ICS TRIPLEX+T8850

Description

ICS TRIPLEX+T8850 DCS PLC Module
While “ICS TRIPLEX+T8850 DCS PLC Module” combines DCS (Distributed Control System) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) terminology, they are typically separate systems. Here’s a breakdown to identify the component and recommend how to get specifics:

Understanding the Terminology:

ICS TRIPLEX: Likely refers to Rockwell Automation (formerly Invensys Triconex) due to their “Triconex” safety instrumented system (SIS) product line.
T8850: This is likely a specific module code within the ICS Triplex system.
DCS (Distributed Control System): A centralized system for managing large-scale industrial processes.
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): A more compact controller for automating specific tasks.
Function of the T8850 Module (Likely DCS):

Trusted TMR Field Termination Assembly (FTA): Based on available information (which might not be entirely official), the T8850 most likely refers to the ICS Triplex Trusted TMR Field Termination Assembly (FTA).
Function: This module acts as an interface between field devices (sensors/actuators) and the ICS Triplex Trusted TMR system, a safety instrumented system (SIS) for critical control applications in DCS.
It translates signals from field devices into a format usable by the SIS and vice versa.
Finding Specific Information:

Obtaining details like supported signal types, number of channels, and voltage ratings might be limited due to the focus on safety systems and system integration.

Confirmation: Verify the function of the T8850 as a Trusted TMR Field Termination Assembly (FTA).
Product Name: Ask for the official product name associated with the T8850 code.
Specifications: Request details on:
Supported signal types (analog/digital)
Number of channels
Voltage ratings
Communication protocols (if applicable)
Limited Online Search (Optional):

Important Note:

For the most accurate details about the T8850 module and its function within the ICS Triplex Trusted TMR SIS, contacting Rockwell Automation support directly is the recommended course of action.
