ICS Triplex T9100 Trusted Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) Controller

Key Features

• Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Three independent processors run the same control algorithm simultaneously, comparing data and correcting errors to ensure high system availability and reliability.
• High Performance: Advanced control algorithms and high-speed data processing capabilities enable rapid response to process changes.
• Fault Tolerance: Automatic isolation of faulty components without interrupting system operation, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) and improving system uptime.
• Hot Swapping: Modules can be replaced during operation without system shutdown, minimizing downtime.
• Strong Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with other ICS Triplex products and third-party devices, supporting various programming languages and development tools.
• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Built-in self-tests and real-time monitoring of module health, including processor status, memory integrity, and communication health.
• Rich Communication Interfaces: Multiple ports support connections to various industrial equipment and systems, facilitating centralized monitoring and control.
• Human-Machine Interface (HMI): Supports ICS iFIX software for intuitive visualization, operation, and maintenance.

Functionality

• Process Control: Monitors and controls critical process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate in real-time.
• Safety Monitoring: Collects emergency stop signals and safety switch statuses to prevent accidents.
• Signal Acquisition: Interfaces with sensors to acquire process data (e.g., temperature, pressure, level).
• Control Output: Sends control signals to actuators (e.g., valves, motors) to regulate process variables.
• Data Communication: Exchanges data with other control systems, PLCs, and HMI devices for coordinated operation.

Application Scenarios
