The ICS Triplex T8310 Trusted TMR Expander Processor is a component of the Trusted TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) system designed by ICS Triplex, now part of ABB. The Trusted TMR system is a safety instrumented system (SIS) used in critical industrial applications where high levels of reliability and safety are required.
The T8310 Expander Processor serves as an expansion module for the Trusted TMR system and provides additional processing power and redundancy to enhance the system's overall performance and fault tolerance. Here are some key features and details about the ICS Triplex T8310 Trusted TMR Expander Processor:
1. Redundant Processing: The T8310 Expander Processor operates in conjunction with other processors in the Trusted TMR system to provide redundancy and fault tolerance. Multiple processors work in parallel, continually monitoring each other for discrepancies or faults to ensure the system's integrity.
2. System Expansion: The T8310 Expander Processor allows for the expansion of the Trusted TMR system, enabling the addition of more I/O (Input/Output) modules and extending the system's capability to handle larger and more complex applications.
3. Communication and Integration: The T8310 Expander Processor interfaces with other components of the Trusted TMR system, including I/O modules, processors, and communication networks. It supports various communication protocols to enable seamless integration with the overall system architecture.
4. Diagnostic and Fault Monitoring: The T8310 Expander Processor includes built-in diagnostic capabilities to monitor the health of the system and detect faults or abnormalities. It provides advanced diagnostics and fault-tolerant mechanisms to ensure the continuous and safe operation of the Trusted TMR system.
5. SIL 3 Capable: The Trusted TMR system, including the T8310 Expander Processor, is designed to meet the requirements of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3, which is a measure of the system's reliability in achieving safety functions.
