Features:

  • Direct Rear-Mount Serial Communication Gateway Between the TMR Processor and Remote Systems via Three RS422/485 Links
  • Integrated IRIG-B Time Synchronization Signal Connection for Processor Timing Coordination
  • Modbus Master Capability and Peer-to-Peer Communication Support for Trusted Systems
The T8122C serves as the Processor Interface Adaptor for the Trusted TMR processor, providing serial communication connectivity between the processor and remote systems. It connects directly to the rear of the TMR processor and manages data exchange through three independent serial RS422/485 links, establishing reliable communication pathways for distributed control networks. The T8122C also provides the option of connecting IRIG-B time synchronization signals to the processor, ensuring precise temporal alignment across the safety system. Additionally, the T8122C enables the system to function as a Modbus master, facilitating integration with external supervisory devices. The T8122C has incorporated Peer-to-Peer communication support between Trusted systems as of Trusted Toolset version 3.5, extending interoperability capabilities within distributed architectures.

The T8122C provides essential communication interface functions for the Trusted TMR processor and is a critical component of the system data path, directly affecting the ability of the processor to maintain reliable data exchange with remote systems and synchronized operation across the overall control infrastructure. One T8122C processor interface adaptor is required per TMR processor to establish the standard rear-panel communication gateway. The T8122C mounts directly to the rear of the TMR processor and occupies only the dedicated processor interface position without requiring additional rack slots.

For enhanced network integration applications, the Trusted system utilizes the T8122C to establish Modbus master functionality and Peer-to-Peer communications between Trusted systems. In addition to standard remote system interfacing through the three RS422/485 serial links, the T8122C configuration also supports IRIG-B time synchronization signal input to the processor. The T8122C executes these communication and synchronization functions through the dedicated rear-mounted processor interface as specified in the Trusted system architecture. Using this design, the T8122C continually maintains active serial communication sessions between the TMR processor and connected remote equipment. When the system is configured with Trusted Toolset version 3.5 or above, the T8122C automatically activates Peer-to-Peer communication support between Trusted systems and registers the enabled capability within the system configuration.

The T8122C ICS TRIPLEX Processor Interface Adaptor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The ICS Triplex T8122C Processor Interface Adaptor is a communication component designed to connect directly to the rear of a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) processor. The T8122C serves as a dedicated hardware interface, providing three serial RS422/485 communication links that bridge the TMR processor with external, remote systems. In addition to serial connectivity, the T8122C offers the optional integration of IRIG-B time synchronization signals, ensuring the processor maintains precise, millisecond-level time alignment across the network. Furthermore, this adaptor equips the system with the capability to act as a Modbus master and fully supports Peer-to-Peer communications between Trusted systems starting from Toolset version 3.5. 

This T8122C Processor Interface Adaptor is specially designed to handle the challenges of secure data segregation, protocol translation, and strict millisecond time-stamping between safety-critical processors and plant-wide management networks. It solves the critical problem of safely exporting high-integrity control data to non-safety remote systems without exposing the primary TMR processor to external communication interference or data lag. For instance, in a specific application scenario such as a Turbo-Machinery Control (TMC) system at a natural gas compression station, the T8122C allows the safety system to seamlessly deliver high-speed diagnostics to a distributed control system (DCS) while simultaneously utilizing IRIG-B to align sequence-of-events recording during a sudden trip.

The T8122C is widely utilized in heavy industrial fields where safety, reliability, and continuous operations are non-negotiable, including oil and gas production, chemical refining, thermal power plants, and subsea control systems. For installation and integration, the T8122C features a direct plug-in design that secures straight to the back of the TMR processor chassis, which drastically reduces internal panel space and eliminates the need for complex intermediate patch cabling. When planning system upgrades, it is highly recommended to verify that your system is running Toolset version 3.5 or higher before implementing the T8122C, as this software version is required to unlock and utilize the advanced Peer-to-Peer communication features across your safety network.
