Product Overview
The Triconex 3008 Main Processor is the core component for Tricon v9.6 and later safety-critical systems. Three 3008 modules operate in a triple-modular redundant configuration to ensure continuous uptime. Each unit independently manages its I/O subsystem and executes complex control logic. These processors feature advanced Sequence of Events (SOE) recording to capture precise system state changes.
