Product Overview
The ICS Triplex T8111C is a Trusted TMR Processor Module engineered for mission-critical control systems. It uses a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture that ensures operational reliability even when hardware faults occur. Moreover, its hardware-implemented fault-tolerant (HIFT) design quickly detects and isolates faults, guaranteeing uninterrupted control performance.
This module serves as the central processing unit within the Trusted system, handling both logic execution and system diagnostics. In addition, its SIL 3 certification (IEC 61508) confirms compliance with the highest safety standards for industrial process automation.
Functional Highlights
The T8111C combines reliability, maintainability, and system flexibility, making it essential for safety and control applications.
Key Benefits:
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Operates on a 3-2-0 voting scheme to ensure uninterrupted processing.
- HIFT Technology: Detects and corrects hardware faults automatically, reducing nuisance alarms.
- Hot-Swap Support: Allows module replacement during operation without reloading programs.
- Time-Stamped Fault Historian: Records fault events for advanced diagnostics and maintenance.
- Flexible Programming: Compatible with IEC 61131-3 languages for easy logic development.
- Comprehensive Communications: Provides RS232, RS422/485, and IRIG-B time synchronization.
Furthermore, its front panel LED indicators give engineers instant visibility into processor status, enabling faster troubleshooting and system recovery.
