The strongest source available is the TSxPlus V2.0 TÜV revision list, which explicitly identifies PM01 as the Processor module and -A-V001 as its certified hardware designation. The same document identifies BI01 as a separate module and PW01 as the external AC/DC power supply.
One important correction to generic product listings: I would not publish 24 inputs / 16 outputs as a specification. That figure appears in some reseller descriptions, but it is not supported by the TÜV certification record, which identifies as a processor rather than an I/O module.
Product Introduction
TRICONEX / -A-V001 Processor Module
The -A-V001 is documented as the Processor Module for the TSxPlus V2.0 safety system manufactured by Beijing Consen Technologies. The TÜV revision documentation lists the module together with its FPGA and application firmware components, confirming that is part of the safety-system processing architecture rather than a conventional field I/O card.
This distinction matters when sourcing a replacement. Although many industrial automation listings categorize under the TRICONEX name, the available certification evidence points to the TSxPlus platform, so the installed system architecture and exact hardware designation should be verified before treating as a Tricon-family replacement.

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls — Engineer’s Perspective
Engineering Pain Point
The main procurement risk with is incorrect platform identification. The model is repeatedly listed alongside Triconex parts such as BI01, DI3201, DO3201, and AI3281, but the certification documentation identifies these as components of the TSxPlus safety-system family.
Typical Applications
- TSxPlus V2.0 SIS installations — provides the processor function within the safety-system architecture.
- Safety logic processing — executes the processor-side functions required by the SIS.
- Safety-system maintenance — retained as a spare for an installed -A-V001 configuration.
- Certified SIS replacement work — applicable where the replacement hardware must correspond to the certified configuration.
Technical Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not treat as a standard Tricon main processor.
Standard Tricon documentation identifies its main processors as models such as 3008, while the TSxPlus certification separately identifies as a processor module. - Verify the complete designation.
is the module designation; is the specific certified hardware designation. The revision list also shows firmware and FPGA files associated with this hardware version. - Do not rely on generic I/O specifications.
The frequently published “24 input / 16 output” description is not consistent with the certification document’s processor classification. For an SIS replacement, the system manual, module label, firmware revision, and certification documentation should take precedence. - Check firmware before commissioning.
The certification revision list identifies application, boot, and FPGA firmware components. A hardware swap therefore should not be considered complete until the installed software/firmware configuration has been checked.

Procurement Note
For purchasing or replacement, I would identify this item as:
— TSxPlus V2.0 Processor Module — Beijing Consen Technologies — TÜV Certificate 968/FSP 1454.02/22
That identification is materially safer than simply calling it a “TRICONEX Main Controller.” Standard Tricon documentation uses different model numbers for its main processors, while the available safety certification specifically pla in the TSxPlus V2.0 architecture.
For a safety-system replacement, verify the module nameplate, complete -A-Vxxx designation, installed TSxPlus version, firmware/FPGA revision, and certification configuration before approving the spare.
