ICS Triplex T3488 Regent Digital Output Module

The ICS Triplex T3488 operates as a guarded digital output module within Regent-based safety systems. Plant engineers choose this unit for applications that demand fault-tolerant output control. Consequently, the module delivers triple modular redundancy across all output channels.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Data

Cabinet space often limits how technicians arrange large control racks. Therefore, the ICS Triplex T3488 maintains a slim profile while preserving full output capacity. It weighs approximately 1.1 kg and occupies a standard 6U rack slot. Additionally, its dimensions measure 233 mm by 160 mm by 40 mm.

Interfaces and Connectivity Features

Stable field wiring depends on dependable physical connections at every terminal. The ICS Triplex T3488 provides dual redundant backplane interfaces for critical output paths. Furthermore, front-panel LEDs let technicians verify channel status instantly. Hot-swap support allows replacements without interrupting the controlled process.

Component Count and Energy Storage

Internal architecture shapes both service life and diagnostic coverage. The ICS Triplex T3488 carries more than 350 discrete components across three separate lanes. Moreover, a lithium battery retains configuration data for up to 90 days. This storage protects non-volatile memory whenever plant power drops.
