Features:
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) with 3-2-0 fault tolerance ensures system availability even with single-channel failures
- High-speed fault-tolerant communication via Ethernet, RS-485, and RS-232 supports Modbus and Profibus protocols
- Hot-swap capability enables module replacement without system shutdown, with automatic synchronization
The T9030 is built upon ICS Triplex's patented Triple Modular Redundancy architecture, providing the highest level of fault tolerance for safety-critical applications. Inside the module, three independent, isolated hardware channels operate in parallel, each processing the same control logic simultaneously. The system employs a 2oo3 (two-out-of-three) voting mechanism, meaning that as long as at least two of the three channels agree on the output state, the correct signal is sent to the field device.
The T9030 is designed for maintainability in live industrial environments without compromising safety. It supports true hot-swap capability, meaning a faulty module can be removed and replaced while the Trusted system remains powered and operational—critical for facilities where unplanned shutdowns are unacceptable . When a new T9030 module is inserted into the chassis, the system automatically detects the replacement and initiates a synchronization process. The two remaining "good" channels of the TMR set educate the new module, transferring all necessary configuration, calibration, and state information.
The T9030 incorporates comprehensive communication capabilities essential for modern safety instrumented systems. It provides Ethernet, RS-485, and RS-232 interfaces, supporting industrial protocols including Modbus and Profibus for seamless integration with distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms . The high-speed fault-tolerant communication ensures real-time data transmission with integrity checking, preventing data corruption or loss that could compromise safety functions.
The T9030 ICS TRIPLEX TMR Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) & Emergency Shutdown (ESD): Transmits critical, millisecond-accurate process interlock data (such as critical pressures, levels, and temperatures) in oil & gas extraction, refineries, and major chemical plants.
- Fire and Gas Systems (F&G): Aggregates real-time hazard data from flame/smoke detectors and toxic gas sensors, ensuring safety alarms are synchronized instantly to the Central Control Room (CCR).
- Turbomachinery Control (TMC): Channels operational velocity, vibration, and status diagnostics from large steam/gas turbines and high-pressure centrifugal compressors without adding latency to the underlying overspeed trip logic.
- Functional Safety Standards: Fully certified by TÜV Rheinland in compliance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, supporting applications up to SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) in TMR or dual-fault tolerant configurations.
- Industrial Cybersecurity: Adheres to IEC 62443 guidelines. The T9030 Portal Server features architectural data isolation to prevent unauthorized external network commands from penetrating or overriding the plant's safe-production layers.
- Environmental & Electrical Compliance: Built to operate seamlessly alongside hardware certified under EN 50178 and EMC Directives (EN 61000-6-2 / EN 61000-6-4), rendering the communication channels highly immune to high-frequency industrial electromagnetic interference.
- OPC DA (Data Access): The T9030 serves as a robust OPC DA compliance server. This enables any third-party SCADA software, Human Machine Interface (HMI), or plant-wide Distributed Control System (DCS)
- Redundant Telemetry Mediums: Communicates over dual-redundant Ethernet interfaces directly to the controller backplane, ensuring deterministic data gathering.
- on-Interference Principle: The T9030 employs strict memory-read isolation techniques. When an external SCADA or DCS client reads data through the T9030 server, the task is handled asynchronously.
