Triconex 3636R / 3636T Relay Output Module

Overview

The Triconex 3636R and 3636T Relay Output (RO) Modules are non-triplicated modules designed for interfacing with non-critical points where “high-side” solid-state output switches are not compatible, such as with annunciator panels. The modules receive output signals from the Main Processors, process the data using a voting mechanism, and drive 32 individual relays accordingly. The modules feature diagnostic capabilities, loopback circuits, and can support hot-spare configurations for enhanced reliability.

Key Features

Feature	Description
Model Numbers	3636R, 3636T
Function	Relay Output (RO) Module
Relay Type	Normally Open (NO) contacts
Relay Channels	3 channels (with voting for 32 individual relays)
Diagnostic Capability	Loopback circuit to verify each relay’s operation
Fault Indicator	Activates if any diagnostic fails, triggering chassis alarm
External Termination Panel	Required for interfacing with Tricon backplane
Hot-Spare Modules	Supported for enhanced reliability
Use Case	Non-critical points like interfacing with annunciator panels

Specifications

Relay Configuration: 32 individual relays with voting logic to drive the outputs
Diagnostics: The loopback circuit verifies relay function independently of the load
Fault Handling: Faults activate the Fault Indicator, which triggers the Chassis Alarm
External Termination Panel (ETP): Required for connecting to the Tricon backplane
Compatibility: Designed for use in environments where high-side solid-state switches are not suitable
