Triconex 9000 Redundant System Chassis for Process Automation

Product Description

Overview

The Triconex 9000 is a high-performance system chassis and safety controller platform.
It houses processor, communication, and I/O modules, forming the core of a fault-tolerant TMR architecture.
Moreover, this chassis ensures uninterrupted operation in high-hazard industries while maintaining SIL 3 safety compliance.
It is ideal for Emergency Shutdown (ESD), Fire & Gas (F&G), Burner Management Systems (BMS), and High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS).

The 9000 platform supports scalable expansion with up to 19 module slots, allowing flexible integration of analog, digital, and communication modules.
Therefore, it provides a centralized, reliable solution for mission-critical process safety instrumentation.
