Product Description


ICS Triplex T8312-4 Trusted TMR Expander Interface Adapter Unit
Expander Interface Adapter for Connecting Controller & Expander Chassis in Trusted TMR Safety Instrumented Systems
1. Product Overview

The ICS Triplex T8312-4 is a Trusted TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) Expander Interface Adapter Unit, manufactured by ICS Triplex (now part of Honeywell Process Solutions). It enables seamless interconnection between the controller chassis and up to four expander chassis in Trusted safety instrumented systems (SIS) and distributed control systems (DCS). With full EMC shielding, locking connectors, and TMR architecture, it ensures reliable data communication and fault tolerance for critical industrial processes in oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and other high-risk industries, supporting system scalability and stable operation in harsh environments.
