Triconex 3721 Analog Input Module
Product Overview
The Triconex 3721 is a high-performance analog input module engineered for safety-critical industrial automation systems, delivering precise signal acquisition and robust fault tolerance. As part of the Triconex TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) platform, this module is designed to meet the rigorous demands of applications requiring SIL 3 certification, such as emergency shutdown systems and process monitoring in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
Featuring 32 differential input channels with DC-coupled design, the Triconex 3721 supports voltage ranges of 0–5 VDC or ±5 VDC, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of field devices. Its programmable resolution (12-bit or 14-bit) and ±0.15% full-scale accuracy enable detailed measurement of process variables like temperature, pressure, and flow. The module’s advanced Total Fault Management (TFM) technology continuously monitors for faults, ensuring seamless operation even in the presence of single-point failures.
Integrated with Triconex’s TMR architecture, the Triconex 3721 employs a 2-out-of-3 voting mechanism to eliminate single points of failure, enhancing system reliability and availability. Its compact form factor and hot-swap capability facilitate easy integration into existing distributed control systems (DCS), reducing downtime during maintenance. Backed by comprehensive diagnostics and industry-standard certifications (CE, UL, FM, CSA), this module is a cornerstone for ensuring operational safety and compliance in mission-critical environments.
