FAQ

FAQ (Q&A)

Q1: How do I replace a faulty 3101 module without shutting down the system?
A1: Use the hot-spare slot. Insert the replacement module, wait for diagnostics (5 mins), then remove the faulty unit.

Q2: What is the maximum cable length for the Modbus RS-485 port?
A2: 1.2 km (4,000 ft) with 24 AWG twisted-pair cable; termination resistors required beyond 6 meters.

Q3: Can the 3101 operate in extreme temperatures?
A3: Yes, it supports -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F) with extended temperature firmware.

Q4: How do I troubleshoot a blinking Fault LED?
A4: Check TriStation Diagnostic Panel for error codes. Common issues include power fluctuations or I/O bus faults.

Q5: Is the 3101 compatible with legacy Tricon systems?
A5: Yes, via Triconex Peer-to-Peer protocol using Communication Modules (e.g., 3201).

Q6: What is the lifespan of the onboard battery?
A6: 15 years under normal conditions (retains NVRAM during power loss).

Q7: How do I configure OVD for Digital Output Modules?
A7: Use TriStation 1131 to enable/disable Output Voter Diagnostics per point.

Q8: Can I daisy-chain multiple I/O columns?
A8: Yes, using I/O Extender Kits (e.g., 2291) with a maximum bus length of 200 meters.

Q9: What certifications does the 3101 hold for hazardous areas?
A9: FM Class I Div 2, ATEX Zone 2, and IECEx for explosive environments.

Q10: How do I update firmware on the 3101?
A10: Download the firmware file via TriStation and use the Debug Port (RJ-12) for installation.
