Triconex 3008 MP Module | TMR Controller Processor

Product Overview

The Triconex 3008 Main Processor Module serves as the core processing unit for Tricon v9.6 and later safety systems. This critical component executes user-written control programs with triple modular redundancy. Three 3008 modules must install in every main chassis to ensure proper system operation and fault tolerance.
