The TRICONEX 3806E is a high performance industrial control module manufactured by Invensys (now part of Schneider Electric).

Product Overview
The TRICONEX 3806E is a powerful industrial control module for a wide range of industrial automation applications. Designed for use in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), the module plays a vital role in the monitoring and control of industrial processes.

Technical Specifications
Input Signals: Depending on the specific model, the 3806E can accept analog input signals such as 4-20mA or 20-320mA current loops for measuring process variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow.
Output Signals: For analog output modules, output signals in the range of 0-10V, 0-20mA, or 0-5V can be provided with an accuracy of ±0.1%.
Number of Channels: Typically has multiple input or output channels, allowing multiple signals to be monitored and controlled at the same time.
Isolation: Provides input/output isolation and channel-to-channel isolation to ensure system safety and stability.
Communication: Can communicate with other components within the Triconex system for system integration and synergy.

Functional Features
Safety and reliability: Designed to meet high standards of safety, such as IEC 62443, and utilizing the Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) principle to ensure continuous operation in the event of a failure.
Programmability: Programming is supported, allowing the user to configure the system according to specific application requirements and logic.
Real-time performance: The ability to respond to input signals at very high speeds enables real-time monitoring and control.
HART Filter: Some models of the 3806E include an integrated SIL 3 quality HART filter that “listens in” on data traffic and allows read-only access to field devices for increased system security.
Digital Input Functions: Multiple digital input signals can be received to meet a variety of input requirements, enabling real-time acquisition and processing of field device status information.
