Description
The
Triconex 3805H is a high-performance
analog input module designed for industrial control and safety instrumented systems (SIS). As part of Triconex’s Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) platform, it provides reliable and accurate measurement of analog signals from field devices such as transmitters, sensors, and transducers. Engineered for safety-critical applications in industries like oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and power generation, the 3805H ensures continuous operation and fault tolerance in harsh environments.

Triconex 3805H
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR)
- Three independent signal paths for each channel, with built-in voting logic to ensure data integrity. Faults in one channel are masked by the redundant channels, eliminating single points of failure.
- HART® Protocol Support
- Enables bidirectional communication with HART-compatible field devices for configuration, diagnostics, and asset management without disrupting analog signal measurement.
- Fail-Safe and Diagnostics
- Channels can be configured to default to a safe state (e.g., high/low value) in case of faults.
- Comprehensive self-diagnostics (BIST) monitor channel health, wiring faults (open/short circuits), and signal validity in real time.
- Hot-Swappable Design
- Allows module replacement without powering down the system, reducing downtime in live industrial environments.
- High Noise Immunity
- Shielded isolation and EMC/EMI compliance ensure reliable performance in noisy industrial settings.
- Flexible Configuration
- Adjustable input ranges, filtering, and scaling via Triconex TriStation™ software.
The 3805H is ideal for applications requiring precise analog signal acquisition in safety-critical systems:
- Process Control: Monitoring temperature, pressure, flow, and level in chemical/petrochemical plants.
- Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, burner management systems (BMS), and critical alarm monitoring.
- Condition Monitoring: Capturing sensor data for machinery health analysis (e.g., vibration, temperature).
- Industrial Automation: Integration with PLCs and DCS systems for real-time process optimization.
- Wiring
- Connect field devices using shielded twisted-pair cables to minimize interference. Termination options include screw terminals or quick-connect blocks.
- For HART communication, a single pair of wires carries both the analog signal and digital data.
- Software Setup
- Configure channels via Triconex TriStation™ software to define signal type, range, filtering, and HART parameters (e.g., device address, polling rate).
- Enable TMR voting logic in the controller to process data from all three module channels.

Triconex 3805H
- Diagnostics and Monitoring
- Use TriStation™ to monitor channel status, detect faults (e.g., out-of-range signals, wiring issues), and perform periodic calibration checks.
- Firmware Updates
- Regularly update firmware to ensure compatibility with new devices and system enhancements.
- Standards Compliance
- SIL 3 certification (IEC 61508/61511) for use in safety-critical applications.
- RoHS and REACH compliant for environmental sustainability.
- Controllers: Works with Triconex Tricon EX, Tricon TSA, and legacy Tricon systems (verify backplane compatibility).
- Field Devices: Supports HART®-enabled transmitters (e.g., Rosemount, Yokogawa) and standard analog sensors.
- 3805E: Non-HART analog input module (otherwise similar specifications).
- 3815H: High-speed analog input module for fast-changing signals (e.g., turbine speed).
