Power Modules
Each Tricon chassis is equipped with two Power Modules—either one is fully capable of running the Tricon at full load and rated temperature. Each Power Module can be replaced online.
The Power Modules, located on the left side of the chassis, convert line power to DC power appropriate for all Tricon modules. Terminal strips for system grounding, incoming power and hardwired alarms are located on the lower left corner of the backplane. Incoming power should be rated for a minimum
of 240 watts per power supply.
The Power Module alarm contacts are actuated when:
• A module is missing from the system
• The hardware configuration conflicts with the control program’s logical configuration
• A module fails
• A Main Processor detects a system fault
• Primary power to a Power Modulefails
• A Power Module has a “Low Battery” or “Over Temperature” warning
WARNING: Do not use the Model 8312 Power Module in Tricon systems that are located in hazardous locations and must meet ATEX requirements. If you have 230 V line voltage and your system must meet ATEX requirements, use the Model 8311 24 VDC Power Module along with the ATEX-certified 24 VDC power supply from Phoenix Contact (part number: QUINT-PS-100-240AC/24DC/10/EX).
