TRICONEX 2000418
3. Advantages and Features
4. Application Areas and Cases
- 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.
5. Competitor Comparison
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.

6. Selection Advice
- 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%.
7. Precautions
- 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.
