Description
ICS TRIPLEX T8471C Trusted TMR Digital Output Module
Product Overview
T8471C is a conformal‑coated 32‑channel 120 VDC digital output module for Rockwell ICS TRIPLEX Trusted safety‑instrumented system (SIS). It adopts Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) 2‑out‑of‑3 voting architecture, delivers safe discrete output signals to field solenoid valves, relays and trip circuits. The suffix ‑C denotes conformal coated PCB for corrosive, high‑humidity cabinet environments. This module installs in Trusted system chassis and works with corresponding FTA termination assemblies. It carries SIL 3 safety certification for critical process safety applications.
Typical Applications
- Emergency Shutdown System (ESD): Solenoid valve driving for process plant emergency trip loops
- Fire & Gas (F&G) safety system: Output for alarm relays, fire suppression trigger and interlock circuits
- Burner Management System (BMS): Safety‑related discrete output for furnace and boiler protection
- HIPPS high‑integrity pressure protection system: Safety valve actuation control
- Oil & gas, petrochemical, refinery, chemical and power‑plant safety‑instrumented systems
- Brown‑field spare‑part replacement and system expansion for existing Trusted SIS installations
