    ICS TRIPLEX T8111C

    Overview

    The ICS TRIPLEX T8111C is a high-integrity safety controller designed for critical applications requiring the highest levels of reliability and availability. Based on TRIPLEX's proven TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) architecture, the T8111C provides fault-tolerant control for safety instrumented systems (SIS) in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and nuclear facilities.

    Key Features

    • TMR Architecture: Three independent processors with 2-out-of-3 voting logic ensure continuous operation even in the presence of multiple faults.
    • SIL 3 Certified: Complies with IEC 61508 SIL 3 and IEC 61511 standards for safety-critical applications with low probability of failure.
    • High-Speed Processing: Capable of executing complex control algorithms with cycle times as low as 10 milliseconds.
    • Comprehensive I/O Support: Integrates with a wide range of analog and digital I/O modules for versatile system configuration.
    • Hot-Swap Capability: Allows replacement of modules during operation without system shutdown, minimizing downtime.
    • Dual Ethernet Connectivity: Supports redundant communication paths for enhanced reliability and integration with plant-wide networks.
    • Advanced Diagnostics: Continuous self-monitoring with detailed fault detection and reporting for proactive maintenance.
    • Extensive Protocol Support: Includes Modbus, Profibus, HART, and Ethernet/IP for seamless integration with other systems.
