Overview
This chapter introduces the Triconex external field termination products for the Tricon system.
All cables and termination panels are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. The
environmental specifications for components used on these products are the same as for a
Tricon chassis. For more information, see the Planning and Installation Guide for Tricon v9–v10
Systems.

External Termination Panels 3
Field Terminations Guide for Tricon v9–v10 Systems
External Termination Panels
An external termination panel (ETP) is an electrically-passive printed circuit board (PCB) to
which field wiring is easily attached. A panel connector, terminal blocks, and optional
components are mounted to the PCB and enclosed in a DIN-rail compatible plastic housing. A
termination panel and associated cable pass input signals from the field directly to an input
module, or pass output signals from an output module directly to field wiring. This
arrangement permits the removal or replacement of I/O modules without disturbing field
wiring.
Standard termination panels are best for remote marshaling of field wiring where maximum
flexibility, high density and simple maintenance is desired. Standard termination panels allow
you to marshal field signals in a separate enclosure up to 99 feet (30 meters) from a Tricon.
A standard termination panel consists of a PCB with all necessary components—such as two-
piece terminal blocks, resistors, fuses and blown-fuse indicators—mounted on a DIN-rail
compatible plastic housing. The housing snaps into mounting rails in accordance with
DIN 50 22.
Compression terminals on the standard panel are designed for use with 24- to 12-gauge (0.3
mm2to 2.1 mm2) wiring. Some panels have an optional current-limiting series resistor, others
have a fuse with a blown-fuse indicator, to protect the field wiring and field device.
Standard termination panels are pre-configured for a specific application. For instance,
commoned standard termination panels can be ordered with commoned power-and-return, or
redundant DC power configurations with a diode-ORing. The thermocouple input termination
panel provides cold-junction temperature sensors and can be ordered with upscale, downscale,
or programmable burnout detection. A standard termination panel for analog voltage inputs
provides commoned or non-commoned signal returns, while the current-mode version has a
precision resistor at each input point to convert current to voltage.
Each standard termination panel is packaged with a matched interface cable that connects the
panel to the backplane of a Tricon chassis. A female connector at one end of the cable is keyed
to match the male connector on the Tricon backplane. A male connector on the other end of the
cable attaches to the standard termination panel.
In addition to standard termination panels, there are other types of termination panels,
including:
• Basic termination panels
• Hazardous location (nonincendive) termination panels
• RG 1.180 Termination Panels
• Termination panels with interposing relays
• Bypass panels for digital inputs
• Termination panels with RTD/TC/AI input signal conditioning
• Termination panels for 3603B digital output modules
• Termination panels for 3806E analog output modules

4Chapter 1 Introduction to Field Terminations
Field Terminations Guide for Tricon v9–v10 Systems
Basic Termination Panels
Basic termination panels are a low-cost means of connecting field wiring to a Tricon. Basic
termination panels allow you to marshal field signals in a separate enclosure up to 99 feet (30
meters) from a Tricon chassis.
A basic termination panel consists of a PCB—with panel connector and terminal blocks—
mounted on a DIN rail-compatible plastic housing. The housing snaps onto mounting rails in
accordance with DIN 50 022. Current-to-voltage conversion resistors are also mounted on
analog input panels configured for current input. You must provide any other components
required for your application.
The panel connector and terminal blocks are directly interconnected via the PCB. The
compression terminals on the terminal blocks are designed for use with 24- to 12-gauge (0.3
mm2to 2.1 mm2) wiring.
Refer to Appendix B, Fanned-Out Cable Pinouts for signal labels and connector pin numbers.
Each signal label indicates the corresponding screw terminal on the termination panel. The
panel connector’s pin numbers match those on the Tricon backplane’s connector.
A basic termination panel is packaged with a cable that connects between a Tricon chassis
backplane and the basic termination panel. A female connector on one end of the cable is keyed
to match the male connector on the Tricon backplane. A male connector on the opposite end of
the cable is keyed to match the male connector on the termination panel.
Basic termination panels are available in these configurations:
• Digital input panels
• Digital output panels
• Relay output panels
• Analog input panels
•Analogoutputpanels
• Pulse input panels
• Pulse totalizer input panels
RG 1.180 Termination Panels
RG 1.180 termination panels are suitable for use in applications that need to meet the
requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.180, “Guidelines for Evaluating Electromagnetic and
Radio-Frequency Interference in Safety-Related Instrumentation and Control Systems, Revision
1” published by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Hazardous Location (Nonincendive) Termination Panels
Hazardous location (nonincendive) termination panels are suitable for use in Zone 2, and Class
1, Division 2 field circuits. These panels contain extra circuitry designed to limit power available
to the field terminals and have been examined and certified by TÜV Rheinland as being
nonincendive. This guarantees that if the field wires are accidentally opened, shorted, or

External Termination Panels 5
Field Terminations Guide for Tricon v9–v10 Systems
grounded, and the Tricon is operating normally, the wiring and attached devices will not
release sufficient energy to cause ignition in the specified flammable atmosphere.
Termination Panels with Interposing Relays
Termination panels with interposing relays can be used with most digital output modules and
are recommended for these applications:
• Load currents greater than 2 amps
• Field voltages greater than 115 VAC
• Voltage-level conversions
• Motor-starter circuit compatibility
Interposing relay panels are available in these configurations:
•16-pointcommoned
• 16-point non-commoned
The digital outputs of the interposing relays are not fault-tolerant. However, each relay
provides an auxiliary contact that can be fed into a digital input to send a loopback signal to the
control program. A user-written loopback check in the control program can ensure that the relay
has achieved its commanded state. The loopback cable must be ordered separately.
Each interposing relay panel provides the capability to common power and return through a
factory-mounted bus-bar arrangement.
Each interposing relay panel consists of:
• A 7 in x 19 in (36 cm x 48 cm) rack-mountable panel with terminals for 16 digital
outputs and 16 digital inputs.
• Two ELCO connectors mounted on the panel for connecting to digital input modules
using digital input cables 9141-010, 9142-010, or 9143-010.
• An EIA standard RS-310-C plate on which the termination panel is mounted.
• A digital output module and a cable compatible with the selected coil voltage.
Bypass Panel for Digital Inputs
Bypass termination panels can be used to connect digital inputs using a bank of 32 pre-wired
switches. Bypass panels have a master keyswitch and terminals for redundant +24 VDC power
sources. Each input point contains an ON status indicator and can be energized only if the
master keyswitch is ON and the corresponding point switch is ON. Each point has a location for
a user-definable label.
Each bypass termination panel comes with one or two 10-foot (3-meter) cables for connecting
the termination panel to a Tricon backplane.

Field Terminations Guide for Tricon v9–v10 Systems
Termination Panel with RTD/TC/AI Input Signal Conditioning
Termination panels which use industry-standard analog signal conditioners provide a flexible,
user-configurable interface to resistive thermal devices (RTDs), thermocouples, and 4-20 mA
transmitters. Each termination panel supports 16 points and each analog module can support
up to 2 panels. These termination panels are compatible with any signal conditioners in the 1 to
5 volt output range. For example, the 7B series of signal conditioners from Analog Devices™ are
known to work well.
Termination Panel 9251-210 for Digital Output Module 3603B
The special 16-point non-commoned digital output termination panel 9251-210 is required for
use with the 16-point non-commoned digital output module 3603B.
Termination Panel 9863-710 for Analog Output Module 3806E
The special analog output termination panel 9863-710, with buffered loopback signals, is
available for use with the high-current analog output module 3806E.

Cables 7
Field Terminations Guide for Tricon v9–v10 Systems
Cables
Three types of cables can be used with the Tricon:
•Interface Cables
•Fanned-Out Cables
•Special Cables (Relay Loopback)
Interface Cables
Interface cables are packaged with all termination panels. Each interface cable has a female
connector on one end for connection to the male connector on a Tricon chassis backplane. The
opposite end has a keyed male connector for connection to a termination panel.
Although the standard length of all interface cables is 10 feet (3 meters), you may order any
length cable up to 90 feet (27.4 meters) in 10-foot increments using the last two digits of the
termination panel’s model number to specify length in feet. For example, specify 9xxx-x50 if you
want a 50-foot (15 meter) cable instead of the standard 10-foot (3-meter) cable.
Fanned-Out Cables
Fanned-out cables are a lower-cost alternative to using external termination panels. Fanned-out
cables allow you to marshal field signals in a separate enclosure up to 99 feet (30 meters) from
a Tricon. One end of a fanned-out cable has a female connector that connects to a Tricon chassis
backplane. The other end of the cable contains 50 fanned-out leads, each individually labeled
with its corresponding connector pin number.
Each fanned-out cable has the following characteristics:
• PVC outer covering
• 56-pin connector at one end
• 50 stranded, stripped, tinned and labeled 22-gauge leads at opposite end
Fanned-out cables should only be used with digital input and digital output modules. They are
not certified for use with analog signals. Contact the Triconex Customer Support Center if you
need a fanned-out cable for handling analog signals.
Although the normal length of all fanned-out cables is 10 feet (3 meters), any length cable can
be ordered up to 99 feet (30 meters) in 1-foot increments, using the last two digits of the cable
model number to specify the length in feet. For example, the model number 9101-050 specifies
a 50-foot cable instead of the normal 10-foot cable.
Special Cables (Relay Loopback)
If your application requires a special cable, it must be ordered separately. For example, if you
want to verify relay activation on a relay termination panel using a digital output module, you
must order a relay loopback cable to connect between the relay termination panel and a digital
input module. Currently, the only special cable available is the relay loopback cable (914x-010).
