The T8193 is a Trusted Three‑Slot Wide Empty Cover Module—a passive mechanical filler designed exclusively for T8100 controller/expander chassis, providing environmental protection for unused three‑slot bays, maintaining chassis airflow integrity, and supporting hot‑swap compatibility while preserving the system’s IEC 61508 SIL 3 safety certification for TMR architectures.

Product Name

ICS Triplex T8193 Trusted Three‑Slot Wide Empty Cover Module (Part Number: T8193; Form Factor: Three‑Slot Wide 3U Eurocard; Compatible Chassis: T8100 Controller/Expander Chassis; Category: Passive Mechanical Filler Module; No Electrical Components)

Product Overview

The ICS Triplex T8193 is a purpose‑built, passive three‑slot wide empty cover module for Trusted T8100‑series TMR systems. It installs in unused three‑slot bays of T8100 chassis to seal empty slots, preventing dust, moisture, and physical debris from entering the chassis interior while maintaining proper internal airflow for heat dissipation. The module features a robust, high‑impact plastic construction matching the chassis mechanical footprint, with no electrical components or backplane connections. It supports hot‑swap installation and removal without system shutdown, ensuring operational continuity during configuration changes. The T8193 preserves the chassis’s mechanical integrity and electromagnetic shielding, aligning with SIL 3 safety requirements for safety instrumented systems (SIS) in critical industrial environments.

Functional Features

  1. Slot Sealing & Protection: Seals unused three‑slot bays to prevent dust, moisture, and debris from entering the chassis, protecting active modules and backplane components.
  2. Airflow Maintenance: Maintains proper internal airflow paths for heat dissipation, preventing overheating of adjacent active modules (e.g., T8111 processors, T8151C communication modules).
  3. Mechanical Integrity: Reinforces chassis structure by filling empty slots, reducing physical stress on chassis rails and backplane connectors.
  4. Hot‑Swap Compatibility: Installs and removes without system shutdown, supporting zero‑downtime configuration changes or module upgrades.
  5. Electromagnetic Shielding: Preserves chassis EMI/EMC shielding performance, minimizing external interference with safety‑critical control signals.
  6. Chassis Aesthetics: Matches T8100 chassis and active module color/finish for a uniform, professional appearance.
  7. Flame‑Retardant Construction: High‑impact plastic with UL 94 V‑0 flame rating reduces fire risk in industrial environments.
  8. Tool‑Free Installation: Slides into chassis slots with a secure locking mechanism, requiring no tools for installation or removal.
  9. Passive Design: No power draw or backplane connections, eliminating electrical load on the chassis power supply and avoiding signal interference.

Application Scenarios

  1. Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Deployed in oil & gas, chemical, and petrochemical plants to seal unused slots in T8100 SIS chassis, maintaining SIL 3 compliance while protecting against environmental contamination.
  2. Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Used in refineries and power generation facilities to fill empty three‑slot bays in T8100 expander chassis, ensuring airflow for DCS‑connected safety modules.
  3. Nuclear Power Auxiliary Systems: Installed in T8100 chassis for nuclear plant safety systems, preserving chassis integrity and shielding in radiation‑controlled environments.
  4. Marine & Offshore Platforms: Seals empty slots in T8100 chassis on offshore rigs, withstanding extreme temperatures, vibration, and salt spray while maintaining system airflow.
  5. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Fills unused bays in T8100 chassis for batch control SIS, preventing particulate contamination in cleanroom environments.
  6. Mining & Heavy Industry: Used in remote mining T8100 systems to protect chassis from dust, moisture, and physical damage, supporting reliable operation in harsh underground conditions.
