FAQ for TRICONEX 3008
Q1: What is the core architecture of the 3008 processor?
A1: It adopts triple modular redundant TMR architecture. Three independent processing channels perform the same logic calculation and implement fault voting to avoid single point failure.
Q2: Can the 3008 be mixed with old-generation Tricon processor modules in one rack?
A2: No, the 3008 is designed for Tricon v9 chassis. It cannot work together with earlier Tricon 3006 or 3002 series processors.
Q3: Does the 3008 support online logic modification without shutdown?
A3: It supports online download of logic modifications under pre-approved safety procedures, and the safety function remains active during downloading.
