerant safety control system, the TRICONEX system has irreplaceable advantages in the field of critical industrial safety due to its triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities. The following is a systematic summary of its technical features and industry applications:

 

1. Core Technology Advantages

Triple Redundancy Design (TMR)

Controller: Three independent channels execute programs in parallel, and fault tolerance is achieved through hardware voting devices (digital quantity) or median selection (analog quantity). Single point failure does not affect system operation.

I/O module: Supports hot swapping, and single channel failure can maintain operation for 1500 hours (in compliance with TUV AK6 level standard).

Communication: Redundancy protocol (MODBUS/Ethernet) ensures data transmission reliability.

High availability and reliability

Availability rate reaches 99.9998%, supporting 3/2/1 main processor downgrade operation.

Online maintenance capability: Faulty modules can be replaced with power on without downtime.

Advanced diagnostic technology

Covers real-time diagnosis of hardware such as FPGA and HDLC, and fault data is stored in NVRAM.

Sensor/actuator status monitoring to prevent false tripping.

Standardized development platform

TRISTATION 1131: Complies with IEC 61131-3 standard, supports graphical programming (such as FBD, LD), and integrates debugging and document generation functions.

 

2. Key Industry Application Scenarios


  • ESD emergency stop system
    Solve the problem of relay misoperation.
    Triple voting reduces false shutdowns.
    Seamlessly integrate DCS real-time monitoring.

  • Boiler protection system
    Integrated flame monitoring and interlock control.
    Improve response speed and safety level.
    Optimize combustion efficiency.

  • Turbine Control
    Unified anti-surge and speed control.
    Hot standby module ensures continuous operation.
    Fast closed-loop regulation.

  • Fire and Gas Monitoring (F&G)
    Centralized management of gas detection.
    Intelligent diagnosis reduces false alarms.
    Quick incident response.

  • Offshore Platform
    Anti-corrosion sealing design.
    Adapt to high salt spray environment.
    Ensure emergency shutdown reliability.

 

3. Differentiated Competitiveness

Hardware-level fault tolerance: Patented voting technology solves signal conflicts and is superior to dual redundant systems.

Flexible expansion: Supports distributed I/O and can expand multiple systems to form a large safety network.

Full life cycle support: Closed-loop management from configuration (TRISTATION) to maintenance (TSAA tool chain).

 

4. Typical user benefits

Reduce risk: TMR architecture meets SIL3 level requirements and avoids catastrophic accidents caused by single point failures.

Reduce downtime losses: Online maintenance capabilities can save millions of dollars in unplanned downtime costs each year.

Simplify engineering: A single programming interface reduces personnel training costs, and standardized modules shorten deployment cycles.

 

The TRICONEX system redefines the safety control standards of the process industry by deeply integrating redundancy technology, real-time diagnosis and the industrial Internet (such as OPC interfaces), especially suitable for the energy and chemical industry with strict requirements for continuous production. Its technical route also provides a reference architecture for intelligent safety systems in the era of Industry 4.0.
