Logic Power Requirements for Tricon CX

Logic power refers to the maximum power needed to power all the modules in the
chassis. This calculation assumes that only one of the redundant power sources is
operational. Under normal operating conditions, both power sources share the load.
NOTE: Data in this section is based on a fault condition where only one of the
redundant power sources is operating. Under normal operating conditions, both
power sources share the load.
The table identifies the logic power for each module. To determine the logic power
needed for each chassis, add:
• Maximum logic power for all primary modules in the chassis
• Maximum logic power for all hot-spare modules in the chassis

Environmental Conditions
The Tricon CX system has been tested for use in harsh environmental conditions up
to Class G3 (Harsh) environments as defined in ISA Standard S71.04-2013:
Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control systems: Airborne
Contaminants, based on mixed flowing gas exposure testing according to EIA
Standard 364-65, Class IIIA, against the environmental conditions described in the
following table.
Table 14 - Class G3 (Harsh) Environmental Conditions
Temperature 30° C ± 1° C
Relative humidity 70% ± 2%
Cl2 20 ± 5 ppb
NO2 200 ± 50 ppb
H2S 100 ± 20 ppb
SO2 200 ± 50 ppb
Exposure time(a) 20 days
(a) The exposure time of 20 days is the “accepted equivalency of 10 years” in an industrial environment.
NOTE:
• The synergistic effects of various combinations of corrosive gases make the
determination of severity levels complex.
• The effects of elevated temperature and high or variable relative humidity
may cause the acceleration of corrosion by gaseous contaminants and will
impact the corrosion rates.
• The differing levels of exposure to harsh environmental conditions can reduce
the equipment Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).
• The Tricon system is not designed for prolonged exposure to particulate
corrosive elements such as Sulphur. Under such conditions, provide suitable
protection, such as purged air cabinets with appropriate filtration systems, to
ensure that the Tricon hardware is not exposed to particulate based corrosive
elements.
• The use of conformal coating does not stop the corrosive effects of harsh
environmental conditions.
• For equipment installations in harsh environmental conditions, Schneider
Electric suggests that customers obtain the guidance of an environmental
chemical or biological specialist.

8120X Main Chassis
A Tricon Model 8120X Main Chassis accepts three Model 3009X Main Processor
modules and four communication modules in two redundant pairs. It connects to the
Model 8131X I/O Expansion Chassis through triplicated RS-485 bi-directional
communication ports.
It also accepts Foxboro DCS time synchronization interfaces for Foxboro DCS mesh
integration. This requires an A/B Module Fieldbus and Time Strobe Terminator
(P0926KZ). For more on Foxboro DCS time synchronization, see the latest version of
B0700AQ, Foxboro DCS Time Synchronization User’s Guide.
The Model 8120X Main Chassis is powered by external 24 VDC redundant power
supplies.

8120X Main Chassis Alarms

8120X Main Chassis alarms assert when the controller detects either a system alarm
or a program alarm.
Each MP contains a redundant set of alarm solid-state relays, which are connected in
series between the MP modules. When no alarms are present, the relays are
energized by the MPs and in the closed position.
Both relays are independent and redundant, meaning that a program alarm or a
system alarm will change the state of both relays in each MP.
• A system alarm indicates a fault detected in the controller, its power supplies, or
field input.
• A program alarm indicates a problem detected by the control program.

8131X I/O Expansion Chassis Alarms

8131X I/O Expansion Chassis alarms assert when the controller detects a system
alarm.
Each Model 4703X IMFF (Interface Module Fiber-Fiber) contains a redundant set of
alarm solid-state relays, which are connected in series between the IMFF modules.
When no alarms are present, the relays are energized by the IMFFs and in the closed
position.
Both relays are independent and redundant, meaning that a system alarm will change
the state of both relays in each IMFF.
A system alarm indicates a fault detected in the controller, its power supplies, or field
input.
The alarm contacts on the 8131X I/O Expansion Chassis do not work with Model
4701X IMSS (Interface Module Serial-Serial).

This list describes the ability of the Triconex Sequence of Events (SOE) Recorder to
capture events from Model 3506X Supervised DI Modules:
• For every point on every module, the first event will be captured without loss.
• For any one point, the second event will be captured without loss if the time since
the first event is at least 6 milliseconds.
• With simultaneous events on all 32 points of a module, a second set of
simultaneous events will be captured without loss if the time between events is at
least 52 milliseconds.
• Continuous throughput of events on a module can be maintained without loss if
there is no more than one event every 30 milliseconds, on average, and no more
than 8 events per control program scan.
• Continuous throughput of events on a system can be maintained without loss if
there are no more than 32 events per control program scan.

3512X Pulse Input Module

Model 3512X is an 8-point TMR Pulse Input (PI) Module with a frequency range of 0.5
to 32000 Hz. It supports reading of very sensitive frequencies from external field
devices, and sending the information to the Main Processors for use in system
operation. The inputs can be individually connected to active or passive speed
sensors common on rotating equipment, such as turbines or compressors. The 3512X
module can be installed only in Tricon CX I/O expansion chassis.

3512X Pulse Input Operation

The 3512X Pulse Input (PI) Module has eight input points. Each point can be used
with these types of sensors:
• Passive
• Active
• Active open-collector
Magnetic speed sensors are a type of sensor common on rotating equipment such as
turbines or compressors for rotating speed measurement. The module senses voltage
transitions from magnetic sensors. The transitions are accumulated for a certain
period of time, and the accumulated pulse count is used to compute a frequency or
RPM which is transmitted to the main processors in the Tricon CX system.
Magnetic sensors contain an inductive coil. The sensor is physically close to the teeth
of a gear on the rotating shaft. As the shaft rotates and the teeth move past the
sensor, the resulting change in the magnetic field causes a sinusoidal signal to be
induced in the sensor coil. The magnitude of the output voltage depends on the speed
in which the teeth pass the sensor, the distance between the sensor and the teeth,
and the construction of the sensor. A typical gear has 30 to 120 teeth spaced at equal
distances around its perimeter.
Every point can be configured in TriStation 1131 for frequency (Hz) or speed (RPM). If
a point is configured for frequency, the measured value is equal to the frequency value
coming from the sensor. If a point is configured for speed, the speed value is
calculated using this formula:
Speed [RPM] = 60 x Frequency [Hz] x Gear Ratio / Gear Teeth
If the speed gear is located on the main shaft, the gear ratio is equal to one.
Otherwise, use an actual gear ratio between the main shaft and the speed gear shaft.
A jumper configuration is provided on the external termination panel for supported
sensor types. The input connection is differential for passive sensors and the input
connection is common ground for active sensors. There are terminations for providing
power to active sensors and connecting pull-up resistors for active open-collector
sensors.
NOTE: The circuitry is sensitive to any type of waveform distortion in amplitude,
which could result in erroneous measurements. For this reason, terminate all
unused points. For more information, see 9712X–110RF Field Wiring, page 162.
The PI module uses TMR architecture. For each input point, the module
independently processes three channels and then passes the data to the main
processors, where it is voted on just before processing by the control program.
Each module provides ongoing diagnostics on each channel. Failure of any diagnostic
on any channel activates the module’s Fault indicator, which in turn activates the
chassis alarm signal. The Fault indicator points to a detected channel fault, not a
detected module failure. The module operates properly in the presence of a single
detected fault and may continue to operate properly with certain kinds of multiple
detected faults.
PI modules support the hot-spare feature.
Each module requires a separate field termination (a cable interface to a remotely
located external termination panel). Each PI module is mechanically keyed to help
prevent improper installation in a configured chassis.
A PI module can take up to 20 seconds to become active after being inserted in a
small Tricon CX system, and up to five minutes to become active in a large system.
You can determine the active or fail status of the module only after this time.

NOTE:
• The 3512X is a low voltage module. See compatible termination
specifications for the operating voltages that can be connected, and
applicable over-voltage protections.
• Rapidly or continuously changing inputs may cause mis-compare readings
because the measured values of the three channels may in fact be different
by more than 0.5 percent, which can sometimes cause a fault to be detected
in error.
• If the input readings differ by a minimum of 0.5 percent of full scale and
continue for a minimum period of eight seconds, the probability of a detected
fault increases.
• If the measured frequency value in one or more channels of a point is greater
than 40 KHz, the value will be limited to 40 KHz. The module Field LED will
be turned ON and an error for the point will be reported.
• If the calculated acceleration in one or more channels is greater than ±10
KHz/s, the value will be limited to ±10 KHz/s.

Usage Considerations for the 3809X/3809AX AO Module

• Voter Diagnostics rely on current flowing through the voter. If there is no current
flow, or very low current flow, diagnostics will not run. Examples of this are:
◦ Any point where the field device is disconnected
◦ Any point that consistently draws less than 4 mA
◦ Whenever the field power supply is missing
If any of the conditions above can persist for an extended period, consider the
following:
◦ Implementing additional periodic proof testing
◦ Using alternative field devices, or otherwise ensuring that a minimum of 4 mA
flows from the F+ to the F– terminals
◦ Installing a shorting link on all unused points
◦ After changing unused point(s) to used, wait five minutes for the voter
diagnostic to execute

Usage Considerations for the 3902X/3902AX UIO Module

• Ensure the UIO point is configured as a type compatible with the field device
before you connect the field device to the system.
• Before you change a configured point to a different type, reconfigure the Physical
Location of the point to Memory and perform a Download Changes or a
9791042-002 Rev. 2 87
Download All. After the Download Changes or Download all is complete, change
the configured point to the new point type and perform a second Download
Changes or Download All to finalize the changes.
• During a Download All from TriStation 1131, it is possible that the module will
report "Loop device failed" warnings. The alarm will clear after the Download All is
complete and will not affect normal operation of the system.
• After changing unused point(s) to used, wait five minutes for the voter diagnostic
to execute. For a description of voter diagnostics, see the “OVD (Output Voter
Diagnostics)” section in the Planning and Installation Guide for Tricon Systems.
• Voter Diagnostics rely on current flowing through the voter. If there is no current
flow or very low current flow, diagnostics will not run. Examples of this are:
◦ Unsupervised Digital Inputs that are Off
◦ Unsupervised Digital Outputs that are Off
◦ Any point where the Field Device is disconnected
◦ Any point that consistently draws less than 4 mA
◦ Whenever the Field Power Supply is missing
◦ Unused points
If any of the conditions above can persist for an extended period, consider the
following:
• Implementing additional periodic proof testing
• Using supervised Digital Inputs
• Using supervised Digital Outputs
• Using alternative field devices, or otherwise ensuring that a minimum of 4 mA
flows from the F+ to the F– terminals

Usage Considerations for DI points on the 3902X/3902AX UIO

Module:
• Input wiring resistance for digital inputs must not exceed 130 ohms.
• Loop impedance for digital inputs must not exceed 150 ohms.
• For supervised DI points, install Rseries and Rparallel end of line resistors.
• Set the R Adjust (R_ADJ) in TriStation to allow for wiring impedance for
supervised DI points to allow reliable supervision and field fault detection.
• DI points are contact sensing and designed to detect an open or closed contact
between the F+ terminal and ground. This means that shorts to ground from the F
+ terminal will be interpreted as a closed contact (logic 1 (TRUE) in the TriStation
Application).

Usage Considerations for DO points on the 3902X/3902AX UIO

Module
• For DO points that are ON, the field device should draw no more than 50 mA from
the UIO module. The actual current drawn will depend on the load impedance,
but if the field device attempts to draw more than 55 mA, the module will attempt
9791042-002 Rev. 2 91
to regulate the current to 55 mA. The module will also declare a FIELD FAULT if
the field device attempts to draw more than 51 mA.
• Use supervised digital outputs for energized-to-trip systems.
• If digital output points are not supervised, field faults will not be detected for
outputs that are off. Consider this when you determine the periodic proof testing
interval for points that are off for long periods of time.
• When configuring digital output points in TriStation 1131, use the following
thresholds: OPEN_THRESHOLD: 1350 Ohms, SHORT_THRESHOLD: 130
Ohms
• This table identifies the maximum supported load resistance for the
corresponding DO current.
Loop Current (mA) Load Resistance (obms)

50 270
40 350
30 550
20 900
10 1800
8 2250
• The module expects a constant load for DO outputs that are on. Varying loads
may cause voter diagnostics to fail; for example, fans. You should apply
additional filtering if you drive such loads. Alternatively, you can disable voter
diagnostics for the module. If you disable voter diagnostics, you should conduct
additional safety analysis, which may require additional periodic proof testing.
• The module will periodically source a supervision current of 2 mA ±0.5 mA for 250
ms to allow diagnostics to run on supervised DO outputs that are off.
• The DO Select Switch on the FET must be up for Digital Outputs and down for all
other point types. Ensure that the switches are in the correct positions before
applying power to the system and after making any configuration changes.

HART Communication
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) is a bi-directional communication
protocol that provides data access between intelligent field instruments and host
systems such as Tricon platform controllers.
HART technology increases plant availability and improves performance, reduces
maintenance costs, and helps improve regulatory compliance.
HART is supported on the following modules:
• Model 3723X AI + HART
• Model 3809X/3809AX AO + HART
• Model 3902X/3902AX UIO
• Model 4355X TCM
• Model 4610X UCM
The maximum number of HART field devices you can configure in a Tricon 11.3.x or
later CX controller depends on the I/O module you are using.

Model 3902X/3902AX UIO module 16
The Triconex Controller DTM supports up to three simultaneous connections to HART

field devices when the devices are in “cyclic” upload mode.
NOTICE
LOSS OF COMMUNICATION
Do not install a hot-spare for the 3723X, 3809X, or 3902X I/O module unless you
have determined that your process can tolerate periodic brief loss of communication
between HART client(s) and field device(s).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of data.
If you have points on the 3723X, 3809X/3809AX, or 3902X/3902AX I/O module

configured for HART monitoring and one or more clients actively communicating with
attached field devices, you may have a brief loss of communication between the
HART client(s) and the field device(s) in these situations:
• Periodic board switch between the active I/O module and the installed hot-spare
I/O module
• Insertion of a hot-spare I/O module
HART communication stops briefly while the hot-spare I/O module transitions to the
Active state. Communication returns when the module has completed the transition
and the HART client re-establishes a connection.
If you must avoid this brief loss of communication, do not install hot-spares for 3723X,
3809X/3809AX, or 3902X/3902AX I/O modules.

IMSS or a Model 4703X IMFF is not in the IM-A slot.
• Schneider Electric recommends that you configure only one TCM or UCM to
use HART.

HART Commands
Tricon CX 11.5 and later systems support these commands when they are sent from a
HART client directly to a TCM or UCM.
Table 37 - Supported HART Commands
Command Command Description

Type
0 Universal Identity command. Reads identity information, including device type,

revision levels, and device ID. This command is the only command
that responds to both long and short frame addresses. The
combination of the device type and device ID make up the Unique ID
used to construct the 5-byte long frame address. No two devices may
have the same combination of this data.
20 Universal Reads the 32-byte long tag.
48 Universal Reads additional device status. May contain device specific status and
will include device status information not included in the response
code or device status byte in normal responses. The Gateway
contains no device specific status and the only applicable field that will
be modified will be Standardized Status 2. The rest of the fields will
return 0.
74 Common Reads the I/O system capabilities, including information to identify all
Practice sub-devices. Returned values include the maximum number of I/O
cards, maximum number of channels per I/O card, maximum number
of sub-devices per channel, and the number of devices detected
including the I/O system itself.
77 Common Passes an embedded HART command request to a specific sub-

Practice device. The I/O card and channel are used to verify proper
propagation of the embedded command.
84 Common Allows a host application to get a summary ("Live List") of all sub-
Practice devices connected to the I/O system. Any change to this list causes
the "Sub-Device List Changed" bit to be set in the command 48
response. Based on the number of sub-devices returned by command
74, the host application will issue one command 84 for each sub-
device. This will expedite identification.
106 Common Clears all pending delayed responses for the host that issues the
Practice command. Delayed responses that are currently running must not be
interrupted or aborted but may be completed.
Any HART command (Universal, Common Practice, and Device Specific) is supported
in Tricon CX 11.5 and later systems when it is sent embedded in a Command 77.

Alarm Wiring for the 8120X Main Chassis

The Model 8120X Main Chassis includes redundant alarm contacts; each with a
normally closed contact. Typically, alarm wiring is connected to a local or remote
annunciator. These devices can be wired in parallel with the alarm wiring so that the
designated alarm goes off when either contact signals an alarm condition. The
Program Alarm indicator is lit when the control program detects a specified condition
and sets the MP.SET_PROG_ALARM_ON attribute to True.
See Maximum Cable Lengths for Conducted Susceptibility, page 17 for cable length
limitations.

Heat Management for Tricon CX Systems

When mounting Tricon CX chassis in vented or unvented enclosures, you and the
integration engineer are responsible for providing sufficient heat management.
To establish cooling requirements, determine the total amount of heat to be generated
for dissipation by the following components in the enclosure:
• All modules installed
• All additional heat-generating devices
For optimal performance, the inlet temperature into the screened area at the bottom of
each chassis should be below 95° F (35° C).
For the calculated values of heat dissipation of each module, see the specifications for
each module in Product and Configuration Specifications for Tricon CX, page 15. The
amount of dissipated heat affects the type of heat management techniques
appropriate for the system.
These sections provide requirements and guidelines for managing the heat in your
Tricon CX system.
Mandatory Requirements for Managing Heat

All enclosure installations must meet these requirements:
• The temperature at the base of the main chassis should not be greater than 140°
F (60° C).
• The temperature at the base of I/O chassis should not be greater than 149° F
(65° C).
• There should be at least 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) of space between chassis.
• The airflow through or around the chassis can be characterized by the vertically
upward airflow measured at the chassis using an anemometer or some other air
velocity sensor.

This section describes a thermal analysis done for a 2000 mm x 800 mm x 800 mm
cabinet with two doors. It identifies recommended cabinet configurations depending
on the ambient temperature and the heat to be dissipated.
You can use other cabinet sizes and heat-management techniques, but the
mandatory requirements must be met, taking into consideration the total cabinet
power dissipation, heat management options, and operating environment.

Forced air cooling with >10 CFM of minimum air flow around each
chassis. This can be achieved with a 150 CFM roof-mounted fan and the
2 louvers described in configuration #1. The minimum velocity at the top of
any chassis should be >0.1 m/s.
Forced air cooling with >15 CFM of minimum balanced air flow through
each chassis. This can be achieved using door louvers, an air plenum,
3 and a low-flow 150 CFM roof-mounted fan (or redundant fans). The
minimum velocity at the top of any chassis should be >0.2 m/s.
Forced air cooling with >20 CFM of minimum balanced air flow through
each chassis. This can be achieved using door louvers, an air plenum,
4 and a high-flow 300 CFM roof-mounted fan (with or without redundant

Guidelines for Cooling Tricon CX Systems

The chassis that generates the least amount of heat or that is the most temperature-
sensitive should be the lowest chassis in a multi-chassis installation. The chassis that
generates the most amount of heat or that is the least temperature-sensitive should
be the highest chassis.
Chassis Clearances
We recommends the following clearances:
• Minimum of 5.25 inches (13.3 centimeters) of space between the enclosure
panels and sides of the chassis
• Minimum of 3.75 inches (9.5 centimeters) of space between the front of each
chassis and the enclosure
• Minimum of 7 inches (17.8 centimeters) of space between the bottom of the
chassis and the bottom of the enclosure
• Minimum of 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) of space between the top of each
chassis and any obstructions to airflow
120 9791042-002 Rev. 2

When the ambient temperature of the enclosure is around 72° F (22° C), these
clearances allow for adequate convection cooling of all chassis and create an
acceptable inlet air temperature (below 140° F, 60° C) into the highest chassis in the
enclosure.
Up to 40% of the volume created by these clearances may be consumed with non-
heat-generating equipment such as cables, structural components of the enclosure,
and wiring panels, provided that each component remains at least 1.75 inches (4.5
centimeters) away from the bottom and top of the chassis and does not block airflow
through the chassis.
If the clearances between the enclosure panels and chassis sides and front are
reduced, the installation should ensure that airflow is not restricted to any chassis and
that the maximum allowable temperatures into and through the chassis are not
exceeded. The open space between the enclosure walls and the fronts and sides of
all the chassis minimizes the direct flow of heated air exhaust from the bottom chassis
up through the higher chassis.

Airflow
The installation should ensure that forced airflow is through, and not around, the
chassis. Directing airflow with fans in an eight-chassis (four chassis in the front and
four chassis in the rear) cabinet is particularly challenging due to the column effect
caused by the fans. This issue can be mitigated by using a plenum, as recommended
in the Recommended Configurations for Managing Heat in 2000 mm x 800 mm x 800
mm Cabinets, page 115 table.
Sensors
Using temperature and fan airflow sensors ensures compliance with the chassis
temperature requirements. Sensors should be properly located at the top and bottom
of each chassis to notify you if the enclosure fans or facility air-conditioning fail. In the
event of either failure occurring, the inlet air temperature to the chassis and the
124 9791042-002 Rev. 2

temperature rise within the chassis may exceed the allowable maximum
temperatures.
Blank Slot Panel Usage

All unused chassis slots should be covered with Blank Slot Panels to minimize
exposure to dust and other particulate matter, and to minimize electromagnetic and
radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI).
Table 41 - Blank Slot Panels

I/O Bus Address of Chassis

The address plug on a chassis sets the chassis number (I/O chassis) or node number
(main chassis) in a Tricon CX system. The address of the main chassis is the node
number, and can range from 1 to 254. The address of an I/O expansion chassis can
be from 1 to 15. The chassis number is used as part of the I/O bus address, along with
the slot number and the left/right position. The address plug is installed during
installation of the chassis in the enclosure. This figure shows the location of the
address plug on an I/O expansion chassis.
Figure 57 - Address Plug on I/O Expansion Chassis
I/O Bus Wiring

The Tricon CX supports a TMR I/O bus connection with the following interface
modules.
9791042-002 Rev. 2 125

Table 42 - Supported I/O Bus Interface Modules
Model Description
4701X I/O Bus Interface Module Serial-Serial (IMSS), RS-485 serial
communication, up to 100 feet (30 meters)
4703X I/O Bus Interface Module Fiber-Fiber (IMFF); Single Mode (SM)
communication up to 12.4 miles (20 kilometers) or Multi-Mode (MM)
communication up to 1800 feet (550 meters)
The I/O bus cables are connected directly to the I/O bus interface modules.
The Model 4703X IMFF module can be used to convert single mode to multi-mode
fiber communication, and vice versa, using different types of small form-factor
pluggables (SFPs).
CAUTION
POTENTIAL FOR EYE INJURY
Use only Class 1 Laser SFPs. Do not stare at the open end of the fiber connection.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in eye injury.
When using the daisy chain network topology, the In Link connectors (on the I/O Bus
interface modules) are connected to the MP network (on the main chassis) or to the
Out Link connectors (on the I/O Bus interface modules) of the previous I/O chassis,
and the Out Link connectors are connected to the next I/O chassis in the daisy chain.
When using the star network topology, network switches are required for point-to-point
cable connection to the In Link connectors on the I/O bus interface modules.
For I/O bus security and safety, follow these guidelines:
• Use three independent, closed (no foreign network nodes) physical networks for
the leg A, leg B, and leg C I/O buses.
• If you use any interposing switches, turn off unused ports.
• Turn off unused Out ports on Model 4703X IMFFs, using TriStation 1131.
Figure 58 - Sample I/O Bus Topology
126 9791042-002 Rev. 2

The Star and Star + Daisy Chain topologies are supported if Model 4703X IMFFs are
used.
You can simultaneously use the SFP IOP bus ports on the 3009X MP and the RJ-45
RS-485 serial I/O bus ports on the 8120X Main Chassis. For example, you can
connect the SFP IOP bus ports to a remote I/O Expansion Chassis and connect the
RJ-45 RS-485 serial I/O bus ports to a local I/O Expansion Chassis. The remote I/O
Expansion Chassis would contain 4703X IMFFs and the local I/O Expansion Chassis
would contain 4701X IMSSs.
Similarly, on 4703X IMFFs you can simultaneously use the SFP IOP bus ports and the
RJ-45 RS-485 serial I/O bus ports.
Key Plates for I/O Modules and Key Bases for I/O Cables
In the Model 8131X I/O Expansion Chassis, Field External Termination (FET)
connectors are required for installing I/O modules and for connecting interface cables
from ETPs. Each FET connector contains a key plate and a key base.
Figure 59 - Key Plate and Key Base on FET
A Key Plate
B Key Base
The key plate is next to the module socket and is uniquely slotted to allow installation
of only compatible I/O modules. All modules of a particular type are identically keyed
to match the key plate on compatible FETs.
The key base is installed around the I/O cable connector and is uniquely slotted to
allow connection of only compatible cables. All cables of a particular type are
identically keyed to match the key base on compatible FETs.
If you try to install a module in an incorrect slot, the module will not slide all the way
into the chassis. Do not apply force to overcome the obstruction. The obstruction
could be the key plate on an incompatible FET. Always follow the complete module
installation procedure.
For information on FET and I/O module compatibility, see Field Termination Options by
Module Model Number, page 153.
9791042-002 Rev. 2 127

MP Node Setting
The main chassis address plug, on the front of the main chassis, identifies the node of
the controller on a network. The factory setting is node 1. The setting can be from 1 to
254. You must ensure the node setting is configured in TriStation 1131.TCMs and
UCMs automatically obtain the node setting from the MP.
Installing Modules
Before you install each module, ensure that:
• Power is available.
• Field wiring and external termination panels (ETPs) are properly connected (if
applicable).
• The module to be inserted has the correct firmware version, as defined in the
Tricon Product Release Notice for your version of the system.
This procedure contains steps to ensure the correct module gets installed. Do not skip
any of the steps because doing so increases the risk of an incorrect module being
installed into the system.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not apply excessive force to overcome an obstruction felt when inserting a
module into the FET. The obstruction is the key plate, which is there to prevent
installation of the wrong type of module.
1. Ensure that the correct FET—one that is compatible with the I/O module—is
installed in the slot (if applicable).
2. Ensure there are no bent pins on the connector of the module to be inserted.
3. If you are installing a redundant module and the other module of the pair is
already inserted, ensure that the model number of the module and the color-code
stripe are identical to the already-inserted module.
4. Insert the module into the slot and push it in until you feel the back of the module
make contact with the guide pin and the connector at the back of the slot.
5. Firmly seat the module by smoothly pushing it in to engage the connector.
Complete this step within 3 seconds.
6. Tighten the retractable fasteners of the module to 10 inch-pounds.
Digital Output Field Wiring Precautions

When installing field wiring for Digital Output Modules, Schneider Electric
recommends that you do not make parallel connections or series connections to
digital output points. These types of connections can cause the commanded state and
the measured state of points to disagree, resulting in load alarms and limited
effectiveness of Output Voter Diagnostics (OVD).

Implementation and Maintenance of Tricon CX Systems

When installing a Tricon CX system, refer to this section for information related to
implementation and maintenance. To help ensure safety and long service, Schneider
Electric recommends that you establish a schedule for routine maintenance at the
time the controller is installed, and then adhere to that schedule.
WARNING
Follow published procedures when performing maintenance on the controller while
it is operating. If in doubt about the procedures, take whatever steps are necessary
to ensure the safety of the plant and personnel, then call Schneider Electric for
assistance in implementing the repair procedures.
For detailed guidelines on each of these topics, see the Planning and Installation
Guide for Tricon Systems:
• Disabling Output Voter Diagnostics on DO Modules
• Enabling “Disabled” Output Voter Diagnostics
• Verifying Spare Modules
• Proof Testing the Logic Solver
Checking Tricon CX Controller Power Sources

To ensure maximum availability, Tricon CX controllers typically use redundant sources
to power the controller and field circuitry. Under normal operating conditions, the
required power is shared between the two power sources. Under abnormal
conditions, one of the power sources may be required to provide 100 percent of the
controller power.
To verify the integrity of the power source and avoid spurious trips due to power
supply failures, you must periodically test each power source for its ability to provide
power for the entire system when the redundant source is disabled. You need to
perform the testing of the power sources used for the controller every six months
using these steps.
WARNING
UNEXPECTED TRANSITION TO SAFE STATE
Perform the "Checking Tricon CX Controller Power Sources" procedure only while
the process under control is in an off-line or shutdown status.
1. Take the control process offline.

2. Turn off one of the power sources and leave it off for several minutes.
3. After restoring power, repeat the test for the other power source.
4. Turn on both power sources prior to restarting the controlled process.

includes a Pass, Fault, and Active indicator.
• Field power indicators that identify whether a power problem has occurred.
• Points indicators that identify whether the point is energized. (Not on Analog Input
or Analog Output Modules.)
• Communication indicators that identify the type of communication occurring.
(Only on MP and communication modules.)
Fault and Alarm Indicator Identification

Fault indicators identify potentially serious problems with a module. Alarm conditions
identify abnormal field conditions such as loss of power or loss of communication. If a
fault or alarm indicator is on, you should consult the appropriate topic in this guide and
take appropriate action. This action may include replacing a module or repairing a
circuit or device. You can identify alarm and fault conditions in these ways:
• By examining the indicators on the front panel of each module and comparing the
indicators with the descriptions in this chapter.
• By using the Enhanced Diagnostic Monitor.
Status Indicators on MP Modules

The Model 3009X MP status indicators identify the processing state for the main
processors and the system.
A fault indicator indicates that the processor has an internal fault.

Mode Indicators on MP Modules

The Model 3009X MP mode indicators identify the current operating mode of the
controller.
Operational modes are set in TriStation 1131 software or by the keyswitch on the main

Connectors on Tricon CX Interface Cables

This table identifies the type of connectors on each interface cable included in
external termination panel (ETP) kits that are compatible with Tricon CX I/O modules.
All interface cables included in Tricon CX ETP kits are RoHS compliant and meet FT4
flame test ratings.
NOTE: Although the standard length of all interface cables is 10 feet (3 meters),
you may order any length cable up to 90 feet (27.4 meters) in 10-foot increments
by using the last two digits of the ETP kit model number to specify length in feet.
For example, specify 9xxxX-x50RF if you want a 50-foot (15-meter) cable instead
of the standard 10-foot (3-meter) cable.
For more information about interface cables, see the “Interface Cables” section in the
Field Terminations Guide for Tricon Systems.

Field Wiring Diagram for Passive Sensors

This figure shows how to connect passive sensors to 9712X-110RF (with point 1 used
as an example). The sensor wires are IN+, IN–, and shield. No field power is required
for the passive sensor. A jumper on the Sensor Configuration Block sets the input
configuration for differential input. The cable shield is connected to functional earth
(shield ground).
You can add an optional termination resistor to the Cable Termination Block to
terminate the input signal on long cable runs. The recommended termination resistor
is within the range of 1 kilohm to 10 kilohms and rated at a minimum of 2 W. If you use
a resistor lower than 1 kilohm, recalculate the required resistor wattage and be aware
that the specified sensitivity and frequency range may be affected.
Do not enable Field Power Monitoring in TriStation 1131 for points connected to
passive sensors.

Field External Termination (FET) Connectors

This section describes field external termination (FET) connectors that are compatible
with Tricon CX I/O modules.
FETs are required for installing I/O modules in the Model 8131X I/O Expansion
Chassis and for connecting ETPs to the I/O modules in the Model 8131X I/O
Expansion Chassis.
Each FET model has a key plate that allows only compatible I/O modules to be
installed in the slot.

Tricon CX Addendum to Tricon User Guides Appendix: Tricon Platform System Aliases
Appendix: Tricon Platform System Aliases

Overview of Tricon Platform System Aliases and Variables
System aliases are used in the place of system variables to access data in a Tricon
platform controller from a Modbus client or another external computer. System aliases
provide the same information to external hosts that system variables provide to
TriStation 1131 applications.
There are three general classes of variables and aliases used by a Tricon platform
controller: input/output (I/O), memory, and system.
• I/O aliases are automatically assigned by the controller when a user installs or
moves a module in a chassis.
• Memory aliases must be assigned by the programmer according to the
convention shown in this section.
• System aliases are predefined by Schneider Electric and cannot be changed.
Alias numbers consist of five or six digits according to this convention.
Digit 1 (Modbus data type) Digits 2 through 5 or 6

0 = Read/write discrete (coil) Address of variable
1 = Read-only discrete (input coil)
3 = Read-only register (input register)
4 = Read/write register (holding register)
NOTE: Six-digit aliases are supported only in Tricon platform 11.2 and later
systems.
Tricon Platform Modbus Alias Ranges

This table lists six-digit Modbus alias ranges that are supported in Tricon platform 11.2
and later systems. An asterisk (*) means Modbus SOE data can be retrieved through
