TRICONEX 3614E – Supervised Digital Output Assembly | Tricon TMR Safety Platform
For the process control engineer who cannot afford a single point of failure, the TRICONEX 3614E Supervised Digital Output (DO) Assembly is the field-proven answer. Engineered as a core I/O module within Schneider Electric’s Tricon Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) safety architecture, the 3614E delivers deterministic, fault-tolerant digital output control across the most demanding industrial environments — from offshore oil & gas platforms to onshore petrochemical complexes.
Product Positioning: The 3614E is a supervised DO assembly designed for SIL 2/SIL 3 certified safety instrumented systems (SIS). Its supervised output architecture continuously monitors field wiring integrity, detecting open-circuit and short-circuit faults before they can compromise process safety. Procurement engineers specify the 3614E when system uptime, regulatory compliance, and personnel safety are non-negotiable.

Engineering Advantages
- Supervised Wiring Diagnostics: Continuous field-side monitoring eliminates hidden failures — critical for proof-test interval compliance under IEC 61511.
- TMR Fault Tolerance: Three independent processing legs with 2oo3 voting ensure no single module failure causes a spurious trip or loss of safety function.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Modules can be replaced under power without process interruption, maximising plant availability.
- Deterministic Response: Fixed scan-cycle architecture guarantees predictable response times for time-critical safety functions.
- Long Service Life: Tricon platform components are supported with long-term spare parts availability — a key consideration for 20+ year plant lifecycles.
- Reduced Proof-Test Burden: Continuous self-diagnostics lower the required manual proof-test frequency, reducing maintenance cost and operational risk.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the Tricon TMR chassis, the 3614E occupies an I/O slot and interfaces directly with the main processor modules (MPs) via the redundant backplane bus. Each of the three TMR legs independently drives its corresponding output channel set. The 2-out-of-3 voting logic at the output stage ensures that a single leg failure neither causes a spurious shutdown nor masks a genuine process hazard. Field wiring connects via the associated terminal panel (TP), with supervision circuitry continuously reporting wiring health back to the Tricon controller for diagnostic logging in TriStation 1131 or equivalent engineering workstation software.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
Konmask.com sources TRICONEX 3614E modules through established industrial automation supply channels. Every unit offered undergoes the following pre-shipment process:

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 3614E compatible with both Tricon v9 and v10/v11 chassis?
A: The 3614E is designed for the Tricon platform. Compatibility with specific chassis revisions should be confirmed against the Schneider Electric Tricon compatibility matrix or by contacting our technical team.
Q: Can the 3614E be used in a non-TMR (simplex) configuration?
A: No. The 3614E is exclusively designed for the Tricon TMR architecture and requires three modules operating in parallel within a Tricon chassis.
Q: What is the typical lead time for a 3614E?
A: Subject to current stock levels. Contact us for real-time availability. Expedited shipping options are available for critical shutdowns.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All modules are supplied with a standard warranty covering manufacturing defects. Extended warranty and exchange programmes are available — contact us for details.
Q: Can you supply the associated terminal panel (TP) for the 3614E?
A: Yes. We can source compatible Tricon terminal panels and field wiring accessories. Include your full BOM in your RFQ for a consolidated quotation.
