Description

The T8310 is an expander processor module designed for use within the ICS Triplex Trusted Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) fault tolerant programmable controller system. The device acts as the main processing and interface link between an expander chassis and the main controller chassis. Utilizing a Hardware Implemented Fault Tolerance (HIFT) TMR architecture with three distinct fault containment regions (FCR), the module provides high-speed, continuous 250 Mbps communications via dedicated link cabling or fiber optic interface units. It supports dual redundant 24 Vdc power inputs from the expander chassis backplane and features built-in 2oo3 voting and diagnostic routines to maintain continuous system operation without performance degradation.

Features

  • Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture with Hardware Implemented Fault Tolerance (HIFT)
  • Supports 250 Mbps data transfer rate over expander interface hot link cabling
  • Hot-swappable module design supporting active and standby module configurations
  • Front panel status LEDs indicating slice health, active status, standby status, and Tx/Rx activity
  • Automatic fault isolation and bumpless transfer capability

Applications

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

Installation Guidelines

  • Install the module exclusively into the two leftmost dedicated slots (slot positions 13 or 14) of the expander chassis.
  • Ensure ejector levers are fully disengaged before inserting the module into the chassis rail guides.
  • Press the module firmly into the backplane connector and engage both top and bottom ejector levers flush with the front faceplate to lock the interlock switches.
  • Ensure proper chassis grounding via the upper left chassis ground terminal and rear ground bar.
  • Maintain forced cooling via fan trays installed above the chassis to keep enclosure operating temperatures within specifications.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the expander processor module?

The module resides in an expander chassis to manage high-speed communications and interface field I/O data with the main controller chassis.

Does the module support hot swapping during operation?

Yes, the module supports hot replacement under power without disrupting system operation or degrading performance.

What chassis slots are designated for this module?

The module must be installed in the two leftmost slots (positions 13 and 14) of a Trusted expander chassis.
