T8461 | ICS Triplex | TMR 24/48 Vdc Digital Output Module
DESCRIPTION
The T8461 is a high-performance TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) digital output module designed by ICS Triplex. It is used in safety-critical applications where reliability and fault tolerance are essential. The module operates at 24/48 Vdc and provides precise and robust output control.
Key Features
- Output Channels: 40 TMR output channels per module
- Isolation Groups: Five isolated groups of eight outputs each
- Output Array: Six-element voted output array for fault tolerance
- Diagnostics and Self-Test: Comprehensive internal diagnostics and self-testing capabilities
- Safety Compliance: Meets IEC 61508 SIL-3 standards for safety-critical applications
- Line Monitoring: Per-channel line monitoring to detect field wiring and load failures
- Automatic Over-current Protection: Each output circuit has built-in over-current protection, eliminating the need for external fuses
- Opto-Isolation: 2500V dc for enhanced safety and signal integrity
- Hot Replaceable: Modules can be replaced without interrupting operation
- Status Indicators: Front panel LEDs provide status for each channel, along with module fault and status indicators
Fault Detection and Replacement
- Fault Indication: Module faults are flagged by the TrustedTM TMR Processor, signaling the need for replacement
- Continued Operation: System continues to operate until a replacement module is installed
- Replacement Modules: Can be located in a standby slot or a designated SmartSlot with a temporary connection to the TrustedTM Termination Assembly
Configuration and Installation
- Configuration Tool: Configured using the TrustedTM Toolset on an Engineering Workstation
- Mechanical Keying: Prevents incorrect insertion of modules into slots
- Line Monitoring: Configurable per channel to ensure detection of field wiring and load failures
Technical Specifications
- Number of Outputs: 40 channels
- Independent Power Groups: Five groups, each with eight outputs
-
Field Common Isolation:
- Sustained Working: ±250V dc
- Maximum Withstanding: ±2.5kV dc
-
Output Voltage:
- Measurement Range: 0 to 36V dc
- Maximum Withstanding: -1 to 60V dc
- Output Current Rating: Continuous 2A per channel
- Output Off Resistance (Effective Leakage): 33kΩ
- Power Consumption: 24W (1A per channel)
- Output Turn On/Off Delay: 0.5ms
