Product Introduction
Model 3009 Main Processors:Model 3009 has 256 MB DRAM (without battery backup) and 2 MB NVRAM (SRAM with battery backup).A Tricon chassis houses three Main Processor (MP) Modules, each serving one channel (also referred to as a leg) of the controller. Each processor independently communicates with its I/O subsystem and executes the control program. The three MP Modules compare data and the control program at regular intervals. Each Main Processor operates autonomously with no shared clocks, power regulators, or circuitry. Processor specifications are listed in the specifications table for each MP.

Product Details
The latest release of the Tricon Main Processor module (3009) now provides the ability to upgrade from a Tricon 10.3, 10.4, or 10.5 system with 3008 Main Processors to a Tricon 11.2 system with model 3009 Main Processors, while the system is online.
| Affected Product and Version | Remediation |
| Model 3009/3009X Main Processor module installed in Tricon or Tricon CX system versions 11.3.x, 11.4.x, 11.5.x, or 11.7.x |
• Call Customer Support to schedule maintenance. Schneider Electric customer engineers will have the remediated version, Build 753 – Tricon/Tricon CX v11.8.0, required to upgrade the module. • Module will need to be flashed with new firmware and then reinstalled in the system. |
New features of the latest Tricon release include:
• Ability to seamlessly upgrade from a Tricon 10V.3,x - V10.5 system with 3008 Main Processors to a Tricon V11.2 system with model 3009 Main Processors while the system is online (module swap process).
• When only Tricon Communication Modules (TCMs) are installed, the maximum number of tagnames is now approximately 29,000 (previous versions supported a maximum of approximately 13,000 tagnames) with a corresponding increase in bin sizes.
• Ability to make changes to the SOE and peer-topeer configuration, and increase the I/O memory allocation, while in the Download Changes state.
• Improved, more secure versions of the TSAA and TriStation protocols.
• Addition of extended module information for the Main Processor and TCM.
A high-speed proprietary bus system called TriBus provides these functions: interprocessor communications, hardware majority voting of all digital input data, and comparison of control program variables. TriBus uses a fully isolated, serial communication channel, which operates at 4 Mbps with the Model 3006 and Model 3007 MPs, at 25 Mbps with the Model 3008 MPs or the Model 3009 MPs when they are installed in the Model 8110 Main Chassis, and at 1000 Mbps when the Model 3009 MPs are installed in the Model 8120E Enhanced Performance Main Chassis. A direct memory access controller manages the synchronization, transfer, voting, and data correction independent of the control program or executive software.
DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) is used for control program, sequence-of-events data, I/O data, diagnostics, and communication buffers. SRAM (static random-access memory) is used for the defined program retentives and configuration of disabled points. Memory is regularly validated by the TriBus hardware-voting circuitry.
To guarantee that the controller provides a deterministic response time, the scan time should always be set to a value greater than the I/O poll time (the maximum time needed by the controller to obtain data from the input modules). You can view the I/O poll time on the System Overview screen in the Enhanced Diagnostic Monitor (sold separately). For more information, see the Enhanced Diagnostic Monitor User's Guide. Also, TriStation 1131 4.11.x and later provide an estimate of the poll time.
