MP 3101 Overview
The Triconex MP 3101 is a Main Processor Module designed for the Trident v1.2 Controller. It is responsible for executing safety-critical control programs and managing communication within the Triple-Modular Redundant (TMR) safety system.
Trident v1.2 Controller - Main Processor Module
A minimum Trident system has one MP Baseplate housing three MPs. Each MP Module serves as one channel of a Trident system. An MP Module consists of processors that execute the following firmware:
• Application processor and system executive (SX)
• I⁄O processor and input/output executive (IOX)
System Executive
The system executive performs the following functions:
• Control application execution
• TriBus communication and voting
• System diagnostics
• TriStation and Modbus slave communication
Input/Output Executive
The input/output executive performs the following functions:
• I⁄O module ASIC communication
• I⁄O control
• I⁄O diagnostics
Operation
The three MPs communicate with each other using an inter-processor bus called TriBus. TriBus is a high-speed, fault-tolerant communication path between the MPs that is used primarily for voting and diagnostics. The three MPs communicate with I⁄O modules over a TMR HDLC I⁄O bus that operates at 2 megabits per second.
Each MP contains one TriStation 10BaseT Ethernet port and one Modbus RS-232/ 485 serial port.
Each MP also contains redundant system alarm contacts. Connectors for the Ethernet ports, Modbus ports, and alarm contacts are located on the MP Baseplate. The MP Baseplate provides redundant, fused logic power connectors for the MP and I⁄O modules, which are directly connected to the I⁄O column.
