Description
TRICONEX 2000418 is a high-reliability terminal block module from TRICONEX, engineered to provide secure and flexible connectivity for analog and digital signals in industrial control systems. As a critical component of TRICONEX’s triple modular redundancy (TMR) architecture, the
2000418 ensures robust signal termination and distribution, supporting both voltage and current inputs/outputs. Designed for safety-critical environments, this module simplifies wiring management and enhances system maintainability, making it ideal for applications requiring precise signal integrity and fault tolerance. The
TRICONEX 2000418 is widely used in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing, where reliable signal handling is essential for system stability.

TRICONEX 2000418
The TRICONEX 2000418 stands out for its TMR-ready design, which allows seamless integration with TRICONEX’s fault-tolerant control systems. Each channel features independent isolation, reducing cross-talk and improving noise immunity by over 30% compared to standard terminal blocks. Its modular construction enables quick replacement during maintenance, with hot-swappable functionality minimizing downtime. For example, in a chemical plant’s safety instrumented system (SIS), the 2000418 reliably managed 128 analog signals across eight modules, with TMR ensuring continuous operation even during single-channel faults.
- Application Areas:
- Industrial automation (PLC/DCS signal interfacing)
- Safety systems (emergency shutdown, fire and gas detection)
- Process control (sensor/actuator connectivity)
- Application Case: A large-scale power plant integrated the TRICONEX 2000418 to terminate signals from 96 temperature transmitters and motor control centers. The module’s high-current capacity and TMR compatibility allowed the plant to consolidate wiring into a centralized terminal rack, reducing cabling errors by 50%. During a routine maintenance shutdown, the hot-swappable design enabled module replacement without powering down the entire control system, saving over 4 hours of downtime.
Unlike non-modular terminal blocks, the TRICONEX 2000418 offers pre-engineered TMR compatibility, eliminating the need for custom wiring solutions. Its finger-safe terminals and integrated surge protection outperform basic terminal blocks in safety and reliability, while the expandable channel design provides greater flexibility than fixed-configuration alternatives. Compared to competitor modules with similar channel counts, the 2000418 achieves a 20% smaller footprint, optimizing panel space in compact control cabinets.
TRICONEX 2000418
- Signal Requirements: Confirm whether the module supports your required signal types (e.g., 4–20 mA for transmitters or dry contacts for relays).
- TMR Integration: Ensure compatibility with your TRICONEX controller to leverage triple redundancy features.
- Environmental Conditions: Validate the module’s temperature and vibration ratings for your operational environment (e.g., harsh industrial vs. controlled rooms).
- Scalability: Plan for future expansion by selecting a channel count that exceeds current needs by 20–30%.
- Wiring Practices: Follow TRICONEX’s guidelines for torque specifications on screw terminals to prevent loose connections or wire damage.
- Isolation Testing: Regularly verify channel-to-channel isolation resistance to maintain signal integrity, especially in high-noise environments.
- Safety Compliance: When used in hazardous areas, ensure the module is paired with certified intrinsic safety barriers and properly grounded. Avoid overloading channels beyond their current/voltage ratings to prevent overheating.
