Invensys Triconex 2700 / 2700-2 Control Module — Triple Modular Redundant Safety Controller | Tricon TMR Platform
Engineering Background
The Triconex Tricon platform is the industry benchmark for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in high-hazard process industries. Built on Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture, every critical function is executed simultaneously across three independent processing paths, with continuous voting logic ensuring fault tolerance without process interruption. The 2700 / 2700-2 Control Module is the central processing unit of the Tricon chassis, orchestrating I/O communication, safety logic execution, and inter-module diagnostics.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and reliability teams sourcing certified replacement or expansion modules for existing Tricon SIS installations. Konmask.com supplies genuine, traceable Triconex hardware with documented provenance — eliminating the risk of counterfeit components in safety-critical loops.

- Deterministic Execution: Fixed-cycle safety logic guarantees response time compliance for SIL 3 loops
- TriStation 1131 Integration: IEC 61131-3 compliant programming; supports FBD, LD, ST, IL, SFC
- Long Field Life: Designed for 20+ year operational life in continuous-duty industrial environments
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 2700 / 2700-2 Control Module occupies the main controller slot of the Tricon chassis. On each scan cycle:
- All three processor legs independently read I/O data from the Tribus backplane
- Each leg executes the safety application logic in parallel
- Output voting logic compares all three results — 2-out-of-3 agreement required to drive any output
- Diagnostic results are logged to the TriStation communication port for SCADA/DCS integration
- Any leg discrepancy triggers an alarm without interrupting the safe output state
This architecture ensures that neither a single hardware failure nor a single software error can cause an unsafe output condition.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 2700-2 a direct replacement for the 2700?
A: Yes. The 2700-2 is the revised hardware revision of the 2700 with identical functional pinout and firmware compatibility. Both are interchangeable within the same Tricon chassis generation.
Q: Which Tricon chassis generations are compatible?
A: The 2700 / 2700-2 is compatible with Tricon v9 and v10 chassis families. Confirm your chassis model number before ordering if mixing hardware revisions.
Q: Can this module be used in a Trident or Tri-GP system?
A: No. The 2700 / 2700-2 is specific to the Tricon platform. Trident and Tri-GP use different controller architectures and module form factors.
Q: What firmware version is pre-loaded?
A: Firmware version is confirmed and documented at time of shipment. Contact us to specify a required firmware version if your site has a locked baseline.
Q: Do you provide a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) report?
A: A functional test report is included as standard. Full FAT documentation to customer-specific test procedures is available as a paid service — contact us for scope and pricing.
