TRICONEX 3000510-180 Termination Board | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The TRICONEX 3000510-180 is a Termination Board designed for use within Schneider Electric’s Triconex Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) Safety Instrumented System (SIS). It serves as the field-wiring interface between process I/O signals and the Triconex main chassis, enabling clean, organized, and reliable signal termination in safety-critical control environments.
Selection Background
When sourcing a replacement for the TRICONEX 3000510-180, engineers and procurement teams often search for equivalent termination boards that maintain signal integrity, safety ratings, and mechanical compatibility. Whether you are performing a like-for-like swap, a system upgrade, or evaluating cross-brand substitutes, understanding the key parameters and compatibility constraints is essential before making a selection decision. This guide captures the most common replacement, equivalent, and substitute queries to help you identify the right solution quickly.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
1. Direct Drop-in Replacements
The following are genuine TRICONEX part numbers that serve as direct, pin-compatible replacements for the 3000510-180 in the same chassis slot:
- TRICONEX 3000510-180 (same part, new/refurbished stock) — identical form, fit, and function; no configuration change required.
- Consult your Triconex system BOM for revision-level variants (e.g., -180 Rev B/C) — minor PCB revisions are typically backward-compatible.
2. Functional Equivalents (Same Platform)
Within the Triconex ecosystem, other termination boards may provide equivalent functionality depending on your I/O module type:
- TRICONEX 3000510-160 — similar termination board for adjacent I/O module variants; verify channel count and signal type before substitution.
- TRICONEX 3000510-200 — extended-channel variant; functionally equivalent for expanded I/O configurations.
- Prerequisite: Confirm the mating I/O module part number and chassis slot type before ordering any functional equivalent.
3. Cross-Brand Alternatives
For system migrations or multi-vendor environments, the following platforms offer comparable TMR termination architectures:
- Honeywell Safety Manager SC — termination assemblies for SIL 3 I/O; requires full engineering review for signal mapping.
- Rockwell Automation GuardLogix / AADvance — safety I/O termination modules; cross-brand substitution requires re-engineering of field wiring and safety validation.
- Important: Cross-brand alternatives are not drop-in substitutes. A formal MOC (Management of Change) process and SIL re-verification are mandatory.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Precision-Engineered Fit: The 3000510-180 is manufactured to exact Triconex backplane tolerances — no mechanical adaptation required.
- SIL 2/3 Certification Preserved: Using the original part maintains your system’s functional safety certification without re-validation.
- Full System Compatibility: Guaranteed compatibility with all Triconex Tricon and Trident chassis revisions without firmware or configuration changes.
- OEM Technical Support: Schneider Electric / Triconex provides full lifecycle support, including firmware updates and field service for original parts.
- Warranty Coverage: Original parts supplied through authorized channels carry manufacturer or Konmask quality warranty.
- Audit & Compliance Ready: Original part numbers simplify HAZOP, SIL assessment, and regulatory audit documentation.
Typical Applications
- Oil & Gas: Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems on offshore platforms and onshore processing facilities.
- Petrochemical: Burner Management Systems (BMS) and high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS).
- Power Generation: Turbine protection and reactor safety interlock systems.
- Chemical Processing: Reactor runaway prevention and toxic release mitigation SIS.
- LNG / Pipeline: Compressor station safety and pipeline isolation valve control.
- Refining: Fired heater safety and distillation column protection systems.
System Compatibility
The TRICONEX 3000510-180 is designed to operate within the following Triconex system components:
- Tricon CX / v10 / v11 Chassis — primary TMR safety controller platform
- Triconex I/O Modules (3000-series) — analog input, digital input/output modules requiring field termination
- Triconex Main Processor Module (MP) — system controller communicating via backplane
- Triconex Communication Modules (TCM) — for DCS/SCADA integration via Modbus, OPC, or Tristation protocol
- Tristation 1131 Engineering Workstation — programming and configuration software
- Triconex Power Supply Modules (3000-series) — redundant power distribution within chassis
Selection Guide
Before ordering, confirm the following three points to ensure the correct replacement or equivalent is selected:
- What is the exact mating I/O module part number? The termination board must match the specific I/O module it connects to. Provide your I/O module P/N to Konmask for cross-reference verification.
- What chassis slot and revision is in use? Triconex chassis revisions may affect backplane connector compatibility. Share your chassis model and revision with our team.
- Is a direct replacement or functional equivalent acceptable? If the original 3000510-180 is unavailable, Konmask can recommend a validated functional equivalent — contact us before substituting to avoid safety compliance issues.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q1: Can I use a TRICONEX 3000510-160 as a replacement for the 3000510-180?
A: The 3000510-160 and 3000510-180 are different termination board variants within the same 3000510 series. They may be functionally equivalent for certain I/O module types, but the suffix (-160 vs -180) typically denotes a different channel configuration or connector layout. Always verify the mating I/O module P/N before substituting. Contact Konmask for a compatibility check.
Q2: Is the TRICONEX 3000510-180 compatible with both Tricon and Trident systems?
A: The 3000510-180 is primarily designed for the Tricon TMR platform. Compatibility with Trident systems depends on the specific chassis and I/O module configuration. Konmask recommends providing your full system BOM for a verified compatibility assessment before ordering.
Q3: Are there cross-brand substitutes or equivalents for the 3000510-180 from other SIS vendors?
A: No direct drop-in cross-brand substitute exists for the 3000510-180 due to its proprietary backplane interface. Cross-brand alternatives (e.g., Honeywell, Rockwell) require full system re-engineering and SIL re-validation. For like-for-like replacement, sourcing the original TRICONEX part through Konmask is the safest and most compliant approach.
