Triconex has two active platforms. The Tricon (Chassis) and the Trident (baseplates). The Tricon has been offering Supervised DO modules for many many years. There are 3 different SDO flavors available in different voltage levels. There is a current monitor (cannot be used for non-incendive circuits), a voltage monitor, and a point selectable supervised module. The Digital Inputs are line monitored by using an AI module and a resistor network. This is a requirement for Fire and Gas, which Triconex has hundreds of installations. The Trident will have an SDO in 2009, but for now there is an MTL solution available which uses a standard DO.
