Triconex 4201 Remote Extender Fiber Optic Module

Description

• • Electrical and Physical Parameters
    • Power Supply: It uses a 24V DC nominal power supply, with an input voltage range of 18 – 30V DC, which is consistent with the universal power supply standard of industrial field equipment.
    • Power Consumption: The maximum operating power consumption reaches 30 watts, which can balance the stable operation of the module and energy efficiency.
    • Physical Dimensions: The module has dimensions of 200mm × 120mm × 50mm, and its compact size facilitates installation in limited space of industrial control cabinets.
    • Weight: The net weight of the module is about 1.72 kilograms, which is light and easy to carry and install during on-site construction.
  • Environmental Parameters
    • Operating Temperature: It can maintain stable performance in the temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, adapting to extreme temperature conditions such as cold northern workshops and high-temperature chemical plants.
    • Storage Temperature: The safe storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, which meets the environmental requirements of long-term warehousing and cross-regional transportation.
    • Humidity Adaptability: It can operate normally under the condition of 5% – 95% relative humidity without condensation, which is suitable for high-humidity environments such as offshore oil platforms and coastal chemical plants.
    • Protection Level: It meets the IP65 protection standard, which can effectively prevent dust accumulation and the intrusion of splashing water, ensuring reliable operation in harsh field environments.
• Functional Features
  • Long-distance I/O Expansion Capability: The module effectively breaks the distance limitation of traditional wired connection between the main control system and I/O modules. It can connect three remote locations at the same time by linking with three remote RXM module groups, which greatly expands the coverage of the industrial control system.
  • Strong Anti-interference Performance: The fiber optic transmission method and built-in ground loop isolation function enable the module to resist electrostatic and electromagnetic interference from high-power equipment such as industrial motors and frequency converters. This ensures the accuracy and integrity of data during transmission without being affected by on-site electrical noise.
  • High Safety and Fault Isolation: Relying on the SIL 3 certification and compliance with strict international safety standards, the module can timely isolate fault points when a communication fault or a fault of a remote module occurs. It avoids the spread of faults to the entire control system and guarantees the safety of the industrial production process.
  • Hot-swap Support for Convenient Maintenance: It supports hot-swap operation. When the module malfunctions or needs routine maintenance, it can be replaced or maintained without shutting down the entire main control system, which minimizes production downtime caused by equipment maintenance.
  • Wide System Compatibility: It can be perfectly compatible with Triconex series control systems and can be configured and managed through TriStation 1131 software. At the same time, it supports multiple mainstream industrial communication protocols, which reduces the difficulty of system integration and is convenient for upgrading and transforming existing industrial control systems.
• Application Scenarios
  • Oil and Gas Industry: It is widely used in offshore drilling platforms, onshore oil fields and long-distance oil and gas pipelines. It connects remote sensors, flowmeters and emergency shutdown valve modules with the central control room. It realizes real-time monitoring of pipeline leakage and drilling equipment failure, and ensures that emergency measures can be triggered in time to avoid oil and gas leakage accidents.
  • Chemical Industry: In large chemical plants, it is applied to fire and gas detection systems and process control loops. It transmits signals collected by remote gas concentration detectors and reaction kettle temperature sensors to the central safety controller. It helps the system quickly respond to dangerous situations such as toxic gas leakage and abnormal reaction temperature.
  • Power Generation Industry: It is deployed in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants and substations. It is used in high-integrity pressure protection systems and generator set safety monitoring systems. It connects the I/O modules of key equipment such as transformers and turbines with the central control system to achieve long-distance safety monitoring and fault handling of power generation equipment.
  • Nuclear Industry: It is integrated into the safety monitoring system of nuclear power plants. It is responsible for transmitting data from remote radiation detectors, coolant level sensors and other equipment to the main control system. Its high safety and anti-interference performance ensures the stable operation of nuclear power-related safety systems and prevents nuclear leakage risks.
  • Metallurgical Industry: In iron and steel metallurgical plants, it is used in blast furnace control systems and converter process monitoring systems. It realizes long-distance data transmission between remote temperature and pressure detection equipment and the central control platform. It ensures the stability of smelting processes and improves the safety and efficiency of metallurgical production.
