TRICONEX 3008N Network communication module

1. As a Network Communication Module (NCM)

The TRICONEX 3008 network communication module supports Ethernet, enhancing compatibility with Invensys 3008 control cards. Its key capabilities include:

Connecting to Modbus devices and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
Establishing connections with external hosts via Peer-to-Peer communication or 802.3 networks, enabling stable data transmission between the TRICON system and external industrial control platforms.

2. As a Main Processor Module (MP 3008)

If configured as the MP 3008 main processor module, its technical specifications and features are as follows:

Processor & Performance

Processor: Motorola MPC860, 32-bit, operating at 50 MHz—delivering sufficient computing power for executing complex control logic and real-time data processing.

Memory Configuration

DRAM: 16 MB (no backup battery), used for storing temporary data (e.g., real-time I/O data) and program instructions during system operation.
SRAM: 32 KB (with backup battery), designed to protect critical data (e.g., user program fragments, retainable memory contacts) and prevent data loss in case of external power failure (data retention time: at least 6 months).
Flash PROM: 6 MB, used for storing firmware (system-level operating software) and application programs (user-defined control logic), ensuring non-volatile storage of core software.
