Description
Key Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | ICS Triplex (affiliated to Rockwell Automation) |
| Electrical Parameters | The nominal input and output voltage is 24VDC, and it can also be configured to adapt to 48VDC and 120VDC power input. The input power range is 18 – 32VDC, and the power consumption of a single module is about 3W. Each input channel has electrical isolation to avoid external electrical interference. |
| Channel Configuration | It has 16 digital input channels and 16 digital output channels. The input channels can support both voltage signals and dry contact signals to adapt to the signal output of different field devices such as relays and switches. |
| Physical & Environmental Indicators | One set of dimension data is 100mm×120mm×70mm and the weight is 600g; another set of data shows the size is 3.3cm×26.5cm×35.7cm and the weight is 1.26kg. The operating temperature is -20°C to +60°C, the storage temperature is -40°C to +85°C, and it can work in an environment with 5% – 95% non-condensing humidity. |
| Safety & Compliance | It meets the SIL 3 standard of IEC 61508 and has TÜV certification. The protection level is IP20, which is suitable for indoor industrial control cabinet installation. |

Field Application & Problem Solved
The T3310 can well solve such problems. For example, in a coal-fired power plant’s boiler control system, the module is responsible for collecting the on-off state signals of multiple pipeline valves and sending start-stop control signals to the valve actuators. Its triple I/O security bus design ensures that even if the module has a local fault, it will not affect the operation of the entire Regent system or other I/O modules, avoiding signal transmission interruption. In an onshore chemical plant’s safety instrumented system, when a field sensor connected to the module has a signal anomaly, the module’s redundant fault detection circuit can quickly identify the problem and send an alarm, so that the staff can deal with it in time without triggering large-scale production chaos.
Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)
- Ignoring Grounding Requirements: Each I/O connector of the module is equipped with a ground wire tail. During installation, it must be fixed to the cable bracket at the rear of the chassis with specified M5×10 pan-head self-tapping screws. If the grounding is not firm, it will affect the signal stability and anti-interference ability.
- Improper Hot-Swap Operation: Although the module supports hot-swapping, random plugging and unplugging during operation may damage the module interface and chassis socket. It is necessary to follow the operation manual and confirm the circuit status before replacement to ensure gentle operation.
- Mismatched Voltage Configuration: The module supports multiple voltage inputs, but if the input voltage is not configured according to the field device requirements, it may cause damage to the module or failure to collect signals normally. It is necessary to confirm the voltage parameters of the connected field devices before debugging.
- Neglecting Environmental Constraints: Its protection level is only IP20, which is not dustproof and waterproof. If it is installed in an open outdoor or dusty and humid environment without protection measures, the internal circuit of the module will be damaged, resulting in failure. It should be installed in a closed control cabinet.

Technical Deep Dive & Overview
In terms of usability, the hot-swap function and real-time fault detection function greatly reduce the system downtime caused by maintenance. It can be seamlessly integrated with the ICS Triplex Regent system, and supports communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, which is convenient for integration into existing industrial automation platforms. In the market, this module is usually supplied in original packaging, and most suppliers provide a 12-month warranty service, which guarantees the later use and maintenance of enterprises.
