Features:

  • Flexible Mounting Options for Swing Frame, Fixed Frame, or Panel Rear Installation
  • Integrated IMB Backplane Providing 150Mbaud Electrical Interconnection for All Modules
  • Module Capacity for Up to Two TMR Processors and Eight I/O or Interface Modules
The T8100C serves as the Trusted Controller Chassis within the ICS TRIPLEX system, providing a robust physical enclosure for all Trusted modules within the control system. It accommodates up to two TMR processor modules and up to eight I/O and/or interface modules, with the inter-module bus (IMB) backplane integrated as part of the chassis to provide the electrical interconnection and other services for the modules. The T8100C supports a maximum IMB data transfer rate of 150Mbaud to ensure high-speed communication between all installed modules. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the T8100C chassis. The T8100C chassis can be either swing frame or fixed frame mounted, and may also be panel (rear) mounted by the addition of a panel mounting kit T8380 that comprises a pair of brackets with rear facing ears.

The T8100C provides essential physical integration and backplane interconnection functions common to the entire Trusted system, and is a critical component of the control architecture, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall TMR control system. One T8100C chassis is required per Trusted controller assembly to house the processor and I/O modules. The T8100C forms the foundational mounting platform for all modules and incorporates the IMB backplane as the central interconnect backbone within the chassis structure.

For dual TMR processor applications, the Trusted system requires a second TMR processor module installed in the T8100C chassis. In addition to single processor operation, the dual configuration also provides redundant processing capability. The Trusted dual processor system executes coordination using the IMB backplane that is part of the T8100C chassis. Using this architecture, the control system continually monitors the status of both processor modules through the IMB. If the system detects that the primary TMR processor module is no longer operating within normal parameters, it will maintain continuous control through the secondary processor module housed within the same T8100C chassis.

The T8100C 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 T8100C Trusted Controller Chassis is specifically designed to handle the demanding requirements of safety-critical and high-availability industrial control environments, solving the problem of physical integration and reliable interconnection for Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) systems. T8100C provides a robust, purpose-built platform that eliminates infrastructure-level single points of failure by securely housing the core processing and I/O modules essential for continuous, fault-tolerant operation.

T8100C is widely applied across industries such as oil and gas production, petrochemical processing, power generation, nuclear safety systems, and other process control sectors where uninterrupted uptime and deterministic control are mandatory. In these fields, T8100C serves as the backbone for safety instrumented systems (SIS) and emergency shutdown applications, ensuring that critical control loops maintain full integrity even when individual components experience faults.

Installation and integration of T8100C support multiple mounting configurations to accommodate diverse cabinet designs and maintenance access needs. The T8100C controller chassis can be either swing frame or fixed frame mounted, and the chassis may also be panel (rear) mounted by the addition of a panel mounting kit T8380 that comprises a pair of brackets with rear facing ears. The T8100C chassis can house up to two TMR processor modules and up to eight I/O and/or interface modules, offering substantial scalability within a compact footprint. The inter-module bus (IMB) backplane is part of the T8100C chassis and provides the electrical interconnection and other services for the modules, delivering a maximum data transfer rate of the IMB of 150Mbaud for high-speed module-to-module communication. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the T8100C chassis, ensuring that all maintenance is conducted at the removable module level rather than on internal chassis components.

Technical notes
The ICS Triplex T8100C 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 T8100C solves the problem of traditional controllers' inability to achieve continuous, high-availability operation under extreme or harsh conditions.
