        Features:

        • Dual MAU compatibility supports flexible communication configurations across different network speeds
        • Defined electrical isolation and current limiting ensure stable operation under industrial power conditions
        • Structured timing and interruption tolerance maintain communication continuity during transient events
        The Triconex 3201 communication module is designed for industrial control systems requiring stable and structured data exchange between system components. Operating at a nominal 24 V DC input, the 3201 maintains compatibility within a defined voltage range while supporting controlled electrical behavior under varying operating conditions. Its design allows the 3201 to function reliably within systems that demand consistent communication integrity.

        The 3201 supports integration with different communication media through 10 Mb AUI-type and 100 Mb MII-type MAU configurations. This flexibility allows the 3201 to adapt to system-level communication requirements without altering its core electrical structure. Power consumption characteristics of the 3201 vary depending on connected MAUs, enabling scalable configuration within control architectures.

        From an electrical design perspective, the 3201 includes defined current limits, isolation ratings, and interruption tolerance parameters to maintain stable operation. The module ensures controlled behavior during inrush and short-circuit conditions while maintaining signal integrity. With standardized DB-9-pin DTE connectivity, the 3201 integrates into structured baseplate systems for consistent communication performance.

        The 3201 Triconex Communication Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

        Description
        The Triconex 3201 communication module operates with a nominal input voltage of 24 V DC and supports an operational range of 19.2 to 30 V DC with ±5% AC ripple tolerance. The 3201 is designed to maintain stable functionality under voltage variations, with an absolute maximum input voltage of 33 V DC and a reverse input limit of –0.6 V DC. Its input power interruption tolerance is up to 1 ms, ensuring short-duration supply stability during transient conditions.

        The 3201 includes configurable power consumption depending on connected MAU types, with logic power up to 8 W maximum without MAUs. The 3201 supports 10 Mb AUI-type MAU with an additional 6 W maximum per unit, and 100 Mb MII-type MAU with an additional 3.75 W maximum per unit. These characteristics allow the 3201 to adapt to different communication configurations within the system architecture.

        Electrical performance of the 3201 includes an inrush current up to 2.4 A maximum, typically 1.2 A for 50 ms, and a short circuit current limit per input of 2.4 A maximum. The 3201 also provides reverse current isolation of up to 500 µA maximum between inputs. Protective-to-functional-earth isolation is rated at 500 V DC, while serial port galvanic isolation is also 500 V DC, ensuring controlled electrical separation in communication pathways.

        The Triconex 3201 is equipped with a DB-9-pin DTE standard connector, shielded and located on the baseplate for structured system integration. The 3201 features no isolation between functional and logic ground, defined as 0 V. With a repetition rate requirement of 1 second minimum, the 3201 ensures stable and synchronized communication behavior under defined system timing conditions.
