Core Features & Customer Value

Robust Mechanical Construction: The chassis is constructed from heavy-gauge steel with industrial-grade powder coating, providing durability in harsh industrial environments. For system integrators, this robust construction ensures long-term reliability in applications subject to vibration, shock, and corrosive atmospheres. The 19-inch rack-mount design follows industry standards, simplifying installation in control panels and reducing engineering time during system design. The chassis includes precisely machined guide rails and positive locking mechanisms that ensure modules maintain proper electrical connections even in high-vibration environments, preventing intermittent connections that could lead to system faults.

Comprehensive Power Distribution: The chassis incorporates a distributed power distribution system that provides clean, stable power to all modules while protecting against voltage spikes and electrical noise. For electrical engineers, this power design eliminates the need for external power conditioning equipment and reduces wiring complexity. The power distribution system includes overcurrent protection and filtering to prevent electrical noise from affecting sensitive control circuitry. The chassis can accommodate redundant power supplies when configured appropriately, providing additional system availability for critical applications where power source reliability is a concern.

Thermal Management Design: The chassis is engineered for optimal thermal performance with calculated airflow paths and component placement to maintain modules within their operating temperature specifications. For maintenance personnel, this thermal design reduces the risk of heat-related failures and extends the service life of system components. The convection cooling design is sufficient for most applications, with provisions for optional forced air cooling for high-density configurations or installations in elevated ambient temperatures. The thermal management system ensures reliable operation without requiring additional cooling equipment in most industrial environments, reducing total cost of ownership.

Modular Expansion Capability: The twelve-slot configuration provides flexibility for system expansion and future modifications. For system designers, this modularity allows for initial configurations with room for future expansion without requiring chassis replacement. The slot configuration supports various module types including processors, communication interfaces, and I/O modules, enabling customized systems tailored to specific application requirements. The backplane design maintains signal integrity between all slots, ensuring that expansion modules operate with the same reliability as the core system components. This expandability protects initial investment by accommodating future process changes or additional I/O requirements.

Typical Applications

The ICS Triplex T8300 chassis forms the foundation for safety instrumented systems in hydrocarbon processing facilities. In offshore production platforms, the chassis typically houses the processor modules, communication interfaces, and I/O modules that comprise the emergency shutdown system (ESD). The robust construction withstands the marine environment while the proper slot allocation ensures optimal module placement for heat dissipation and signal integrity. The chassis’s vibration resistance is particularly important in offshore applications where equipment is subject to continuous motion from wave action and machinery operation.

In refinery applications, the chassis is deployed in fire and gas detection systems where it houses the modules that process signals from gas detectors, flame detectors, and smoke detectors. The chassis’s EMI/RFI protection ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy environments typical of petrochemical facilities. The 19-inch rack format allows for standardized panel design, reducing engineering time and cost for system integrators. The chassis’s ability to maintain module temperatures within specification is critical in these applications where control rooms may experience elevated ambient temperatures.

For power generation applications, particularly in combined-cycle power plants, the T8300 chassis provides the platform for turbine control and protection systems. The chassis houses the modules that monitor critical parameters such as vibration, temperature, and speed, executing protection functions when predetermined setpoints are exceeded. The chassis’s power distribution system ensures stable operation during voltage fluctuations that can occur in power generation environments. The modular design allows for customized configurations that match the specific protection requirements of different turbine types and operating conditions.
