ICS Triplex T8111C Trusted TMR Expander Processor Module

Product Description

The ICS Triplex T8111C is a Trusted TMR Expander Processor Module designed for high-integrity industrial automation systems. It extends processing capacity while maintaining fault-tolerant triple modular redundancy (TMR), ensuring continuous operation even under hardware failures. Moreover, its SIL3 certification guarantees compliance with safety-critical industry standards, providing reliable protection against both hardware faults and cyber threats. The module is hot-swappable, allowing seamless replacement without system downtime, which maximizes uptime in mission-critical environments.

In addition to its robust architecture, the T8111C supports modern communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, enabling smooth integration with distributed control systems. Built with three independent processors executing identical tasks in parallel, it ensures system stability and reliability. Its rugged design allows operation in extreme conditions, from -40°C to +70°C, and it withstands high humidity levels, making it suitable for oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing automation applications.
