Description
Key Technical Specifications
- I/O & Processing Performance: The module is equipped with 16 digital I/O channels and 2 analog input channels. The analog input supports ±10V DC voltage range, and can be configured as differential or single-ended input, as well as voltage or current input. With 16-bit resolution and input accuracy up to ±0.1% of full scale, it can ensure the accuracy of signal acquisition. Its response time is less than 1ms, enabling rapid processing of input signals and timely feedback of control instructions.
- Safety & Redundancy Design: It adopts a TMR triple modular redundancy architecture composed of three parallel independent power supplies. When a single or even double fault occurs, the system can still operate stably, which greatly improves the fault tolerance. It has passed the TÜV certification and meets the SIL 3 standard of IEC 61508. At the same time, it has overload, short circuit and overvoltage protection functions to avoid equipment damage caused by abnormal circuits.
- Physical & Interface Traits: It adopts DIN rail mounting, with dimensions of 45mm×180mm×120mm and a weight of about 600 grams, which is easy to install and integrate into the existing rack. It supports multiple communication protocols such as Ethernet/IP and Profinet, and is also equipped with 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet and RS-485 interfaces, realizing efficient data exchange with the central controller and other modules. The typical power consumption of the module is 3W, which is relatively energy-efficient.

Field Application & Problem Solved
- Oil Refinery Emergency Shutdown System: In oil refineries, where flammable and explosive environments require extremely high safety of control systems, the T8310C module can connect sensors that monitor pipeline pressure, temperature and gas concentration. Its TMR redundancy design ensures that even if a module component fails, the signal collection and transmission will not be interrupted. Once an abnormal signal is detected, it can quickly send instructions to trigger the emergency shutdown system, avoiding major safety accidents such as leakage and explosion.
- Thermal Power Plant Critical Equipment Monitoring: In thermal power plants, key equipment such as boilers and turbines need real-time monitoring. The T8310C module can collect and process the operating parameters of these equipment. Its powerful data processing capability can handle a large number of real-time data. Through communication with the central control system, it can feed back the equipment status in time. In case of abnormal parameters, it can cooperate with the control system to adjust the equipment operation parameters or issue an alarm, preventing equipment damage due to long-term abnormal operation and ensuring the stable operation of power generation.

Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)
- Mounting Stability Check: Since it uses DIN rail mounting, during installation, it is necessary to ensure that the module is firmly clamped on the DIN rail. Loose installation may lead to poor contact of internal circuits due to vibration in industrial sites. After installation, manually check the firmness of the module to avoid displacement during operation.
- Protocol Configuration Confirmation: The module supports multiple communication protocols. When connecting to the upper system, it is necessary to confirm that the selected protocol (such as Ethernet/IP, Profinet) and corresponding parameters are consistent with the system configuration. Inconsistent configurations will cause communication failures. After the configuration is completed, a full-link communication test should be carried out to ensure smooth data transmission.
- Regular Fault Diagnosis: The module has a fault detection and diagnosis function. During daily maintenance, it is necessary to regularly check the fault prompts of the module. For potential fault signals, timely trace the cause. When expanding the I/O module online, it is necessary to confirm that the expansion operation will not affect the operation of the current system, and conduct a function test on the expanded part after the expansion to ensure that the new module can work normally with the T8310C.
