Description
The ICS Triplex T8310 Trusted® TMR Expander Processor Module is designed to occupy the processor slots within the Trusted Expander Chassis. Its primary function is to serve as the ‘slave’ interface connecting the Expander Bus to the Expander Chassis Backplane. The Expander Bus facilitates the connection of multiple chassis systems through Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable connections while preserving the fault-tolerant and high-bandwidth capabilities of the Inter-Module Bus (IMB). ICS Triplex T8310 module plays a critical role in fault containment for the Expander Bus, the module itself, and the Expander Chassis. Its purpose is to ensure that any potential faults remain localized, thereby maximizing system availability. The module employs a fault-tolerant design with HIFT TMR architecture. It includes comprehensive diagnostic, monitoring, and testing features that enable rapid fault identification. Additionally, it supports hot-standby and module spare configurations, allowing for both automatic and manual repair strategies.
Features
High reliability and fault tolerance: It adopts a triple modular redundancy architecture and a hardware-implemented fault tolerance (HIFT) architecture, and conducts voting in a "two-out-of-three" manner to ensure that a single module failure will not affect the operation of the system, and it has a strong fault tolerance capability.
Advanced diagnostic function: It has comprehensive diagnostic, monitoring and testing functions, which can quickly identify faults. It can also automatically handle faults without generating interfering alarms.
Flexible configuration and maintenance: It supports hot-swapping, allowing modules to be replaced online without shutting down the system. At the same time, it supports hot standby and module standby configurations, facilitating both automatic and manual maintenance.
Powerful processing capability: Equipped with dual 32-bit ARM Cortex-A9 processors, 2GB of DDR3 memory and 128MB of flash memory, it can quickly process various control tasks and data.
Rich interfaces: It provides 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet and RS-485 communication interfaces, making it convenient for data exchange and remote monitoring with other devices and systems. It also has 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs and 2 analog input channels, which can be connected to a variety of field devices.
Technical Specifications CPU: Dual 32-bit ARM Cortex-A9 processors Memory: 2 GB DDR3 RAM, 128 MB flash I/O: 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs Communication: 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet, RS-485 Dimensions: 19.2 x 10.2 x 2.2 in (48.8 x 25.9 x 5.6 cm) Weight: 2.2 lb (1 kg)
Application Fields

Power industry: In power plants, it is used for the control and protection of generator sets, as well as the automated control of power systems such as power grid dispatching.
Manufacturing industry: Used for factory automation, monitoring and controlling production lines and equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality.
Other fields: Such as flight control and navigation systems in aerospace, signal control and traffic management in railway and transportation systems, control and monitoring in marine and maritime fields, etc.
Installation and Wiring
Installation: Before installation, it is necessary to ensure that the RSLinx® gateway has been installed and configured, and the IP address has been configured for the processor module. The T8310 is installed in the processor slot of the expansion chassis, and is connected to the expansion interface module through the TC-301 hot link cable and the T8312 expansion interface adapter, and is powered by the dual-redundant +24V DC power supply on the backplane of the expansion chassis.
Wiring: Digital input and output signals are connected to field devices through corresponding terminals, and analog input signals are connected to the corresponding analog input channels. When wiring the communication interfaces, the Ethernet interface can be connected to other devices or networks through a network cable, and the RS-485 interface is connected to the corresponding serial port device according to the specified wiring method to achieve data communication and remote monitoring.
