TRICONEX 3674 is a 24VDC dual redundant digital output module (DDO) dedicated to the Tricon Safety Instrumented System (SIS). As a core I/O component of the Triconex Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) safety control system, it is specifically designed for de-energize-to-trip safety interlocking scenarios.
This module provides 32 channels of common-ground 24VDC drive outputs, featuring comprehensive online diagnostics, load/fuse alarms, and fail-safe characteristics. It complies with the application requirements of SIL 3 safety integrity level, and is widely used in critical safety interlock loops in oil & gas, refining, nuclear power, chemical and other industries, to drive on-site equipment such as solenoid valves, relays, indicator lights and actuators.
Core Positioning & Design Architecture
- Module Type: Dual Digital Output (DDO), recommended for de-energize-to-trip control logic
- Architecture Feature: Adopts 2-out-of-3 voting mechanism to balance safety integrity and availability; single-channel failure does not affect output execution
- Electrical Characteristic: Optocoupler isolation provides electrical isolation between field devices and control system, delivering strong anti-interference capability
- Protection Mechanism: Built-in self-protection requiring no external fuses; supports online hot-swapping and hot-spare operation
- Mechanical Design: Slot mechanical keying to prevent incorrect insertion; used with an External Terminal Panel (ETP), allowing module replacement without disturbing field wiring

Functions & Safety Characteristics
Voting & Fail-Safe
Performs 2-out-of-3 voting output to ensure no single fault causes spurious operation. In the event of a stuck-on fault, the 3674 defaults to forcing the faulty channel to a de-energized state, strictly complying with de-energize-to-trip safety logic.
Comprehensive Online Diagnostics
Monitors each output channel status, loop integrity and load presence in real time. Voltage readback verifies consistency between command status and field voltage; anomalies trigger LOAD/FUSE alarms and system fault signals.
Hot-Swappable & Online Maintenance
Supports hot insertion/removal; faulty modules can be replaced online without interrupting system operation or safety outputs. Hot-spare modules automatically synchronize status for bumpless transfer.
Electrical Isolation & Anti-Interference
Optocoupler isolation between channels withstands industrial ESD and electromagnetic interference, complying with EMC standards including IEC 61000‑4‑2/‑3/‑4/‑5/‑6.
Fault Coverage Capability
Detects and responds to load open circuit/missing load, loss of power, output stuck-on, drive circuit faults, field short circuits, etc., meeting high diagnostic coverage requirements for SIS loops.
Typical Application Scenarios
- Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems: actuation of shutdown valves and emergency isolation valves
- Burner Management Systems (BMS): interlocks for fuel valves, igniters and flame detectors
- Fire & Gas (F&G) systems: fire pumps, sprinklers, audible and visual alarm interlocks
- Compressor / turbine safety: quick-closing valves, bypass valves, shutdown interlocks
- Safety outputs for nuclear 1E class, ATEX Zone 2, and Class I Division 2 hazardous locations
Differences from Same-Series Modules
- 3664: Also 32-point 24VDC dual output; maintains command state during stuck-on faults, suitable for non-de-energize-to-trip applications
- 3674: Forces faulty channel to de-energized state on stuck faults, optimized specifically for de-energize-to-trip safety loops with higher safety priority
- 3624/3625: Supervised DO with more comprehensive field loop diagnostics, ideal for extremely critical points
System Compatibility & Installation
- Compatibility: Supports Tricon controllers v9.6 and above
- Slotting: Fits Tricon standard main/expansion racks with mechanical keying to prevent incorrect insertion
- Wiring: Must be used with an External Terminal Panel (ETP); field power connects to the terminal panel, with no direct field wiring to the module
