Description

ICS Triplex T8111 is a fault-tolerant main processing component designed for the Trusted system architecture. Operating in a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) lock-step configuration across three independent Processor fault containment regions (FCRs), the T8111 executes user-defined application programs, performs system monitoring, and manages I/O data exchanges across the triplicated Inter-Module Bus. The module integrates two configurable RS422/485 serial ports, one dedicated RS485 2-wire serial port, an RS232 front panel diagnostic interface, and built-in IRIG-B time synchronization capabilities. The ICS Triplex T8111 is designed for critical safety instrumented functions and process control applications requiring high availability and fault isolation.

Features

  • Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture with Hardware Implemented Fault Tolerant (HIFT) clock and voting mechanics.
  • Three NXP PowerQUICC II series processors executing application logic in lock-step synchronization.
  • Support for hot replacement in Companion Slot active/standby configurations without program re-loading.
  • Integrated IRIG-B002 (RS422/485) and IRIG-B122 (1 kHz modulated) time synchronization inputs.
  • Front panel RS232 serial diagnostic port and status/diagnostic LED indicators.
  • Active and Standby processor fault and fail relay contact outputs.
  • IEC 61131-3 programming language support via the system toolset.

Applications

  • Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
  • Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD)
  • Fire and Gas Detection Systems (F&G)
  • Critical Process Control Systems
  • Burner Management Systems (BMS)

Installation Guidelines

  • Visual Inspection: Inspect the module housing and rear I/O connectors for damaged or bent pins prior to installation. Do not attempt to straighten bent pins.
  • Electrostatic Discharge Safety: Static handling precautions must be observed. Do not touch exposed connector pins or attempt to open the module housing.
  • Insertion Procedure: Ensure the rear adapter unit is installed. Release top and bottom ejector tabs fully using the release key, slide the module smoothly into its designated chassis slot, and press the fascia until the ejectors click locked.
  • Key Switch Positions: Set the maintenance enable keyswitch to 'Run' to lock memory during standard execution, or 'Maintain' to enable application downloads from the workstation.

Compliance and Certifications

  • Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3

FAQ

How does the module handle real-time clock retention when powered down?

The real-time clock uses capacitor energy storage providing up to 8 hours of backup retention time when main power is off.

What happens if one of the three processor slices develops a fault during operation?

The device logs the fault and continues 2003 voting operation. In an active and standby setup, processing automatically switches to the standby module.

What port connection is used for front panel diagnostic and configuration access?

The front panel is equipped with an RS232 serial diagnostic port designed to interface with an engineering workstation.
