Features:

  • 19-Inch Rack-Mount Platform with Triple Modular Redundant Inter-Module Bus Backplane
  • Houses Dual Triple-Width Processor Slots and Eight Single-Width I/O or Interface Module Positions
  • Accommodates Dual Redundant 24 VDC Power Input with Keyed Slot Protection and Convection Cooling Architecture
The ICS TRIPLEX T8100 Trusted Controller Chassis serves as the central structural and electrical backbone in a Trusted TMR system, providing secure mechanical mounting and triple-redundant backplane communication to all modules within the enclosure. It maintains a dedicated Inter-Module Bus (IMB) operating at up to 150 Mbaud, distributing synchronized data paths through the backplane to support steady-state operation of the dual TMR processors and all associated I/O modules. Seamless communication integrity is inherent to the T8100 design; however, using an optional dual redundant power configuration will allow continuous chassis operation in the event of a primary 24 VDC source failure. The T8100 chassis has made improvements in several areas over previous Trusted system enclosures, including standardized 19-inch rack compatibility and comprehensive keying mechanisms to prevent incorrect module insertion.

The T8100 provides essential physical and electrical infrastructure common to the entire Trusted rack, and is a critical component of the control path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall TMR system. One T8100 chassis is required per Trusted controller rack, as it establishes the module slot configuration and IMB topology. The T8100 occupies a 6U height position (266.7 mm) in a standard 19-inch rack and is always equipped with processor modules in the left-side triple-width slots, while I/O and interface modules occupy the single-width positions to the right.

For dual redundant power applications, the Trusted System requires a second 24 VDC power source connected to the T8100 redundant power input terminals located on the chassis top panel. In addition to standard single-supply operation, the redundant configuration also performs automatic load sharing and failover. The T8100 dual power configuration executes power management using the internal distribution circuitry specified in the Trusted system options. Using this method, the redundant power system continually monitors the health of both incoming 20–32 VDC supplies. If the system detects that the primary power feed is no longer providing stable input outside configured voltage tolerance levels, it will automatically transfer the chassis load to the secondary supply and maintain full backplane communication without interruption.

The T8100 ICS TRIPLEX Trusted Controller Chassis may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The ICS Triplex T8100 Trusted Controller Chassis is a high-reliability hardware enclosure engineered to form the physical and electrical backbone of safety-critical industrial control systems. This specific ICS Triplex T8100 chassis is designed to house up to two Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) processor modules and up to eight Input/Output (I/O) and/or interface modules. An integral part of the ICS Triplex T8100 is its Inter-Module Bus (IMB) backplane, which provides the essential electrical interconnection and other services for all installed modules. This advanced backplane on the ICS Triplex T8100 enables high-speed communication with a maximum data transfer rate of 150Mbaud. Built for durability and specialized industrial environments, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the ICS Triplex T8100 chassis.

This ICS Triplex T8100 Trusted Controller Chassis Designed specifically to address unexpected downtime and safety system failures caused by hardware failures or single points of failure, the ICS Triplex T8100 solves the problem of traditional controllers' inability to achieve continuous, high-availability operation under extreme or harsh conditions. In terms of applications, the ICS Triplex T8100 is widely used in fields requiring high integrity protection and critical control, such as emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, fire and gas (F&G) systems, and turbomachinery control in oil and gas, petrochemical, power plants, chemical industries, and large-scale manufacturing processes.

For flexible deployment, the ICS Triplex T8100 controller chassis offers dual-configuration structural integration, as it can be either swing frame or fixed frame mounted. Additionally, the ICS Triplex T8100 chassis may also be panel (rear) mounted by the addition of a panel mounting kit T8380, which comprises a pair of brackets with rear-facing ears to facilitate secure placement. As an upgrade recommendation, users operating legacy systems can utilize the modular architecture of the ICS Triplex T8100 to scale up their system capabilities by gradually inserting high-density I/O and modern interface modules into its eight available slots without replacing the core infrastructure.
