Triconex 3008 main processor module

Hardware specifications:

Processor: A 32-bit, 50MHz Motorola MPC860 processor is adopted.

Memory: Equipped with 16MB DRAM (without battery backup), 32KB SRAM (with battery backup) and 6MB Flash PROM.

Communication interface: Supports 25Mbps Tribus communication, features 32-bit CRC protection, 32-bit DMA, and is completely isolated. It is equipped with an optically isolated RS-232 interface for diagnostic analysis, located on a 25-pin connector with an isolation voltage of 500VDC.

Functional characteristics:

Triple redundancy design: Each Tricon system's mainframe rack must be equipped with three MP3008 modules. This design enhances the reliability and fault tolerance of the system. Even if one module malfunctions, the others can still continue to operate, ensuring the stable operation of the system.

Event sequence and time synchronization: During each scan, the module checks the state changes (i.e., events) of the specified discrete variables. When an event occurs, the current variable status and timestamp will be saved in the buffer of the Event Sequence (SOE) block, which is helpful for subsequent event analysis and fault diagnosis.

Diagnostic function: The module is equipped with powerful diagnostic capabilities, including verifying fixed program memory and static RAM, testing all basic processors and floating-point instructions and operation modes, and verifying user memory through the Tribus hardware voting circuit, etc., to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.

Execution control logic: Receive signals from sensors and other input devices, perform calculations and judgments based on preset control logic, and then send control instructions to the actuator to achieve precise control of industrial processes.

Data processing and communication: Capable of handling large amounts of data, including input signal processing, generating output instructions, and communicating with other devices or systems. Support multiple communication protocols to ensure accurate data transmission and real-time performance.

Application

Petrochemical field: It is widely applied in petrochemical projects. For example, in the Zhejiang Petrochemical Chemical New Materials project, the Triconex 3008 main processor module, as the core component of the Triconex SIS safety instrument system, can be used to control key equipment such as reactors and distillation columns. It can process data from various sensors such as temperature, pressure and flow in real time, send instructions to the actuator according to the preset control logic, precisely adjust the valve opening, pump speed, etc., ensure that the production process operates within a safe range, and at the same time optimize production efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

In the field of power: It can be used in the control systems of power plants, such as in thermal power plants, to monitor and control equipment like boilers and steam turbines. It can quickly process various parameter information during the operation of the unit, promptly issue control signals, and ensure the stable operation and efficient power generation of the unit. In substations, Triconex 3008 can participate in the protection and automatic control of the power system, achieve precise control of switchgear and rapid response to faults, and ensure the reliable transmission of electricity.

Metallurgical field: In the metallurgical production process, such as the blast furnace ironmaking and converter steelmaking links in steel plants, the Triconex 3008 main processor module can be used to control the feeding system of blast furnaces, the furnace temperature regulation system, and the oxygen blowing system of converters, etc. By precisely controlling these key process links, the stability of product quality is guaranteed, production efficiency is enhanced, and at the same time, the safety of the production process is ensured, reducing the possibility of accidents.

In the field of natural gas processing: In natural gas processing plants, it can be used to control the purification, compression, liquefaction and other technological processes of natural gas. For example, for the control of the natural gas desulfurization device, by monitoring parameters such as the concentration and flow rate of the desulfurizer in real time, as well as data such as the temperature and pressure in the reaction tower, and leveraging the powerful computing and logical processing capabilities of the Triconex 3008 main processor module, the addition amount of the desulfurizer and the operating status of related equipment can be precisely controlled. Ensure the desulfurization effect of natural gas and the safety and stability of the processing process.

In the field of nuclear industry: The safety of nuclear power plants is of vital importance. The Triconex 3008 main processor module can be used in the instrumentation and control system of nuclear power plants to conduct real-time monitoring and control of key parameters such as the temperature, pressure and liquid level of the reactor. When abnormal situations occur, it can respond promptly and activate corresponding safety protection measures to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants.
