Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original DO3401 is unavailable or end-of-life, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your system revision and chassis compatibility. Always validate with your system integrator before substitution.
| Model | Brand | Type | Compatibility Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DO3401E | TRICONEX | Enhanced DO | Direct upgrade; same form factor, improved diagnostics |
| DO3401S | TRICONEX | Standard DO | Functionally equivalent; verify firmware revision |
| DO3000 | TRICONEX | Digital Output | Earlier generation; check chassis slot compatibility |
| DO3481 | TRICONEX | Digital Output | Higher channel density variant; same backplane interface |
| DO3601 | TRICONEX | Digital Output | 120VAC output variant; not a direct replacement for 24VDC applications |
Important: Triconex TMR systems require matched module revisions for proper fault-tolerant operation. Contact Konmask for revision-matched sourcing.
Why Choose the Original Model
- SIL 3 Certified Safety: The DO3401 is certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3, making it suitable for the highest-integrity safety instrumented functions (SIF).
- TMR Architecture: Triple redundancy ensures continued operation even with a single module failure, eliminating unplanned shutdowns.
- Proven Field Record: Widely deployed in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation plants globally for over two decades.
- Seamless Integration: Plug-and-play replacement within existing Triconex chassis without system reconfiguration.
- Manufacturer Support: Schneider Electric (Triconex) provides long-term firmware and diagnostic support for the DO3401 series.
Typical Applications
- Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) in oil & gas upstream and downstream facilities
- Burner Management Systems (BMS) for boilers and fired heaters
- High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS)
- Turbine and compressor control and protection
- Chemical reactor safety interlocks
- Nuclear auxiliary system control (where applicable)
- Offshore platform safety and process control
System Compatibility
The TRICONEX DO3401 is compatible with the following Triconex system platforms:
- Tricon CX (v10 and above): Full compatibility; recommended platform for new installations
- Tricon v9 Series: Compatible with appropriate chassis and power supply configuration
- Tricon v8 Series: Verify module revision and firmware before installation
- Trident: Not compatible — Trident uses a different module form factor
- TriStation 1131 Software: Fully supported for configuration and diagnostics
Selection Guide
Use the following decision criteria to determine whether the DO3401 is the right module for your application:
- Output voltage requirement: If your field devices require 24VDC discrete signals → DO3401 is appropriate. For 120VAC outputs, consider DO3601.
- Safety Integrity Level: If SIL 2 or SIL 3 is required per your SIL determination study → DO3401 meets this requirement.
- Channel count: If 32 output channels per module are sufficient → DO3401. For higher density, evaluate DO3481.
- System generation: Confirm your Tricon chassis generation (v8/v9/CX) before ordering to ensure module revision compatibility.
- Redundancy requirement: For TMR (1oo2D voting) output architectures → DO3401 is the standard choice.
- Budget vs. new vs. refurbished: Konmask supplies both new OEM stock and certified refurbished DO3401 units with full test reports.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a DO3401 with a DO3401E without reconfiguring my Tricon system?
A: In most cases, yes. The DO3401E is a form-fit-function replacement. However, a firmware update via TriStation 1131 may be required. Consult your system integrator.
Q: Is the DO3401 still in production?
A: Schneider Electric (Triconex) has transitioned some legacy modules to end-of-life status. Konmask maintains stock of both new and certified refurbished units to support ongoing maintenance needs.
Q: What is the difference between DO3401 and DO3481?
A: The DO3481 offers a higher channel density. Both use the same 24VDC output technology and TMR architecture. Selection depends on your I/O count requirements.
Q: Can I use a third-party equivalent module in my Triconex TMR system?
A: Triconex TMR systems are proprietary and require OEM-certified modules. Third-party substitutes are not supported and may void SIL certification. Only use Triconex-branded modules.
Q: Do you provide test reports with refurbished units?
A: Yes. All refurbished DO3401 modules from Konmask include a functional test report and inspection certificate.
