Product Description


ICS Triplex T8310 | Trusted TMR Expander Processor Module
HIFT TMR Expander Processor for Chassis-to-Chassis Interface - High-Speed, Fault-Tolerant Distributed I/O Expansion for SIL 3 Safety-Critical Systems
1. Product Overview

The ICS Triplex T8310 is a Hardware-Implemented Fault-Tolerant (HIFT) Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) expander processor module, designed to serve as the critical interface between Trusted controller chassis and expander chassis in Rockwell Automation's Trusted safety instrumented system (SIS). It occupies the two leftmost processor slots of the expander chassis, enabling distributed I/O expansion while maintaining the fault-tolerant integrity of the Inter-Module Bus (IMB). The module utilizes HIFT TMR architecture (3-2-0 operation) with comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, ensuring rapid fault identification and containment to prevent fault propagation across chassis. It connects to the controller chassis via TC-301 hot-link cable (250 Mbps data transfer rate) and T8312 expander interface adapter, supporting hot-standby and spare module configurations for automatic/manual repair strategies. With dual redundant 24 V DC power from the expander chassis backplane, -40°C to +70°C operating temperature range, and SIL 3 compliance (IEC 61508), it delivers reliable chassis-to-chassis communication and I/O expansion for high-availability safety applications in oil & gas, petrochemical, nuclear power, and chemical industries, maximizing system scalability without compromising fault tolerance.

4. Installation & Maintenance
Installation: Mount in two leftmost processor slots of expander chassis; connect TC-301 cable to T8312 adapter (controller side); wire dual redundant 24 V DC power from backplane; power on and verify LED status (Healthy: Green; Active: Green; TxRx: Amber for data transfer).
Maintenance: Weekly: Inspect LED indicators for fault detection; Monthly: Test communication link (250 Mbps data transfer); Annual: Review fault logs, update firmware, and simulate single-channel failure to test TMR voting logic.
Safety Notes: Use only TC-301 cables for controller-expander connection; validate TMR fault containment after configuration changes; maintain hot-standby module for rapid replacement; perform maintenance during non-critical process phases.
