Description
The Triconex DO2401 is a high-reliability digital output module designed for safety-critical industrial control systems. Engineered to deliver precise and fail-safe switching capabilities, this module is part of Triconex’s robust Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) platform, ensuring continuous operation even in the presence of hardware faults. The DO2401 is ideal for applications requiring deterministic control of actuators, valves, motors, and other discrete devices in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

Triconex DO2401
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Ensures fault tolerance by voting outputs across three independent channels, eliminating single points of failure.
- Fail-Safe Operation: Channels default to a safe state (e.g., de-energized) in case of module or power faults, aligning with safety integrity level requirements.
- Hot-Swappable Design: Allows maintenance or replacement without powering down the system, minimizing downtime in live industrial environments.
- Comprehensive Diagnostics: Built-in self-test (BIST) features monitor channel health, wiring integrity, and load conditions in real time.
- Flexible Configuration: Supports both sink (current sinking) and source (current sourcing) output modes, adapting to diverse field device requirements.
- EMC/EMI Immunity: Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments with high noise and interference.
The DO2401 is widely used in scenarios requiring reliable discrete control, including:
- Emergency shutdown (ESD) systems
- Burner management systems (BMS)
- Valve and motor control in process automation
- Safety instrumented systems (SIS)
- Industrial machinery and robotics
Example Use Case: In a chemical plant’s ESD system, the DO2401 controls shutdown valves by receiving trip signals from the Triconex controller. Its TMR architecture ensures that even if one channel fails, the redundant channels maintain safe operation, preventing uncontrolled releases and ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Wiring: Connect field devices using shielded cables to minimize interference. Termination options include screw terminals or quick-connect interfaces.
- Software Setup: Configure channels via Triconex TriStation™ software to define output mode (sink/source), fail-safe state, and diagnostic thresholds.
- Redundancy Activation: Enable TMR voting logic in the controller to ensure consistent output across all three module channels.

Triconex DO2401
- Routine Checks: Monitor diagnostic status in TriStation™ for channel faults, overloads, or open circuits.
- Spare Parts Management: Stock replacement modules for quick swap-out during maintenance or failures.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically update firmware to leverage performance improvements and compatibility with newer system versions.
- Functional Safety: Certified to SIL 3 (IEC 61508 Part 2:2010, IEC 61511-1:2016) for use in safety-critical applications.
- Electrical Standards: Meets IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) for hardware testing and ISO 13849-1 for machine safety.
- Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliant, suitable for global industrial deployments.
- Controllers: Works with Triconex Tricon EX, Tricon TSA, and older Tricon models (verify backplane compatibility).
- System Integration: Part of a fully redundant ecosystem, including power supplies, communication modules, and controllers.
