Triconex 8111 High-Density Expansion Chassis

Description

• • Functional and System Parameters
    • I/O Capacity: It supports up to 128 I/O channels, which can meet the access needs of a large number of on-site input and output devices in large-scale industrial projects.
    • Core Configuration: It is equipped with three Intel Pentium 4 processors, 3GB of RAM and a 40GB hard disk, which provides strong computing power for real-time data processing.
    • Operating System: It runs on the VxWorks embedded operating system, which is famous for its high stability and real-time performance and can adapt to the long-term continuous operation requirements of industrial systems.
• Functional Features
  • Triple Modular Redundancy for Fault Tolerance: It adopts the triple modular redundant architecture. When a single internal module or component malfunctions, the other two redundant parts can immediately take over its work. This design completely avoids system downtime caused by single-point faults and ensures the continuous operation of safety-critical processes.
  • High-Density Configuration for Strong Expansion: The chassis is designed with a high-density structure and is equipped with multiple module slots. It can carry various I/O modules and communication modules at the same time, and supports expanding up to 128 I/O channels. It can flexibly adjust the configuration according to the scale of industrial projects and meet the changing control needs.
  • Hot-Swap Support for Efficient Maintenance: It supports hot-swap operation of modules. Maintenance personnel can replace faulty I/O modules or communication modules online without shutting down the entire control system. This function greatly shortens the maintenance time and reduces production losses caused by system shutdown.
  • Wide Compatibility for Seamless Integration: It can be perfectly compatible with all Triconex controller series. It can be directly connected to existing Triconex control systems during application without modifying the original system structure or rewriting control programs, which simplifies the system expansion process.
  • Redundant Power Supply for Stable Operation: The built-in redundant power supply module forms a dual-insurance power supply mechanism. Even if one power supply module is damaged due to voltage fluctuation or component aging, the other power supply can immediately switch to work, ensuring the stable power supply of the chassis and internal modules.
• Application Scenarios
  • Oil and Gas Industry: It is widely used in offshore drilling platforms, onshore oil fields and natural gas processing plants. It expands the I/O capacity of the control system to connect a large number of sensors and actuators for monitoring drilling speed, pipeline pressure and gas concentration. It can trigger emergency shutdown procedures in time when dangerous conditions are detected to avoid leakage and explosion accidents.
  • Power Generation Industry: It is deployed in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants and hydropower stations. It is connected to the monitoring equipment of boilers, steam turbines and generators through extended I/O channels. It monitors parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow in real time, and transmits data to the main control system to ensure the stable operation of generator sets and prevent catastrophic failures.
  • Petrochemical and Chemical Industry: It is installed in refineries and chemical production workshops. It matches various process control equipment to expand the system’s ability to access mixing tanks, reaction kettles and pipeline sensors. It monitors chemical reaction processes and material conveying status in real time to avoid dangerous reactions caused by parameter deviations.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: It is applied to the automatic control system of pharmaceutical production lines. It expands I/O channels to connect equipment such as material proportioning sensors and filling actuators. It ensures the accuracy of raw material proportioning and the stability of the production process, and meets the strict safety and quality standards of the pharmaceutical industry.
  • Transportation and Rail Transit Field: It is used in the safety monitoring system of rail transit and airport infrastructure. It expands the I/O interface to connect signal lights, track speed sensors and emergency control devices. It monitors the operation status of key equipment in real time to ensure the safety of transportation processes and the stability of infrastructure operation.
