Description
Key Technical Specifications
- Redundancy and Expansion Performance: It adopts a TMR redundant structure, and each key component is triplicated. Even if one component fails, the system can still operate stably without downtime. The chassis can hold two triple-width TMR processors and eight single-width interface modules. It also supports expansion of up to 10 racks, and can be flexibly configured with digital, analog and communication modules according to application needs to meet the requirements of large-scale industrial control systems.
- Safety and Adaptability: It has obtained SIL 3 certification and complies with the IEC 61508 international safety standard, which can fully meet the safety control needs of critical industrial scenarios. The operating temperature range can reach -40°C to 85°C, and some models work stably in the environment of -20°C to 55°C. With IP20 protection level and conformal coating, it can resist harsh conditions such as dust and humidity in industrial sites.
- Physical and Communication Characteristics: The overall size of the chassis is 266.7mm × 483mm × 312mm, which adopts a 19-inch standard rack-mounted design and weighs about 5kg, which is convenient for centralized installation and management in the control cabinet. It is equipped with high-speed Ethernet and other communication interfaces, supports Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCAT and other protocols, and realizes triplicated communication with the Trusted CPU to ensure the stability and real-time performance of data transmission.

Field Application & Problem Solved
- Petrochemical Emergency Shutdown System: In petrochemical production, the emergency shutdown system is crucial to avoid major safety accidents. The T8100 can connect various sensors and actuators in the production site. When abnormal parameters such as pressure and temperature are detected, its TMR architecture can ensure that the control command is not interrupted. It can quickly send a shutdown signal to relevant equipment, preventing the spread of dangerous situations such as leakage and explosion, and solving the problem of system failure caused by single – point faults in traditional controllers.
- Nuclear Power Plant Safety Instrumentation System: Nuclear power plants have extremely strict requirements on the reliability of control systems. The T8100 can be used in the safety instrumentation system to control and monitor equipment such as reactor temperature and pressure. Its SIL 3 certification and redundant design can avoid safety hazards caused by system downtime. At the same time, its strong anti-interference ability can adapt to the complex electromagnetic environment in nuclear power plants, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of control signals.

Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)
- Standardized Rack Installation: The chassis must be installed in a rack with doors and side panels. A window can be set on the front door to observe the state of the LED indicator light. During installation, ensure that the chassis is properly grounded to avoid equipment damage and signal interference caused by static electricity or leakage.
- Module Matching Configuration: When configuring processors and interface modules for the chassis, use modules of the same series and compatible specifications. Do not mix non-original or mismatched modules, otherwise it may lead to problems such as communication failures and inability to realize redundant functions.
- Regular Status Monitoring: Regularly check the LED status indicators on the chassis and modules. If a fault indicator is on, quickly locate the faulty module according to the diagnostic information. At the same time, regularly test the communication link and redundant switching function of the system to ensure that the system can switch to the redundant module in time when a fault occurs.
