Guidelines
This section discusses issues to consider when installing and configuring your
Trident controller.
!
WARNING
During installation of a Trident controller, take special care with all power sources
to minimize the hazard of electrical shock.
When unpacking the Trident controller, check the items against the shipping list to
verify that everything you ordered is included. Keep the boxes and packing
materials in case you need to return items to Triconex.
Configuring Controller Modules
A controller with a Model 3101 MP can include the following components:
• 1 Main Processor (MP) Baseplate assembly with 3 MP Modules
• 1 Communication Baseplate with up to 2 Communication Modules
• Up to 14 baseplates with up to 2 I/O modules per baseplate or up to 10
baseplates if using AO or PI Modules.
• Up to 15 Interconnect Assemblies
•I⁄O bus extender kits for each I⁄O column
• End Caps (top and bottom) for each column
System Configuration
When planning your system, the maximum number of I⁄O modules allowed
depends on whether the system includes AO or PI Modules. If the system does not
include AO or PI Modules, the maximum allowed I⁄O modules is 14.
If the system includes AO or PI Modules, the following applies:
• Up to 1 PI Module per system
• Up to 2 AO Modules per system
• Up to 10 total I⁄O modules per system
Hot-spare modules are not counted as part of the total.
