Features:
- Dual copper 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports (RJ-45) and four RS-232/RS-485 serial ports (DB-9) supporting communication speeds up to 100 Mbps and 115.2 Kbps respectively.
- Embedded OPC server on port NET 2 accepting up to 10 OPC client subscriptions complying with DA 2.05 and A&E 1.10 standards.
- Built-in 500 VDC galvanic port isolation to safeguard internal backplane electronics against field line noise.
The Schneider Triconex 4353 Tricon Communication Module (TCM) is supplied as a factory-tested communication expansion unit configured to establish robust network and serial connectivity for Tricon safety controllers.
This communication module provides dedicated interface capabilities for critical emergency shutdown (ESD), burner management systems (BMS), and turbomachinery control applications across plant-wide control networks.
Installation requires that identical TCM models reside within the same logical slot, supporting online module replacement without active hot-spare redundancy while the main controller remains fully operational.
The Triconex 4353 module availability and lead times are subject to stock verification and manufacturer lead times upon order confirmation by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) requiring high-integrity communication with host Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
- Burner Management Systems (BMS) utilizing Modbus master/slave configurations and process data reporting.
- Critical turbomachinery protection and process control networks demanding time-synchronized peer-to-peer data exchange.
- Primary network port (NET 1) handles TSAA with IP Multicast, Modbus TCP/IP, Peer-to-Peer messaging (UDP/IP), and Peer-to-Peer time synchronization.
- Secondary network port (NET 2) strictly supports the embedded OPC server, TriStation programming software, and SNTP time synchronization.
- Four serial DB-9 ports support Modbus functions (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 15, 16) and direct interface with Trimble GPS clock units.
- Delivers high-speed 100 Mbps throughput across dual copper RJ-45 Ethernet network connections.
- Supports high-density serial communication speeds up to 115.2 Kbps across all four DB-9 RS-232/RS-485 ports.
- Hosts an embedded OPC server on NET 2 capable of serving data subscriptions for up to 10 concurrent OPC clients.
- Provides continuous visual hardware monitoring via front-panel PASS, FAULT, ACTIVE, and FIRM status LEDs.
- Enables real-time system data subscription and parameter control for up to 10 host clients via embedded OPC server.
- Supports time-synchronized control data transmission using Peer-to-Peer protocols and Trimble GPS timing integration.
