CM2201 | Triconex Communication Interface for Safety Systems

Product Description

Overview

The Triconex CM2201 (Part No. 7400206‑100) is a high-performance communication module within the Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS).
It enables secure, fault-tolerant, and high-speed data exchange between Triconex controllers and external systems, including Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), historians, and peer controllers.
Moreover, its Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture ensures continuous operation, robust diagnostics, and SIL 3 safety compliance in critical industrial environments.
The CM2201 is widely used in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, and power generation industries for reliable controller connectivity.
