Features:
- Triple redundancy with voting logic ensures continuous operation even with component failure
- 12-bit resolution with <0.25% FSR accuracy for precise actuator and valve control
- Meets IEC 61508 SIL 3 standard for safety-critical applications
The 3805H is built upon a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture, featuring three independent processing paths that operate in parallel. Each of the 8 output channels is continuously monitored, and the module uses a voting mechanism to ensure the correct output signal is maintained even if one or more internal components fail. This design ensures deterministic behavior in the event of faults, making the 3805H ideal for safety-critical applications where system availability and integrity are paramount. The TMR architecture, combined with SIL 3 certification, enables the 3805H to meet the rigorous demands of emergency shutdown and fire and gas systems.
The 3805H provides 8 independent analog output channels with a standard 4-20mA current range and an additional +6% overrange capability. With 12-bit resolution and output accuracy better than 0.25% of full scale, the module delivers fine-grained, precise control signals for a wide range of field devices, including control valves, actuators, and positioners. Each channel features independent isolation and calibration, supporting load capacities up to 1000 ohms at 24V DC loop power. This high precision makes the 3805H a trusted solution for demanding process control loops in oil and gas, chemical, and power generation industries.
The 3805H complies with IEC 61508 SIL 3 standards, certifying it for use in safety instrumented functions (SIFs) and critical protection systems. Its robust design operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C, and it carries multiple international certifications including TUV, CE, CSA, and UL. The module supports hot-swapping, allowing replacement or maintenance without interrupting the process. Comprehensive built-in diagnostics, including open-circuit detection and loop integrity monitoring, are provided for each channel. The 3805H integrates seamlessly with Tricon and Trident safety systems, supporting Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP communication protocols for flexible system configuration.
The 3805H TRICONEX 8-Channel TMR Analog Output Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD): Actuates safety valves to isolate process units during critical breaches.
- Fire and Gas (F&G) Systems: Commands suppression systems, visual/audible alarms, and ventilation dampers upon hazard detection.
- Turbine and Compressor Control: Drives the critical 4–20 mA actuator signals required for high-speed compressor anti-surge control and turbine speed throttling.
- Internal TriBus Communication: The module continuously communicates with the main system processors via the proprietary high-speed TriBus backplane. The processors synchronize and pass output data to the module's three distinct internal legs.
- Two-Out-Of-Three (2oo3) Output Voting: Output circuitry features final hardware voting mechanism. The three legs execute real-time comparison directly at the card stage. If one leg reports a deviant control signal, it is voted out dynamically without disrupting the physical 4–20 mA signal.
- HART Protocol Pass-Through: The 3805H interfaces directly with secondary HART Interface Modules (such as the 2870H). This allows bi-directional highway addressable remote transducer digital communication to pass through the analog loop, enabling asset management systems to monitor instrument health.
- IEC 61508 SIL 3 Certification: It is fully certified by TÜV Rheinland for use in Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) applications. Its hardware fault tolerance (HFT=1) ensures systematic safety integrity.
- Comprehensive Loop Diagnostics: The module features microprocessor-controlled fault detection with loopback diagnostic coverage. It continuously reads back the actual physical output current and compares it to the ordered value. Any deviation triggers an immediate system alert.
- Online Hot-Swapping: It supports non-disruptive hot-swap capability. Operators can slide a failed module out and insert a new 3805H into a companion slot online without stopping active processes or triggering a false trip.
