Description
Product Description
ICS TRIPLEX T8310 is a high – performance HIFT TMR (Hardware Implemented Fault Tolerant Triple Modular Redundancy) expander processor module, serving as the critical interface between the expander chassis and controller chassis in Trusted safety – critical control systems. ICS TRIPLEX T8310 enables seamless 250 Mbps data transfer between chassis via the TC – 301 hot – link cable and T8312 expander interface adapter, ensuring robust communication in critical industrial environments. ICS TRIPLEX T8310 operates on dual redundant +24 VDC power from the expander chassis backplane, with a wide input voltage range of 20 – 32 VDC to adapt to unstable power supplies. ICS TRIPLEX T8310 features comprehensive diagnostics, front – panel LED indicators for health, active/standby, and TxRx status, and supports hot – standby and module – spare configurations for automatic or manual repair strategies. ICS TRIPLEX T8310 uses fault containment to localize potential fault impacts, maximizing system availability, and is installed in the two leftmost processor slots of the expander chassis. ICS TRIPLEX T8310 meets IEC 61508 SIL 3 safety standards, making it a core component for expanding I/O capacity in high – risk industrial control systems.
