Features:
- Separate SX application and IOX processors execute control logic and I/O processing in the Trident architecture.
- The guide specifies 25 Mbps CRC-protected TriBus plus Ethernet, Modbus and diagnostic communication paths.
- Replacement requires the exact Trident baseplate, three-channel processor set, application backup and approved system version.
Triconex MP3101 is the Model 3101 Main Processor Module for a Trident version 1.2 safety-control system. The guide specifies a 50 MHz 32-bit Motorola MPC860 application processor with 6 MB flash PROM, 16 MB DRAM and 8 KB NVRAM, plus a separate MPC860 I/O processor with 16 MB DRAM and 128 KB shared memory. Communications include 25 Mbps CRC-protected TriBus, a 10BaseT TriStation Ethernet port, an RS-232/485 Modbus port and RS-485 2 Mbps HDLC buses. Logic power is 24 VDC nominal with 8 W maximum consumption. The processor is selected only as part of the documented Trident baseplate, system version and triplicated configuration.
Match the complete MP3101 hardware and baseplate, all three processor channels, firmware/application, addresses, communication settings and safety validation plan before replacement. The MP3101 guide specifies a 50 MHz 32-bit MPC860 SX processor with 6 MB flash, 16 MB DRAM and 8 KB NVRAM, plus a separate 50 MHz MPC860 IOX processor with 16 MB DRAM and 128 KB shared memory. Logic power is 24 VDC nominal and 8 W maximum. Interfaces include 25 Mbps TriBus, 10BaseT TriStation Ethernet, RS-232/485 Modbus, RS-485 2 Mbps HDLC communication and I/O buses, and isolated service/debug connections on the baseplate.
The Triconex MP3101 Main Processor Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Triconex MP3101 documentation and reference links.
Important Notice: Confirm the complete catalog identity, hardware revision, receiving-system configuration and required document revision before replacement.
Match the Model 3101 hardware, triplicated processor set, firmware, application image and retained-variable requirements before replacement.
Verify the 25 Mbps TriBus and 2 Mbps HDLC I/O paths, baseplate address, channel health and diagnostic communication.
Preserve Ethernet, Modbus, serial and debug-port configuration; confirm cable type, address, protocol and isolation from the system drawings.
