What Are ICS Triplex T8310C Trusted Expander Modules? The ICS Triplex T8310C Trusted Expander Modules are high-reliability expansion units designed to extend the capacity and flexibility of the Trusted™ TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) safety system. Built for industries that demand absolute reliability—such as oil & gas, petrochemical, energy, and transportation—these modules enhance both I/O density and system scalability. The T8310C provides a secure communication link between the primary Trusted controller and additional I/O racks. With robust fault-tolerance, industrial-grade security, and a deterministic communication design, the module ensures that safety-critical operations continue uninterrupted, even under extreme operating conditions. Why Do Industries Depend on the T8310C Trusted Expander Modules? Industries adopt the T8310C because it addresses the most critical requirement in safety-instrumented systems: zero compromise on uptime. Key benefits include: Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) support for continuous fault-tolerant performance High-integrity communication for safe data transfer across remote racks Modular expansion that reduces the need for costly system redesign Long-term lifecycle support, important for facilities operating 24/7 for decades Compliance with global safety standards such as IEC 61508 and SIL 3 For operators, the T8310C ensures consistent production throughput, lower maintenance costs, and improved plant safety. Technical Specifications Number of Inputs: 8 Type: Analog/Digital Voltage Range: 0-10 VDC, 420 mA Number of Outputs: 8 Type: Analog/Digital Voltage Output: 0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA Protocols: Trusted communication protocol Interface: Serial communication ports Supply Voltage: 24 VDC Power Consumption: 1.5 W Where Are ICS Triplex T8310C Expander Modules Used? These modules are widely deployed in environments where safety, precision, and reliability are mission-critical: Offshore and onshore oil & gas platforms Refinery and petrochemical process units Power generation plants, including nuclear and thermal Pipeline monitoring and compressor stations High-risk industrial manufacturing sectors Transportation and railway safety systems Anywhere the Trusted™ TMR system is installed, the T8310C plays a pivotal role in expanding I/O capabilities without compromising system integrity. When Should Companies Upgrade or Expand Using T8310C Modules? An upgrade or expansion is recommended when: The current Trusted controller system is reaching I/O capacity A plant undergoes modernization, expansion, or process optimization Additional safety loops must be integrated due to regulatory changes Aging hardware requires high-reliability replacements Remote units need to be connected to a central TMR system Using T8310C modules enables seamless scaling while maintaining the architecture’s safety rating and system performance.
