Key Features
1. Dual Ethernet Communication

The 4351B provides two copper Ethernet ports for communication with compatible industrial networks and host systems. These interfaces support data exchange between Tricon controllers, engineering workstations, and supervisory systems.

2. Four Serial Communication Ports

Four serial ports support compatible RS-232/RS-485 communication connections. Each port can be configured for supported applications such as Modbus communication, subject to the selected port configuration and system requirements.

3. Multiple Industrial Communication Protocols

The module supports several industrial communication protocols, including:

  • Modbus TCP/IP
  • Modbus serial communication
  • TriStation
  • TCP/IP
  • SNTP time synchronization
  • TSAA
  • Peer-to-Peer communication over UDP/IP
  • Trimble GPS interface support
4. Electrical Isolation

The module provides specified 500 VDC port isolation to help separate communication interfaces electrically and reduce the impact of certain electrical disturbances on connected equipment.

5. Online Maintenance Support

A faulty Tricon Communication Module can be replaced while the controller remains online when the applicable system procedures and operating conditions permit. However, the TCM does not provide a hot-spare feature, so replacement should follow the approved maintenance procedure.

6. Diagnostic Status Indicators

Front-panel indicators provide status information for module operation and communication activity. These indicators help maintenance personnel identify communication problems and investigate module faults during troubleshooting.

Applications

The Triconex 4351B is suitable for communication tasks in industrial environments where compatible Tricon safety controllers exchange information with other control and monitoring systems.

Typical application areas include:

  • Oil and gas processing facilities
  • Petrochemical and chemical plants
  • Power generation
  • Industrial process automation
  • Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
  • Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
  • PLC and supervisory system integration
  • Industrial monitoring and data acquisition
