TRICONEX 2101 analog input module
The TRICONEX 2101 is an analog input module designed for early-generation Triconex safety and process control systems. Its core function is to accurately collect continuous analog signals from field sensors (such as temperature, pressure, flow, and level transmitters), convert them into standardized digital data, and transmit them to Triconex controllers for safety logic calculation and process parameter monitoring. It is a key "analog signal acquisition component" in industrial scenarios requiring high precision and reliability. Below is its comprehensive detailed information:
The TRICONEX 2101 specializes in acquiring continuous analog signals (e.g., 4–20mA current signals, 0–5V voltage signals) from industrial field transmitters. It plays a critical role in:
- Safety-critical monitoring: Collecting analog data related to equipment and process safety, such as reactor pressure (transmitted via 4–20mA), turbine bearing temperature, and pipeline flow, to provide real-time data support for the controller to trigger emergency shutdown (ESD) or interlock protection.
- Routine process control: Acquiring process parameters like tank liquid level, material concentration, and heat exchanger outlet temperature, enabling the controller to adjust operating variables (e.g., valve opening, pump speed) and maintain stable production.
- Input Signal Type: Supports standard industrial analog signals (configurable via hardware jumpers or software):
- Current input: 4–20mA DC (two-wire/three-wire transmitter compatible)
- Voltage input: 0–5V DC, 1–5V DC (optional, based on model variant)
- Input Channel Count: 8 independent analog input channels (isolated in groups of 4 channels to reduce cross-interference)
- Measurement Accuracy:
- Current input: ±0.1% of full scale (FS)
- Voltage input: ±0.15% of full scale (FS) (ensures high-precision signal conversion for critical parameter monitoring)
- Resolution: 12-bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) (balances precision and response speed for general industrial needs)
- Input Impedance:
- Current input: <100Ω (avoids affecting transmitter output stability)
- Voltage input: >100kΩ (minimizes signal attenuation during transmission)
- Power Supply: 24V DC (nominal), supports 18–32V DC wide voltage range (adapts to industrial power fluctuations)
- Power Consumption: <8W (typical operating condition, excluding external sensor power)
