The ICS Triplex T8100C is a Trusted TMR Controller Chassis from Rockwell Automation, specifically built for safety-critical industrial applications. It guarantees fault-tolerant operation through its Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture, making it perfect for process control, machine control, and power generation.
By utilizing three independent processors running in parallel, the T8100C provides unmatched reliability. In case of failure, the system will automatically drive itself to a safe state, ensuring continuous safe operation. Furthermore, it offers self-diagnostics, monitoring for faults and shutting down the system to protect against damage.
This versatile chassis supports up to 48 I/O modules and allows for seamless I/O expansion without system interruption, offering excellent scalability. In addition, the system is compatible with various communication protocols such as Ethernet, Modbus RTU, Open Modbus TCP, and OPC, ensuring flexibility and integration with other systems.
Key Features
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Provides maximum reliability with three independent processors executing the same program in parallel.
- Fail-Safe Operation: If a failure occurs, the system drives itself to a safe state, preventing any potential risks.
- Self-Diagnostics: The T8100C continuously checks for faults. If detected, it automatically shuts down to maintain safety.
- Modular I/O Expansion: You can add up to 48 I/O modules without interrupting operations, increasing flexibility.
- Certified Safety Standards: Meets IEC 61508 SIL 3 and EN 50128 standards, certified by TÜV Rheinland.
- Convection Cooling: The T8100C utilizes natural convection cooling for optimal thermal management, ensuring efficient operation without fans.
