TRICONEX 8120E Redundant Control System Frame – Technical Datasheet
Overview
The TRICONEX 8120E is a high-reliability redundant control system frame designed for critical industrial applications requiring fault tolerance and uninterrupted operation. Built on a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture, it integrates three isolated control channels with independent diagnostic circuits, ensuring no single-point failure compromises system integrity.
