Triconex 8310 Power Supply Module

Triconex 8310 Power Supply Module

The Triconex 8310, also cataloged as the 8310 power supply module, serves as a 175 W high‑density redundant supply for Tricon control system main, expansion, and remote expansion chassis.

Hardware Specifications

Triple Modular Redundancy and Fail‑Safe Execution

Although the 8310 is a power supply, it integrates into Tricon systems built on TMR 2oo3 architecture. Redundant supply configurations ensure uninterrupted operation under single‑point failure. Galvanic isolation between input and output stages prevents propagation of electrical faults. Fail‑safe state execution is supported through alarm contact signaling, ensuring predictable shutdown or switchover under abnormal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 8310 be hot‑swapped during operation? A: Yes, the module supports online hot‑swap without interrupting chassis operation.

Q: What redundancy options are available? A: Each chassis can be fitted with dual 8310 modules for full redundancy and automatic failover.

Q: How is over‑temperature detected? A: An internal sensor triggers a TEMP LED and alarm contact when module temperature exceeds 83 deg C.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Install the module in designated Tricon chassis slots with secure retention.
• Route AC and DC input wiring separately to minimize EMI.
• Ensure chassis ground bonding for shield and housing connections.
• Verify fuse rating and input voltage compatibility before energizing.
• Observe LED indicators during commissioning to confirm operational status.
