4609 | Triconex Communication Module

The Model 4609 Advanced Communication Module (ACM) acts as an interface between a Tricon controller and a Foxboro Intelligent Automation (I/A) Series system, appearing to the Foxboro system as a safety node on the I/A Series Nodebus. The ACM communicates process information atfull network data rates for use anywhere on the I/A Series system,transmitting all Tricon aliased data (including system variables andsystem aliases) and diagnostic information to operator workstations in display formats that are familiar to Foxboro operators. The ACM makesthe following functions available to the I/A Series:• Handles critical I/O points and passes results to the I/A Series using the Object Management Database (OMDB)• Processes Tricon alarms and propagates them to user-definedI/A Series destinations (consoles, printers, etc.)• Propagates Tricon alarms as I/A Series system messages• Reads/writes aliased data to satisfy I/A Series requests• Time synchronization from the I/A Series environme
