Core Features & Customer Value

Triple Modular Redundancy Architecture: The T8193 employs Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) technology, which means the system can continue operating even if one module fails. This architecture provides three independent processing channels that vote on outputs, ensuring that a single point of failure does not compromise system operation. For safety-critical applications such as emergency shutdown systems and fire and gas detection, this redundancy translates to enhanced system availability and reduced risk of unplanned shutdowns. The TMR design also enables hot-swap replacement of modules, allowing maintenance to be performed without taking the entire system offline.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Coverage: The module includes built-in diagnostic functions that continuously monitor system health and detect faults in real-time. These diagnostics cover communication interfaces, power supply status, input/output channel integrity, and internal processor health. For maintenance teams, this diagnostic capability reduces troubleshooting time and enables predictive maintenance strategies. The system provides detailed fault information through front-panel indicators and engineering workstation interfaces, allowing operators to quickly identify and address issues before they escalate into critical failures.

Flexible Communication Integration: Support for multiple industrial protocols including Modbus, HART, and Ethernet/IP enables seamless integration with various control systems and field devices. This flexibility allows engineers to configure the T8193 to communicate with existing DCS, PLC, and SCADA systems without requiring additional protocol converters or gateways. The module’s standard industrial interfaces simplify system design and reduce engineering time during commissioning and future expansions. The communication interfaces also support time synchronization via IRIG-B signals, ensuring accurate time-stamping of events across the control system.

Typical Applications

The ICS Triplex T8193 is primarily deployed in safety instrumented systems (SIS) and emergency shutdown systems (ESD) within the oil and gas industry. In offshore production platforms, the module typically interfaces with emergency shutdown valves, fire and gas detection systems, and process safety controllers. The TMR architecture ensures that critical safety functions remain operational even during component failures, meeting the stringent safety requirements of offshore installations where environmental conditions can be challenging and access for maintenance is limited.

In refinery and petrochemical facilities, the T8193 is commonly used in process safety systems where it monitors critical process parameters and initiates safety actions when predefined limits are exceeded. The module’s high reliability and SIL 3 certification make it suitable for applications such as furnace protection, compressor control, and pressure relief systems. The wide operating temperature range allows deployment in unmanned remote locations with varying environmental conditions, while the robust construction withstands the electrically noisy environments typical of petrochemical plants.

The module also finds application in power generation plants, particularly in turbine protection systems and boiler control applications. In these scenarios, the T8193 interfaces with fuel shutoff valves, steam control valves, and other critical safety devices. The module’s fast response time (<1ms) ensures that safety actions are executed promptly when required, preventing equipment damage and ensuring personnel safety. The DIN rail mounting simplifies installation and maintenance in control panel enclosures, while the modular design allows for easy system expansion as process requirements evolve.
