Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) – The 3636R operates within Tricon’s 2-out-of-3 voting architecture, eliminating single points of failure and ensuring continuous safe operation even during module faults.
- Hot-Swap Capability – Modules can be replaced under power without process interruption, minimizing planned and unplanned downtime in 24/7 operations.
- Proven SIL 3 Pedigree – Certified for use in Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) up to SIL 3 per IEC 61511, making it the preferred choice for high-consequence process loops.
- Dry Contact Relay Outputs – Voltage-free contacts provide universal compatibility with field devices including solenoid valves, motor starters, and alarm annunciators across varying supply voltages.
- Comprehensive Online Diagnostics – Continuous self-test routines detect latent faults and report status to the Tricon Main Processor, supporting proof-test interval optimization.
- Long Field Service Life – Designed for 20+ year operational lifecycles typical of process industry infrastructure, with Schneider Electric’s global spare parts support.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the TRICONEX 3636R compatible with both Tricon v9 and v10 chassis?
A: Yes. The 3636R is backward and forward compatible across Tricon v9.x and v10.x chassis generations. Always confirm the chassis backplane revision with your site documentation.
Q: Can the 3636R be used in SIL 3 Safety Instrumented Functions?
A: Yes, when installed in a properly configured Tricon TMR system and validated per IEC 61511 requirements, the 3636R supports SIL 3 SIF design. Consult the Tricon Safety Manual for PFD/PFH data.
Q: What is the relay contact rating for inductive loads such as solenoid valves?
A: The dry contacts are rated 2A @ 30 VDC resistive. For inductive loads (solenoid valves, motor starters), de-rating applies. Refer to the TRICONEX 3636R Hardware Reference Manual for derating curves and recommended suppression circuits.
Q: Can this module be replaced online without a system shutdown?
A: Yes. The Tricon architecture supports online module replacement (hot-swap) without interrupting the safety function, provided the replacement procedure in the Tricon Installation & Maintenance Guide is followed.
Q: Do you supply the Field Terminal Assembly (FTA) for the 3636R?
A: Yes. Konmask.com can supply compatible FTAs and marshalling panels. Contact us with your wiring requirements for a matched BOM quotation.
