Redundant & Reliable Power Design
Each Tricon chassis includes two power modules, with either module fully capable of running the system at full load and rated temperature for maximum reliability.
Hot-Swappable Operation
Power modules are conveniently located on the left side of the chassis and can be replaced while the system remains online, ensuring minimal operational downtime.
Power Conversion & Wiring
Converts line AC power to DC suitable for all Tricon modules. Terminal strips for system grounding, incoming power, and hard-wired alarms are located on the lower-left backplane. Recommended rating: ≥ 240 watts per module.
Smart Alarms & System Monitoring
Power module alarms are triggered in the following conditions:
- Module missing from the system
- Hardware configuration conflicts with control program
- Module failure detected
- Main processor identifies system fault
- Primary power failure to a module
- Low battery or over-temperature warnings
Using both modules ensures redundancy, while the comprehensive alarm system helps prevent unexpected failures and maintains safe Tricon system operation.
