P13382 PI3382 | Triconex | Main Processor Module

Product Description

Product Overview

The Triconex P13382 (PI3382) Main Processor Module is the core computing element within a Tricon safety instrumented system. It is responsible for executing safety logic, coordinating system communications, and supervising I/O processing across the controller platform.

Designed for high-availability safety environments, this processor operates using Triconex’s fault-tolerant architecture, ensuring continuous protection even during internal hardware anomalies. Its role is critical in maintaining deterministic control and validated safety responses in complex process plants.

Core Processing Functions

The Triconex P13382 / PI3382 processes safety logic in parallel across independent processing paths and continuously compares execution results to identify discrepancies. Integrated diagnostics operate in real time, allowing the controller to isolate faults while maintaining operational continuity.

This design supports safety applications where downtime or incorrect logic execution is unacceptable, including emergency shutdown, fire and gas protection, and critical interlock systems.

System Architecture and Reliability

Built on Triple Modular Redundancy principles, the processor ensures that no single internal fault can influence system outputs. Voting logic validates execution results before actions are issued, preserving both safety integrity and system availability.

The module supports online replacement, allowing maintenance activities to be performed without interrupting plant operations when used in approved configurations.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

The Triconex P13382 Main Processor Module is deployed in safety-critical installations such as oil and gas production facilities, petrochemical plants, power generation sites, and other environments requiring certified functional safety and uninterrupted operation.

Integration and Lifecycle Notes

This processor is intended exclusively for Tricon safety systems and must be used with compatible Tricon racks, power supplies, and I/O modules. Proper configuration, grounding, and periodic system diagnostics are essential to preserve certified safety performance.
