Product Introduction
The Triconex 2000417 is a critical field-replaceable battery module designed for use in Triconex safety instrumented systems (SIS), including the Tricon and Trident programmable logic controller (PLC) platforms. This battery serves as a backup power source for the volatile memory and real-time clock (RTC) within the main controller modules. Its primary purpose is to preserve critical system data—such as the controller’s time, date, event logs, and configuration parameters—during power outages, system shutdowns, or module removal for maintenance.
In safety-critical applications, maintaining accurate time stamps for sequence of events (SOE), trip logs, and audit trails is essential for incident analysis, regulatory compliance, and system diagnostics. The 2000417 ensures that this data remains intact even when the main power is disconnected, supporting the high availability and integrity of the safety system.
The 2000417 is engineered for long-term reliability and ease of replacement in harsh industrial environments. It is typically installed inside the Main Processor Module (MPM) or Power Supply/Processor Assembly of Triconex controllers and is designed to be replaced by field technicians without requiring specialized tools or sending the entire module back to a service center.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
Ensures Safety System Integrity
The 2000417 plays a vital role in maintaining the continuity and reliability of Triconex safety systems. By preserving the real-time clock and configuration data, it ensures that safety events are accurately time-stamped, which is crucial for post-event analysis and compliance with standards such as IEC 61508 (SIL 3) and ISA 84.01.
Predictable Maintenance and Proactive Replacement
Triconex systems monitor battery health and generate “Battery Low” alarms well in advance of failure. This allows for planned maintenance during scheduled shutdowns, minimizing unplanned downtime and ensuring continuous safety coverage. The 5-year replacement interval is standardized across the product line, simplifying inventory management.
Hot-Swappable Design
The 2000417 can typically be replaced while the system is running (hot-swap), especially in redundant Triconex architectures. This feature supports zero-downtime maintenance, a key requirement in continuous-process industries like oil & gas, chemical, and power generation.
Industrial-Grade Durability
Housed in a ruggedized enclosure, the 2000417 is built to withstand the electrical noise, vibration, and temperature extremes common in industrial environments. The lithium battery chemistry provides stable voltage output over its lifespan and excellent shelf life.
Part of a Certified Safety Ecosystem
As a component of Triconex’s TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) architecture, the 2000417 contributes to the overall fault-tolerant design of the system. While the battery itself is not redundant, its failure is monitored, and the system remains operational (though with potential loss of timekeeping) until replacement.
Typical Application Scenarios
Oil & Gas Production: In offshore platforms and onshore processing facilities, the 2000417 ensures that emergency shutdown (ESD) events are accurately logged for regulatory reporting and incident investigation.
Refineries and Chemical Plants: Where batch processes and safety interlocks are time-sensitive, the 2000417 maintains system time for sequence of events (SOE) recording and alarm management.
Power Generation: In combined cycle and thermal power plants, it supports time synchronization for turbine protection systems and emissions monitoring.
Pharmaceutical and Batch Processing: Ensures compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 by maintaining accurate time stamps for process events and operator actions.
System Upgrades and Preventive Maintenance: During control system audits or safety lifecycle reviews, replacing aging 2000417 batteries is a standard procedure to ensure system readiness and avoid unexpected faults.

Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance Instructions
Pre-Installation Check
- Verify system compatibility (Triconex model and firmware).
- Use ESD protection when handling electronic components.
- Check for active “Battery Low” alarms in Triconex TriStation 1131or Experion
Replacement Procedure
- Access the controller chassis (typically in a control cabinet).
- Locate the 2000417battery module (usually near the CPU or power supply).
- Carefully disconnect the old module (may have a locking tab or screw).
- Insert the new 2000417and secure it.
- Power cycle the controller if required.
- Verify in the software that the battery fault is cleared and RTC is synchronized.
Maintenance Suggestions
- Monitor battery status via Triconex diagnostics.
- Replace every 5 years, even if no alarm is present.
- Keep spare 2000417units in inventory for critical systems.
- Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations (lithium content).
- Document replacement date in maintenance logs.
