ICS TRIPLEX T8120C

Description

The ICS TRIPLEX T8120C is a high-performance, fault-tolerant controller designed for use in process automation and control applications. It is a part of the Trusted TMR family of products from ICS TRIPLEX, known for their high reliability and safety.

Product Description

The T8120C controller is a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) system, which means that it has three identical modules running in parallel, each with its own CPU, memory, and I/O interfaces. The system uses a voter module to compare the outputs of the three modules and choose the correct output in case of a failure in one of the modules. The TMR architecture ensures that the controller is highly dependable and fault-tolerant.

The T8120C is designed to work with a range of I/O modules, including analog and digital inputs and outputs, as well as specialized modules such as thermocouple, RTD, and frequency modules. The controller supports a range of communication protocols including Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, and OPC, making it easy to integrate with other systems.
